David Preston uses three design agencies in post-war Britain as a prism through which to explore the development of corporate design and the transformation of designer from individual artist to business agent.

Chronicling the emergence of brand consultancy, this book explores how the development and proliferation of brand identity systems transformed the working methods and ideals of practicing graphic designers working in post-war Britain. Practitioners in Britain were at the forefront of efforts to transform corporate identity design into a recognised practice with its own codified methods. Focussing particularly on the British experience, the book also draws on the influences and developments in this formative era in other countries, including the US and Germany. During this period designers were struggling with two conflicting paradigms - the socially motivated, free spirited artist-designer and the design entrepreneur as corporate agent. David Preston uses three key design agencies as the springboard to explore this foundational period in the history of graphic design labour practices - the practical rationality of Hans Schleger &amp; Associates, the systematic methods of Henrion Design Associates and the Design Research Unit and their design manual as an instrument of control. These design agencies created some of the most striking and successful brand identities of the era - the KLM logo, the British Rail double arrow, the John Lewis branding of the 1960s, Glenfiddich's iconic triangular bottle, the Post Office's house style, the National Theatre logo and many more. The case studies look at the power at play, how branding became systematic, the struggle between motives and standards, and draws on first-hand interviews with key actors and archival material. A valuable contribution to our understanding of British post-war graphic design and the history of branding.

The Curious Collectibles Sticker Book

Women Graphic Designers is an edited anthology of 42 original and previously published essays featuring undervalued and marginalized female graphic designers from diverse global cultures who worked professionally during the 20th century.

Women are now the largest student body demographic in graphic design programs, yet in the twenty-first century the professional work of female designers is still underrepresented or ignored in the media and historical canons. Women Graphic Designers features illustrated essays of 41 undervalued and marginalized female graphic designers from diverse global cultures who worked professionally during the 20th century (1900–1999). Each essay critically explores each subject's challenges and alternative approaches when faced with professional roadblocks or personal and family dilemmas. With a broad range of contributors from around the world looking at the work of international graphic designers, this new collection is ideal for use on courses that expand the conversation beyond the traditional canon and look at design history holistically. This significantly important publication will celebrate the contribution women have made to the discipline of graphic design and help establish a more comprehensive, diverse and inclusive design history.

Rebalancing the Canon

Women Graphic Designers

Designers seek moments of creative bliss when everything aligns, stress dissolves, and decisions flow effortlessly. These 'in the zone' experiences keep creatives inspired. This book uncovers the dynamic nature of the design process, shedding light on the various modes of thinking that shape creative work.The design process is often taught through a linear framework: define the problem, do the research, generate ideas, prototype, test, and refine. This structure offers a shared language across disciplines-from architecture to fashion design-providing a roadmap for clarity and progress. However, as any practicing designer knows, the real process is far more fluid. With time and experience, designers learn to embrace the nonlinear nature of their work. Iteration becomes second nature, and space is made for unexpected, creative leaps-spontaneous breakthroughs where new connections emerge. These moments arise from the intersection of conscious and unconscious thought, resulting in surprising and powerful ideas. Within this intersection, the 'beautiful mess' of the designer's natural state emerges. This mess isn't disorder-it's the dynamic interplay between structured methods and spontaneous inspiration, revealing the fascinating tangle of creative thinking. This book celebrates that vibrant, messy process. Through rich photography of everyday studios and thoughtful conversations with artists, designers, and makers from across disciplines, it offers an intimate glimpse into how ideas are formed and refined. Whether you're a student, an emerging creative, or an experienced practitioner, this book invites you to recognize-and embrace-the unique nature of your own design journey, and find inspiration in the glorious chaos of making.

Praise for THE NEW NATURE OF BUSINESS "Hoffmann and Vanham demonstrate vividly that today's business-as-usual is not sustainable. They provide a compelling blueprint for how companies can reinvent their business models to align with the interests of nature and society-instead of working against them." -CHRISTINE LAGARDE, President, European Central Bank "In The New Nature of Business, Hoffmann and Vanham offer a richly illustrated blueprint for purposeful, sustainable business leadership in the 21st century. It's a compelling case for a holistic, integrated approach to doing business and a must-read for any entrepreneur." -RICHARD BRANSON, Founder, Virgin Group "I challenge any executive to read this book and return to their desk, unchanged. Honest, hopeful, and human, this book will leave you thrilled at the possibilities offered by a new way of doing business." -PAUL POLMAN, business leader and co-author, Net Positive "André Hoffmann takes us from his childhood in the wilds of Camargue, to the boardroom of his family company where he is confronted with what to do about past wrongs-environmental damage and corruption. It helps him shift from 'trying to conform' to having the courage to stand alone (if necessary) for what seems right. It is a tale of the way moments of reckoning help humans build courage to do the right thing, and the kind of vision that can illuminate it." -NGAIRE WOODS, Dean of the Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford "In all the years I've known André, he has always had a mind endlessly focused on the betterment of the world around him. The New Nature of Business urges companies everywhere to seize this moment in history and chart a course for a more sustainable future. I encourage anyone interested in how our global economy can evolve in the face of modern challenges to pick up this book." -ART LEVINSON, Chairman, Apple; Co-founder and CEO, Calico
