Looking Closer 5



There would be no serious design without serious design criticism, once Massimo Vignelli challenges us, and until now it remains unfulfilled. Looking Closer has been published for four volumes, and this latest one a compilation of design criticism from 2001-2005 is bringing the graphic design issues into the next level of seriousness of criticism.
There are six section which give annotation to graphic design as six topics. Graphic design as a system, as culture, as fashion, as politics, as passion, and as idea.
Looking closer was a room for intellectual battle of graphic design issues that brought divergent thinking into one purpose: serious graphic design reflection on society and culture where they belongs.
