Product Description

Product Description

With the world's economy in a slump and the ongoing war on terrorism, there is a heightened awareness in the world community of the numerous issues that both directly and indirectly affect our lives. Increasingly, people are feeling powerless and excluded because they have no voice. Designers, however, do have a voice. They are among the most influential bystanders because their skills enable them to communicate a message easily through the internet or through posters and print. A picture is worth a thousand words, and designers have used this adage to their advantage for years by creating simple, yet powerful designs that immediately convey the message to the viewer. "The Design of Dissent" focuses on graphic work that designers have made as a result of social and political concerns. The timing is certainly ripe as the world flares up in opposition on so many important issues, and the work featured in the book will both confront these issues and inspire the reader.

He co-founded the revolutionary Pushpin Studios, founded New York Magazine with Clay Felker, established Milton Glaser, Inc. and teamed up with Walter Bernard to form the publication design firm WBMG. His artwork has been featured in exhibits worldwide, including one-man shows at both the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. He lives in New York City.

Mirko Iliæ, born in Bosnia, illustrated and art-directed posters, record covers and comics in Europe before moving to the US in 1986. He has served as art director for the international edition of Time and the New York Times Op-Ed pages. In 1995, he established Mirko Iliæ Corp., graphic design and 3-D computer graphics and motion picture title studio. Iliæ has taught at Cooper Union and the School of Visual Arts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellently and thoughtfully collected and constructed., 16 Feb 2006
This review is from: The Design of Dissent: Socially and Politically Driven Graphics (Hardcover)
Anyone interested in graphics and/or politics....maybe even if these things don't interest you, will appreciate this book.

I say "excellently and thoughtfully collected and constructed", for these reasons. Although there is very much a modern and liberal stance in the collection, the pictures are left to do the talking- with explanations which are kept simple but informative. The examples are all high quality- and graphics from both view points in some issues are included- such as the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Of course the best thing about this book, and quite rightly the focus, is the graphics. As you would expect, there are so many different approaches taken and so many styles and media used. It proves that both the bleak and the hopeful, both the subtle and the stark can be equally honest, striking and effective.
