Informative, provocative, touching, and entertaining, this books essays are written with the insight of a designer, the hunger for knowledge of a scholar, and the sophistication of a seasoned social commentator. The authors range of topics runs the gamut from magazine design, resort architecture, and consumerism to typography and exhibit design, conveyed in witty and insightful text that will appeal to anyone who takes an interest in popular culture and the design of places, spaces, and products. Vronique Vienne, a former exhibit designer and magazine art director who now writes about design and cultural trends for many publications, lives in Brooklyn, New York.
