Design After Dark

"With high energy and considerable inventiveness, a new generation of British artists is changing the look of modern design. Working in every area from graphic arts to skateboard design, they are creative, exuberant, and influential. Here are hundreds of examples of fresh design--posters, record sleeves, t-shirts, flyers and nightclub decor--gathered together for the first time. Based upon interviews with many of the desingers and entrepeneurs, Cynthia Rose's lively text offers an insider's guide to the new British graphics, supplemented by portfolios from eleven designers. Some work alone, others in groups or collectives, but all can now count banks, department stores and museums as clients, as well as the pirate radio stations and striving record companies with whom they began their careers."--Back cover.
