On the Edges of Graphic Design from A--Z - by Anja Lutz Paperback

Book Synopsis

Filled with hundreds of entries covering the wide-reaching and far-flung margins of graphic design, this book offers a definitive outlook from the A--Z design center in Berlin

This book traces the past, present and future of alternative graphic design at the hands of a multidisciplinary and international design community and its artistic and community-building practices at A--Z Presents, a Berlin-based space for experimental graphic design. Assuming the form of an "index for alternative graphic design," the book offers a comprehensive view of the wide range of activities performed by a multitude of graphic designers and visual artists from diverse backgrounds, ages and career standings in the past six years. The first part, "A--Z," features all the activities and events initiated by A--Z, with contributions from designers like Na Kim, Niklaus Troxler and the Rodina, and over 100 entries in between. The second part, titled "--?," features 32 international designers, including April Greiman, Richard Niessen and Loraine Furter, to envision the future of graphic design.
