A *Co-* Program for Graphic Design
$ 940.00
“Over the years, David has shown me that design isn’t just about aesthetics or function—it’s about collaboration, experimentation, and constantly questioning what design can be. A *Co-* Program for Graphic Design is a fundamental exploration into the history of design, how it has shaped our society and reveals the often overlooked power that design holds in shaping our future.”
—Martine Syms, Artist and filmmaker
“'All together now,' as The Beatles sang in 1967. Those three simple words seem to be at the core of David Reinfurt’s argument, as he convincingly shows that graphic design, as a living practice, exists exactly in the intersection of multiplicity (‘All’), collectivity (‘Together’), and modernity (‘Now’).”
—Experimental Jetset, Graphic design studio
From ancient Rome to outer space, A *Co-* Program for Graphic Design features contributions by Danielle Aubert, Tauba Auerbach, Barbara Glauber, Shannon Harvey, Adam Michaels, Philip Ording, and Adam Pendleton. This collectively driven text expands David Reinfurt’s pragmatic and experimental approach to pedagogy into a collaborative project that weaves together a multiplicity of voices to present a polyphonic approach to design history and teaching.
This book extends Reinfurt’s highly acclaimed A *New* Program for Graphic Design to include material from three new Princeton University courses (Circulation, Multiplicity, and Research) expressly designed for online teaching.
These courses present a *co-*llaborative and *co-*operative way of telling and teaching design history, taking on subjects from the Detroit Printing Co-op, Corita Kent, and Charles and Ray Eames, to Marshall McLuhan, Sylvia Harris, and Virgil Abloh. Through a series of in-depth historical case studies and assignments that progressively build in complexity, the book serves as a practical guide to visually understanding the history—and shaping the future—of our designed world.
