THE POLITICS OF DESIGN

The Politics of Design explores the cultural and political context of the typography, colours, photography, symbols, and information graphics that we use every day. Designers, communication specialists, and image-makers possess the power to shape visual communication, and with that power comes great responsibility. Are we as creative professionals really aware of the political meaning and impact of our work in today’s network society? This book examines cultural contexts and stereotypes with visual references from around the world, demonstrating that communication tools are never neutral..

THE HARD LIFE

The Hard Life explores the effect that generations of trial and error, individual craftsmanship and an instinct to carve out the essential with the slenderest of means, brought to the tools which made life both liveable and meaningful to a pre-industrial society. It poses the questions, by what means did so much beauty and ingenuity arrive in articles of everyday rural life in Portugal? How did the shape of these objects balance necessity and formal perfection so skilfully? The objects may be appreciated both for their innate sense of  beauty and for the design principles established.
