It would be hard to argue that graphic design isn’t exciting, and prolific. Graphic design is presently one of the largest professions within the design industry and its output is integrated into most every part of our day-to-day lives.
Co-organized by the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis and the Cooper Hewitt, National Design Museum here in New York, Graphic Design: Now in Production presents the concepts and creative practices as they’ve been evolving through the first part of the 21st century. Traveling around American since its debut at the Walker Art Center in October 2011, the exhibition will be making its final stop at the RISD Museum in Providence, Rhode Island.
Focussed around eight themes—Posters, Magazines, Books, Information Design, Branding, Typography, Storefront, and Film and Television Titles—the exhibition illustrates the incredibly broad reach that graphic design has within our present day, 21st century lives, as well as highlighting the shifting and expanding role of the designer into becoming a producer, be it as an author, publisher, entrepreneur, and project instigator.
This is your last chance to see this outstanding collection of examples of contemporary graphic design from around the globe, so if you can, be sure to stop in to the RISD Museum between March 28th and August 3rd, 2014.
