Ninety-Nine Graphic Design Workshops

How we experience the world depends on the ways we attend to it. We live in a moment when our everyday experiences are distracted by a cynical attention economy, as such, there is an urgent need for a new kind of vigilant attention. The workshops in this book are practical challenges to the ways we think about the world we live in. Without relying on specialist equipment or subject-specific knowledge they give clear instructions about how to be mindful of the real world in unusual ways. From the informal and playful to the critical and insightful, each workshop finishes with a diverse list of recommended further reading that extends well beyond the designer’s traditional bookshelf. With contributors ranging from designers and painters to philosophers, dancers, poets, and documentary filmmakers, this eclectic mix of workshops changes how we think about the creative potential of our day-to-day lives.
