Cover art variations for One and Many Mirrors: Perspectives on Graphic Design Education
Edited by Luke Wood and Brad Haylock
Edited by Luke Wood and Brad Haylock
This ambitious book brings together a wide international selection of new and recent writing by educators and practitioners who question the rules and hierarchies of graphic design education today. It holds a vivid mirror up to the ways in which graphic design is imagined, taught, received and reproduced. Edited by two designer-educators, One and many mirrors provides an urgent overview of the field of contemporary graphic design education for all those concerned with its past, present and possible futures.
The cover images are a series of 3 variations, a contemporary take on an elementary composition exercise of the type commonly associated with Johannes Itten’s Basic Course at the Bauhaus, here executed algorithmically using Processing. Generative processes that take a human input to create a variety of outputs are becoming increasingly enmeshed in graphic design practice. Using systems that require the designer to relinquish control, they can reveal genuinely novel, surprising and self-renewing outcomes and compositions.
