Examines how designers approach the creation of a range of designs with a recognisable and continual element.
Empire of Dirt
Inside the culture of an artistically influential music community Britain is widely considered the cradle of independent music culture. Bands like Radiohead and Belle and Sebastian, which epitomize indie music's sounds and attitudes, have spawned worldwide fanbases. This in-depth study of the British independent music scene explores how the behavior of fans, artists, and music industry professionals produce a community with a specific aesthetic based on moral values. Author Wendy Fonarow, a scholar with years of experience in the various sectors of the indie music scene, examines the indie music "gig" as a ritual in which all participants are actively involved. This ritual allows participants to play with cultural norms regarding appropriate behavior, especially in the domains of sex and creativity. Her investigation uncovers the motivations of audience members when they first enter the community and how their positions change over time so that the gig functions for most members as a rite of passage. Empire of Dirt sheds new light on music, gender roles, emotion, subjectivity, embodiment, and authenticity.
Writing
Long ignored and belittled for its proximity to comic culture and vandalism, graffiti has steadfastly remained in the public view. Complemented by a number of essays, this work surveys this appropriation of public space and examines the detailedfusion of analogue writing and digital design.
From Surface Into Space
The second instalment of dgv's own, strictly ad-free periodical once again provides a proving ground for fringe projects, interesting snippets, indulgent spreads and radical exercises by the finest designers. With a very loose focus on the intersection, interplay and exchange between graphic design and architecture, a bulk of the work is concerned with the properties of space. An inspired run (from urban actionism to graffiti and typography), these unusual exercises delight in tweaking the norms (from surface into space) of 2D, 3D and entirely new dimensions. True to the maxim "anything is possible as long as it's great", Ubersee 2 remains a haven for the good, great and downright strange with decidedly sinister takes on nametagging, photography by Andrea Giacobbe and a selection of fantastic oil paintings by Lutz Pramann.
North by North
After a close look at recent design developments in both Switzerland ("Swiss Graphic Design") and Japan ("Narita Inspected"), "North by North "highlights the current state of young, contemporary Scandinavian graphic design. Exploring the astonishing variety and quality of emerging talent, from this area in all areas of graphic design.
Illusive
Over the past four years, Illusive and Illusive 2 have documented the flourishing discipline of illustration and established its expressive, poetic and esteemed voice in contemporary visual culture. They introduced world-class illustrators of the time as well as discovering fresh talent still yet to be found by the mainstream. The third volume of the series, Illusive: Edition 2010 further documents the thriving medium of contemporary illustration with work by illustrators curated from around the globe.

Showcasing and analysing the surprising variety and promise of animation in its broadest sense - from traditional camera work via Flash animations to modern source code manipulation - the book displays remarkable variety in more than 150 projects between design and art, experiment and commerce, eccentricity and narration, video clip and web site, San Francisco and Tokyo in picture, text and on DVD 9.
Resistance and the City
The contributions collected in the second volume of Resistance and the City are devoted to the three markers of identity that cultural studies has recognised as paramount for our understanding of difference, inequality, and solidarity in modern societies: race, class, and gender. These categories, tightly linked to the mechanics of power, domination and subordination, have often played an eminent role in contemporary struggles and clashes in urban space. The confluence of people from diverse ethnic, social, and sexual backgrounds in the city has not only raised their awareness of a variety of life concepts and motivated them to negotiate their own positions, but has also encouraged them to develop strategies of resistance against patterns of social and spatial exclusion.
