Synopsis
This guide takes a look at 21st century design in a critical, educational, ethical, historical, social, and often humorous way.
Based on the popular "Design Issues" column in Communication Arts, this anthology of brilliantly-conceived mind-teasers explores how design communicates with, rubs itself against, and sometimes stumbles around the "real" world. Here are some of the column's most intriguing and provocative selections, taken from an unorthodox mix of over 20 contributors, covering a range of subjects from designing a corporate identity to the philosophical dimensions of art. Upbeat and entertaining, it's sure to capture the attention of artists, illustrators and designers"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

From the Inside Flap
"An abundant cornucopia of design opinions that examines a wide range of subjects by some of the profession's most thoughtful critics and practitioners." — Milton Glaser, Milton Glaser, Inc.
"One of the compelling needs of the design profession is to find ways to stimulate thinking about design—beyond simply the daily encounter with visual language. Design Issues fills the need with articulate, thought-provoking essays on matters from the mundane to the idiosyncratic, yet each intriguing in its own right." — Richard Grefé, Executive Director, AIGA
"DK brings an intelligence to design that enriches the profession and makes one proud to be a designer." — Aubrey Balkind, CEO, Frankfurt Balkind
