Résumé:
This book is an attempt to tell a story from the closest point of a source. Before it is supposed to be a gossip. Before the juice is added and still is a bit boring and stiff. When looking up at reliable sources like Wikipedia and Google, the word gossip: ''Originates from God-sib, he Godparent of one's child, referring to a relationship of close friendship'' and it is also: '' An event between loose mouthed assholes, that happens as soon as you get into high-school, and follows you all the way to your death bed. It never ends.'' It is also: '' In it's form one of the oldest and most common means of spreading and sharing facts, with a reputation of errors and other variations'' This we of course found highly interesting so we did this book based on that, about the variations of a story when it comes from the same source. To try it out we asked people from the graphics design department in the Rietveld Academy, to re-tell us a story we are supposed to know better than others.

What does it mean to do something for free versus asking a lot? How much can we ask? Graphic design does not have any intrinsic value. Money is important, but also not an openly discussed topic. Even though guidelines for charging exist, we often have to negotiate our prices. The texts in this book are based on interviews made in 2006/2007 with freelance graphic(...)

Résumé:
What does it mean to do something for free versus asking a lot? How much can we ask? Graphic design does not have any intrinsic value. Money is important, but also not an openly discussed topic. Even though guidelines for charging exist, we often have to negotiate our prices. The texts in this book are based on interviews made in 2006/2007 with freelance graphic designers. They range from students and beginners to designers with many years of professional experience, from a one-man ste-up tp a bigger studio with employees. Inside you'll find a wild, wide range of prices, different ways of calculating a price, problems, strategies, principles, numbers and a lot of zeros.

Résumé:
In the twenty-first century, commerce and culture are ever more closely entwined. This new collection of essays by design critic Rick Poynor takes a searching look at visual culture to discover the reality beneath the ultra-seductive surfaces. Poynor explores the thinking behind the emerging resistance to commercial rhetoric among designers, and offers critical insights into the changing dialogue between advertising and design. Other essays address the topics of visual journalism; brands as religion; the new solipsism; graphic memes; the pleasures of imperfect design; and the poverty of “cool”. Around the world, many are now waking up to the dominance of huge corporations – invariably expressed by visual means. This pointed and provocative counterblast arrives at a moment when critical responses are vital if this mono-culture is to be challenged. It offers inspirational evidence of alternative ways of engaging with design, and it will appeal to any reader with a questioning interest in design, advertising, cultural studies, media studies, and the visual arts.

Résumé:
In "Chasing the perfect" writer/designer Natalia Ilyin delivers her observations on design and the world it has molded. According to Ilyin, "Modern design is based on deeply idealist notions, and its inherent perfectionism has dovetailed beautifully with our commodity-based economy's need to keep people itching so that they will buy things and keep the society chugging along. I began "Chasing the perfect" because I started to become aware of this collusion, this silent pressure that a language of design based in perfectionism had brought to bear on how I developed as a person." "Chasing the perfect" is especially relevant in our times as interest in graphic, industrial, and architectural design moves more and more into mainstream culture. Each of the 10 chapters features Ilyin’s accessible and often hilarious writing, which is highlighted with a broad range of images-some quite unexpected-from the designed world around us.
