Volumes: Design Reviewed Remixed Revealed

Volume is an artifact of graphic design, a quantity, and a characteristic of music. This book explores the dynamics of volume in graphic design, from vernacular expressions to professional practice, featured in critical essays, reviews, speculations, polemics, incitements and fictions. 

Volumes features over 30 texts spanning over 25 years. In addition to four new works, original articles have been revised, with most featuring afterwords providing updates and reevaluations.

Writings are grouped in four sections: “Field Recordings” offers critiques of education, practice and theory; “Amplifications” addresses the relationship of music and graphic design; “Teleidoscopin’” offers short fictions and narratives on art, design, and creativity; “Inference/Resonance” has longer-form speculations on art and design culture.
