This book makes a plea for adaptive mentalities within design pedagogy through a non-normative approach to design practices. It investigates an attitude in and towards design education that is socially engaged, politically aware, generous in approach, lyrical in tone, experimental in form, and collaborative in practice. Additionally, it explores the kinds of work being developed and how an institute can be responsible in supporting an securing these modes of practice. The book is geared towards design students and educators worldwide, and includes a selection of works developed in the context of the Design Department of the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam.

Design in Conservative Times

Design in Conservative Times tackles conservatism in and around design, challenging both designer and user to actively engage with, and reflect upon their positions within our current, politically charged landscape. The focal point of this reflection at large ranges from hands-on issues within specific practices, to the broader, more fundamental motivations that fuel them. Within this book, Onomatopee wishes to explore the conservative currents and cadence in and around design(ed) culture. By inviting both graphic design and fashion design professionals to comment, reflect, promote, critique, provoke and/or contemplate on conservative culture in relation to their own visions, design practice and designed goods, we wish to lay bare the intricacies and dynamics of design(er) in society today. As a result, issues of feminism, decolonisation, queerness, engagement, ecology, production and preservation in relation to conservatism today come to the forefront of conversation.

The Politics of Design

  • Categories: Art

Many designs that appear in today's society will circulate and encounter audiences of many different cultures and languages. With communication comes responsibility; are designers aware of the meaning and impact of their work? An image or symbol that is acceptable in one culture can be offensive or even harmful in the next. A typeface or colour in a design might appear to be neutral, but its meaning is always culturally dependent. If designers learn to be aware of global cultural contexts, we can avoid stereotyping and help improve mutual understanding between people. Politics of Design is a collection of visual examples from around the world. Using ideas from anthropology and sociology, it ...

Mintha Magyarország útikönyvet vennénk kézbe rengeteg színes fotóval, néhány segítő tematikus térképpel és minimális diagrammal. Az ötletesen és igényesen szerkesztett könyvben azonban a magyar valóság, a néplélek és kultúra mélyére hatolhat az olvasó. A kétnyelvű (magyar-angol) kiadvány alapötlete Annalys de Vet tervezőgrafikustól származik, aki hazája, Hollandia, majd Palesztina és Szerbia után Magyarországot választotta ki, hogy kreatív emberek szemszögéből készíttesse el ezt az informatív látleletet. A megvalósítás a korábbi mintákhoz hasonlóan ötven fiatal alkotó (többnyire dizájnerek és kreatív grafikusok) összehívásával k...

I Used to Be a Design Student

This book offers a rare chance to read what graphic designers feel about their education and profession. Fifty influential designers give the low-down about their student days and their professional lives. A piece of their college work is shown alongside an example of current work. Each designer also offers a key piece of advice and a warning, making this a must-read for anyone embarking on a career in design. The book looks at the process a designer goes through in finding their 'voice'. Topics addressed include how ideas are researched and developed; design and other cultural influences, then and now; positive and negative aspects of working as a designer; motivations for becoming a designer; and whether it's really possible to teach design. Contributors include Stefan Sagmeister, James Goggin, Karlssonwilker, Studio Dumbar, Cornel Windlin, Daniel Eatock, Spin, Hyperkit and Christian Küsters.

Social Design Cookbook

Why do people turn their homes into a restaurant for a day? Why do people volunteer for scientific or community projects without getting paid? How can one get people actively involved in social projects? Social Design Cookbook uncovers what it takes to organise successful and sustainable social initiatives. It features comprehensive case studies of a broad, international selection of social cooperative formats that have been successful in their local communities and have also been successfully replicated in other locations and contexts. By looking at an array of such practices, the authors have developed the Social Design Canvas, which can be used to analyse and design new forms of social co...
