Combining case studies with critical essays, Graphic Design Is (…) Not Innocent asks: who is graphic design for? Who does it exclude, in its seemingly neutral labor? What social and political effects does it bring about? And what is the future of a politically responsible graphic design? The contributors interrogate the discipline’s ingrained approaches and implicit values to demonstrate its profound implication in social processes.
