Special feature: The Conditions of Graphic Design
From IDEA Mag: "How is graphic design possible?
Asked so many times in the past, this question has often functioned as life prolongation device that drove the infinite cycle of deconstruction and reconstruction of graphic design itself. But we would like to first accept the fact that it is not easy to understand the graphic design in the post-historical world, and that it is not possible to describe and tell about the official history of graphic design after the Modern Era.
Here, in this special feature article, we would like to cut the continuity of such movement of graphic design so that we could record and mark in details the present moment of graphic design. Works and texts of different designers with different contexts are juxtaposed in every spread so that they are violently dissimilated beyond the context of each. We hope the readers will be able to form the image of today's graphic design that may appear like a constellation in the night sky."
