  1. In general, the local dimension of our national graphic design history remains largely unknown. In this article (in Turkish), I documented the master-apprentice transmission of commercial artists in Adapazarı, beginning with horsecart painter Numan Balıca in 1940s. I explored how this informal education system evolved from traditional carriage painting to contemporary outdoor advertising, fundamentally shaping the region's visual memory.

  2. Before the era of computer graphics, the visual identity of cities was crafted by sign painters whose handmade signs are now largely anonymous. In this article (in Turkish), I trace the forgotten vernacular heritage of Bursa by documenting the lives and works of key sign painters through archives and interviews with their families, securing their place in our national graphic design history.

    In 1987, the
    Silence = Death poster was created by a New York-based group of artists to protest the U.S. government's inaction on the AIDS epidemic, which they saw as a result of government and societal silence.

  19. After 5.5 and a half years of work, tomorrow we'll finally see and hold the sum of countless conversations, hours of looking / reading / writing, days of designing, and years of working with and redefining purpose. It will be thrilling and a fair amount terrifying to finally page through Meggs' History of Graphic Design, 7ed. Looking forward to introducing you all to what we've made soon. #mhogd7ed #graphicdesign #graphicdesignhistory #designhistory #meggs

  21. I really want a copy of this: Octavo Redux 1:1 from Unit Editions
    Hamish Muir's and Mark Holt's amazing Octavo magazine. It was already legendary when studying back in the early 90s. I saw Hamish talking about the 'mac style' and how prior to DTP the layering effect was colored blocks of type on glass, hung and photographed. I also remember something about one issue being an 8 color job, but all variants of black. #graphicDesign #GraphicDesignHistory

  28. Meet Mobilizing. "In a visual culture, graphic design is an influential social medium. Throughout history, and especially in times of conflict, graphic designers have created posters, newspapers, and other graphics to recruit, boost morale, protest ideologies, or mobilize support...Using symbols, narrative images, bold typography, and other techniques, designers have changed the minds of audiences with all types of persuasive media."

  30. We would like to introduce you to the 7th ed. of Meggs' History of Graphic Design.

    Meet Exalting. We have restructured the book with chapters demonstrating motivations (themes) of why we create graphic design. Many people and movements now occupy multiple chapters reflecting their complexity. We invite readers to question the ways these works have been categorized and consider what alternative themes they might represent.
