Find The Politics Of Design: A (Not So) Global Design Manual For Visual Communication Drafted By Ruben Pater Available As Volume

little book, came just as pictured/described, love it one of the few books on the political impact of design Aunque está todo en inglés se entiende bastante bien no me convence del todo lo pequeño que es y que algunas páginas tienen la información tan condensada que la explicación se queda escueta.
A pesar de esto lo recomiendo, This book is beautifully illustrated, as you'd hope for a book on design, The content reads as a series of entries, almost like encyclopedia entries, on different design principles, These are collected into chapters, There is a broad theme of the political nature of design, but nothing judgemental, It's of a "design can be political, here are some examples of biases baked into certain design styles, go figure", It's all a bit disconnected, which makes it a quite a good coffee table book as you can pick up anywhere and put it down whenever, Just don't expect a thorough look into any particular topic, Many designs that appear in today's society will circulate and encounter audiences of many different cultures and languages, With communication comes responsibility are designers aware of the meaning and impact of their work An image or symbol that is acceptable in one culture can be offensive or even harmful in the next.
A typeface or colour in a design might appear to be neutral, but its meaning is always culturally dependent, If designers learn to be aware of global cultural contexts, we can avoid stereotyping and help improve mutual understanding between people, Politics of Design is a collection of

visual examples from around the world, Using ideas from anthropology and sociology, it creates surprising and educational insight in contemporary visual communication, The examples relate to the daily practice of both online and offline visual communication: typography, images, colour, symbols, and information, Politics of Design shows the importance of visual literacy when communicating beyond borders and cultures, It explores the cultural meaning behind the symbols, maps, photography, typography, and colours that are used every day, It is a practical guide for design and communication professionals and students to create effective and responsible visual communication, .
