Copy Proof
The book presents the theory and practice of a new kind of designing, geared to the demands of rapidly changing technology, new patterns in the exchange and communication of information and the changing needs or society. Introductory essays examine the history and current practice of education in design, and five prominent Dutch authors analyse the final projects of ten Post-St. Joost designers, work which is also extensively illustrated.
Media Rhetoric
This volume considers the paramount implications to persuasive communication that media brought regarding how we think, express, argue and feel together. It is concerned with both the media practice of rhetoric activity and the rhetorical practice of media activity: it considers how the media integrated rhetorical speech, and analyses how rhetoric adapted to media societies. Media and rhetoric are highly dependent on each other because, to persuasively communicate today, media must also be considered. The book is about how the media alter the ways we talk, discuss, argue and convince. It is focused on the theoretical and empirical analysis of communication technologies such as advertising and digital technologies as persuasive mechanisms and central tenets of contemporary 21st century rhetoric. Concentrating on two of the most fundamental areas of media rhetoric—advertising and digital media—the six chapters, authored by scholars from around the world, demonstrate how persuasive speech is exerted in, through and by the media.

Subjects
Their Cow Chair consists of a complete, uncut hide of a cow; that is all that is needed to create a sturdy piece of furniture. A tea service is stained with golden tea splashes straight from the manufacturer. Iconic works like these have been catching the attention of museums, companies and the design press for the last ten years or so. Niels van Eijk & Miriam van der Lubbe's areas of interest sometimes seem perfectly at home in the agenda that has made Dutch Design so well known. But they are just as likely to tunnel their way out of that particular pigeonhole. With their fascination for the technical execution of experimental products, their liking for a measured touch of banality and the flexibility of their working methods, they prove adept not only in craft or industrial products but also in exhibition layouts and interiors. "Subjects" is a monograph that illustrates and discusses the huge scope of their work and places it in a wider context. Exhibition: Audax Textielmuseum, Tilburg, 27 June - 11 October 2009.

In the Bubble
How to design a world in which we rely less on stuff, and more on people. We're filling up the world with technology and devices, but we've lost sight of an important question: What is this stuff for? What value does it add to our lives? So asks author John Thackara in his new book, In the Bubble: Designing for a Complex World. These are tough questions for the pushers of technology to answer. Our economic system is centered on technology, so it would be no small matter if "tech" ceased to be an end-in-itself in our daily lives. Technology is not going to go away, but the time to discuss the end it will serve is before we deploy it, not after. We need to ask what purpose will be served by th...
