"Politics Design" is a thought-provoking exploration of the powerful role that graphic design and marketing play in contemporary politics. Through a collection of striking visuals, author and graphic designer Carlos Simpson delves into the world of political stamps, revealing how these small but impactful tools have the power to shape public opinion and influence cultural perspectives. This exceptional book highlights some of the most iconic moments in recent political history, including Brexit, the rise of Donald Trump in the United States, and other key global events. Using typography and layout as the exclusive basis for posters, signs, and stickers, Simpson reveals how social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook have transformed the political landscape, fundamentally altering the way campaigns are waged and voters are persuaded. During a constant bombardment of information and an unprecedented level of media manipulation, "Politics Design" is a vital resource for anyone seeking to understand the complex dynamics of contemporary politics. Named one of the most promising references in this field by respected publications such as People, Associated Press, Time, Daily Mail, Newsday, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, The Guardian, Publishers Weekly, and Royal Mail, this book is essential reading for anyone seeking to make sense of the tumultuous world of modern politics.
Design and Political Dissent
This book examines, through an interdisciplinary lens, the relationship between political dissent and processes of designing. In the past twenty years, theorists of social movements have noted a diversity of visual and performative manifestations taking place in protest, while the fields of design, broadly defined, have been characterized by a growing interest in activism. The book’s premise stems from the recognition that material engagement and artifacts have the capacity to articulate political arguments or establish positions of disagreement. Its contributors look at a wide array of material practices generated by both professional and nonprofessional design actors around the globe, exploring case studies that vary from street protests and encampments to design pedagogy and community-empowerment projects. For students and scholars of design studies, urbanism, visual culture, politics, and social movements, this book opens up new perspectives on design and its place in contemporary politics.
Transformation Design
“Transformation design” is looking for new ways to change our behavior and society through new forms of innovation. The existing user-oriented approach of design must therefore be extended to one that is society-oriented. The concept of transformation is based on the anthropologist Karl Paul Polanyi and his book The Great Transformation (1944), which described the emergence of the now almost undisputed and globally widespread western market logic: the transformation of societies with markets into market societies, which he calls “dislodgment of the markets”. Meanwhile, leading think tanks are referring to Polanyi. They are calling for a new social contract and the “re-embedding” of the market into society. What are the possible instruments and contributions of design for this new “Great Transformation”? The variety of the above questions, answers, theories, methods, ideas, and projects suggests that “transformation design” is not in fact a discipline in itself, but that it will lead to a fruitful discourse. The book attempts to form an initial position in terms of this ambitious and ethical design perspective. It also seeks to inspire the international debate to push for a project of responsible design.
