Book Subtitle | Collaborative Design Survey |
Book Description | Young, hungry, interdisciplinary designers and artists are teaming together in small packs to tackle personal and client projects, while bucking old world views of authorship and agency-based assembly line production. Armed with cheap gear and accessible programs, they can design anything for anyone, wearing their voice proudly on their sleeves. Authors/designers/faculty ras+e--themselves a small, interdisciplinary team--explore this collaborative landscape with an overt sense of humor, original illustrations, custom typography, dozens of Q+As with a diverse range of contemporary practitioners, and buckets of bright red ink (0, 100, 100, 0). Because design theory needs an imp, this collection of accessible essays and tightly curated Q+As refuses to bore. |
Editorial Review | "A very unusual and wild illustrated book about diverse ways of creative collaborations. With a lot of cases and interviews"

About the Author | Elizabeth Herrmann and Ryan Shelley are researchers, designers, writers and teachers. They lecture at Northeastern University in Boston and other universities across the US. They collaborate under the name ras+e.
Design collaborative ras+e formed in the
fires of the MICA Graphic Design MFA program [2011] and promptly declared dominion of the netherworld bordered by design, photography, printmaking, writing, music, video, and installation. After inventing a printmaking medium, drawing physical typefaces, and crafting theatrical comics, ras+e launched professionally with the business model, "Pay me to think." They now shoot their arrows across the country as artists, designers, writers,
and faculty. |
