  • The critical turn: Education of a design writer

Triggs, Teal, 2020, Book Section, The critical turn: Education of a design writer In: Wood, Luke and Haylock, Brad, (eds.) One and Many Mirrors: Perspectives on Graphic Design Education. Occassional Papers, London, UK, pp. 42-61. ISBN 978-0995473010

Abstract or Description:

In the mid-1990s, in the early days of the internet, graphic designers lamented the ‘end of print’. However, the first two decades of the twenty-first century have seen an explosion of activity from graphic designers discovering their own agency to publish — often independently and, significantly, in print. A logical parallel development has been a growing interest amongst graphic designers to research and write about their own discipline. Drawing upon her experience as a design writer and educator, Teal Triggs reflects here upon her own influences, upon recent developments in critical writing in design, and upon what a ‘critical turn’ might mean for graphic design education.
