Created by students, for students, Design History Reader espouses a pluralistic, communal approach to tackling design issues The goal of this collaborative, enthusiastic textbook on design history is to create a resource offering a diverse, inclusive view of graphic design history, specifically articulated through the student voice. Design History Reader was led by Kristen Coogan, Associate Professor of Art and Graphic Design at Boston University, who applies the department's pluralistic approach to the topic. The case studies featured in this book are real-life examples from her students that demonstrate the practical, ubiquitous applications of design theory. They began as a curricular revision and evolved into a new form of design history pedagogy. Already a part of Boston University's graphic design curriculum, this student-focused reader is an excellent choice for course adoption, or for the bookshelf of an independent aspiring designer.Contributors include: Annabella Pugliese, Belle Bennet, Charles Li, Dar Saravia, Ellen Johnson, Flora Kerner, Grace Chong, Haya AlMajali, Julia Cheung, Kristina Shumilina, Lauren Had, Leila Garner, Maidha Salman, Natalie Seitz, Rayne Schulman, Rhea Jauhar, Rashina Wang, Sheryl Peng, Sophie Zimbler, Tzu-Hsuan Huang, Winnie Mei, Xiuqi Ran, Yue Luo.

Ten artists offer new considerations for grieving in the digital ageIn the digital era, the experience of death and grief is the opposite of that of centuries past: saturated with information, yet devoid of rituality. With this influx of media and "content," is it possible that some form of visual culture could cut through the noise in order to reconcile human beings with death? Death Design Data unites 10 contemporary artists and designers to explore how different creative practices can produce new, innovative rituals surrounding death and loss, and how they affect us. The experiences, memories and invocations shared on these pages invite us to reconsider our mortality and the vessels that we use to navigate life and death.Contributors include: MAalex, Thomas Walskaar, Camille Wiesel, Studio GISTO & Goga Mason, Perrine De Donato, Susanne Duijvestein, Lorenzo Montinaro, Mourning School.

An artist's rigorous examination of the historical and future significance of a hallucinogenic member of the nightshade familyThe mandragora plant, commonly known as the mandrake, is one of the best-recorded gynecological herbal substances. It is also the only plant in the European context historically depicted as half human and half plant. In the richly illustrated Three Becomes Two Becomes One Becomes None, the Swiss artist Leonie Brandner (born 1992) explores the medicinal and magical properties of the plant, moving from the beginning of recorded storytelling to ancient Egyptian and Greek mythology and the many other stories that have grown around mandragora throughout history. Joining rigorous historical research with her own perception and encounters, she traces mandragora through medicinal tomes and folklore, eventually arriving at the impact the plant had during the witch hunts of the Middle Ages. Could the mandragora's many stories hold the potential for new orders and world-making? Brandner creates a dazzling kaleidoscopic image of human-plant imaginations across time.

The act of dreaming is positioned delicately between the real and the unreal. It is nourished by hope and desire, but also by fear and disillusionment.Daily realities guide and narrate our dreams, but could this also work vice versa? Dreams are potent and give shape to the as yet unformed, what wouldarise if we started those of individuals and communities to shape a collective dream? When we dream together, we invent new paradigms, rules, and worlds, which could have a tangible impact on the present and initiate processes of transformation on a societal level. Would a common dream be ableto reshape reality and change it?

We design for life, death and posterity, all together - while understanding who and/or what is permissible to kill or let die. We try to understand why water is a false dragon and how it gives and takes life. We are encouraged to do some push-ups. We rearrange things made of more things, we steal them and we question their economic value, trying to make sense of it in the process. We dance Kumbia and listen to the earth with the people who work under and on it.

What if we reconsider contemporary rural challenges through relationships rather than oppositions? Based on seasonal work experiences, Seasonal Matters Rural Relations delves into the realm of contemporary agriculture and European labour migration. Through a variety of discursive formats, ranging from essays and interviews to drawings and recipes, this book explores the socio-political implications on rhythms, rituals, and cohabitation in Europe's countryside. The publication encourages a layered conversation between agricultural workers, engaged citizens, artists, and designers.
