Designfaget gennemgår en transformation i disse år. Før gik designeres arbejde hovedsagligt ud på at formgive objekter og håndtere specifikke designopgaver. Nu er designere ikke kun formgivere, men også projektledere, og de skal kunne indgå i alle dele af en designproces fra første idé til endeligt resultat. Designfaget er blevet mere interdisciplinært, og nutidens designere konfronterer anderledes krav end deres forgængere. Design What ?#%! dokumenterer og præsenterer den historiske udvikling, som har fundet sted indenfor designfaget fra de tidlige forsøg på at dokumentere designprocedurer ved Bauhaus-skolen i 1920’erne til nyere trends og forskning i designprocesser. Design What ?#%! er den første faglitterære tegneserie, der ndes om dette emne. Lektorer ved Danmarks Designskole, Ida Engholm og Nanna Norup, vil både fortælle og vise læseren, hvad der rører sig i designfeltet. De formidler designhistorie i overensstemmelse med tidens tværdisciplinære tendenser.

The first serious study on the paintings of the female icon and one of the most celebrated British artists, Tracey Emin Tracey Emin CBE is known for her frank, confessional style and for transforming her inner world into intimate works of art. She has become one of the most celebrated artists in the world, a household name, and part of the Art establishment. Her practice includes painting, drawing, film, photography, sewn appliqué, sculpture, and neon, but in recent years she has focused on painting. Inspired by artists Egon Schiele and Edvard Munch, her paintings are provocative, confrontational, and vulnerable. They are at once deeply personal and universal, and it's for this reason her work is revered around the world, and she has become an international icon. The book features more than 300 images of Emin's gestural and expressive figurative paintings, from the 1990s to today, as well as a conversation with close friend David Dawson and an essay by Australian writer Jennifer Higgie. Made in close collaboration with the artist, this special book is the first publication dedicated to Emin's emotive paintings and showcases her soulful work like never before.

A crystal-ball look into tomorrow's wardrobe: conscious, fair, slow, upcycled, biointelligent, digital ... the fashion industry is undergoing some radical reimagining. What will you be wearing tomorrow? Will your jacket have been grown in a lab, or your jeans coloured using bacteria? How will you access that new shirt you've got your eye on? Will we still have shops? What does the future of work look like for the people who make our garments? The current fashion system is wasteful, environmentally harmful and exploitative. And, if we carry on as we do now, it could account for a quarter of global emissions by 2050. But creative thinkers are dreaming up new ways to craft our sartorial identities that don't wreck the planet. Vogue Australia's first sustainability editor, Clare Press, introduces us to the fascinating innovators who are redesigning fashion from the ground up and changing it in the most fundamental ways. 'Wear Next is an exciting ode to a regenerative fashion future. To truly emerge from the current "planetary emergency", we need all hands on deck and convincing narratives for change across all sectors, and socio-economic-political systems. Through honest storytelling and real-world experiences, Clare Press does just that - and reminds us once again that we have the power to choose the future we want.' - Sandrine Dixson-Declève, Co-President, The Club of Rome.
