Space considerations have prevented a comprehensive index to be published in Volume. So as to preserve the document and provide a kind of preview to the book, I publish the full index here. Future dedicated readers could print it out and include it with their copy. Or, perhaps, those reading on their iPads might link [...]]]></description>

A final cover design has been selected for my upcoming book Volume; Writings on Graphic Design, Music, Art, and Culture. The design and concept is by my teaching colleague, Jiwon Lee. He arranged and photographed an assortment of artifacts from my office.

		<description><![CDATA[
For Eye magazine&#8217;s summer 2009 “Agenda” section, Steven Heller produced another cult alert. By titling the piece “Cult of the Squiggly,” he obviously meant to invoke his earlier, infamous “Cult of the Ugly” essay. It’s a fair reference: both articles decry and advocate suppression of anti-Modern graphic design phenomena Heller deems disadvantageous to the field. [...]]]></description>

This year&#8217;s Valentine card from Marian Bantjes was a design laser-cut from a repurposed Christmas card. (Weeks in advance of the day, she was soliciting donations of old cards via Facebook.) Each card is therefor unique, as far as the card design is concerned. An additional delight was the illustration of a Cupid&#8217;s arrow-shot Santa [...]]]></description>

Years ago, I worked at a national historic site on Boston&#8217;s Freedom Trail. A frequent question of visitors was &#8220;How much of the building is original?&#8221; I knew what they meant by the question but sometimes I felt waggish (or was a smarmy asshole, depending upon your point of view) and would answer that it [...]]]></description>

The artists come from around the world, with work representing a wide variety of media, including artist books, print, text, design, photography, [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve posted two relatively lengthy responses to a new essay by Steven Heller, &#8220;The Decade of Dirty Design,&#8221; at Voice: AIGA Journal of Design. I contend that the label doesn&#8217;t encompass the entirety of design activity, focusing on a singular but not definitive exponent of design activity. I first offer a deliberately provocative (and arguably [...]]]></description>

Repurposes is still happening, however, our selection process has been delayed. Due to some technical difficulties involved in curating across two coasts (Norfolk, VA and Los Angeles, CA), and some new budget concerns to take into consideration, we’ve fallen behind our initial deadline to contact people. We understand that many of you have other opportunities [...]]]></description>
