'Volumes' features over 30 texts spanning over 25 years. This “remixed” edition of the 2010 original discusses progressive political speech as the “mother” of graphic design, design as entertainment, typography as spur and evasion of criticism, the branding of the Beatles’ Apple Records, the roles of class in design, design education, pornography, album cover art, independent record labels, anonymity and imaginary creative identities, design as cultural chaos-maker, and more. With four new works and afterwords that reevaluate original articles, the book explores the dynamics of volume in graphic design, from vernacular expressions to professional practice.
