Graphic design has broadened its reach dramatically over the past decade, expanding from a specialized profession to a widely deployed skill. The rise of user-generated content, new methods of publishing and systems of distribution, and the wide dissemination of creative software have opened up new opportunities for design. More designers are becoming producers--authors, publishers, instigators and entrepreneurs--actively employing their creative skills as makers of content and shapers of experiences. Featuring work produced since 2000, Graphic Design: Now in Production explores the worlds of design-driven magazines, newspapers, books and posters; the entrepreneurial spirit of designer-produced goods; the renaissance in digital typeface design; the storytelling potential of film and television titling sequences; and the transformation of raw data into compelling information narratives. The catalogue features important original essays by leading designers that tackle themes such as the changing roles of reading and writing within the context of new technologies and self-publishing; the nature of design labor and production, from blue-collar handcraft and making to white-collar design thinking and strategy; and the impact and influence design programs and schools have had on shaping the direction of contemporary graphic design. Co-organized by Walker Art Center and Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, Graphic Design: Now in Production is conceived as a visual compendium in the spirit of the Whole Earth Catalogue. It features posters, info graphics, fonts, books, magazines, film titles, logos and more, interspersed with a variety of small texts delving into specific project details, excerpted artists' statements, interviews and published manifestos, technical details, and new and old technologies and tools.

Pick Me Up Put Me Down

Dorling, Kindersley

Issues takes an incisive look at the influential, exciting, and original new genre of graphic design found between the covers of today's hottest magazines. Right now more and more magazines are being published outside the mainstream and art directors have unprecedented freedom to experiment with format. 
Issues highlights the publications that have revolutionized magazine design and examines the concepts behind their format, page designs, covers, words and images. David Carson's Raygun, Terry Jones' ID, and Visionaire are three powerful examples that have broken traditions and forged images that are aesthetically individual and unique. 
Around the world countless magazines are published on a regular basis and the competition to attract readers is extremely fierce. But why is this compact, portable and highly accessible medium so effective in disseminating information to the public, and why contrary to predictions has it not been eclipsed by the world wide web? Issues answers these questions and demonstrate clearly why the digital encounter has proved unequal to the delightfully tactile and spectacular reading experience afforded by print. If a magazine is 'a storage place for explosives', then Issues is a complete arsenal of the most highly explosive magazine designs ever created.
