Eye on Design magazine - Issue #06 “Utopias”

Regular price $19.00 Sale

In Eye on Design #06, the “Utopias” issue, we explore the elusive concept of idealism in its many forms. Over the course of 160 pages, we look back at the origins of Modernism and the concept of a universal solution; and we look to the future to envision how education, labor, the environment, and art might benefit from big, optimistic, and critical ideas. In between, we tell stories about the present and the designers who are actively working toward creating a better world.

Inside the issue:

A visit to reclusive cartoonist Seth and what might be his most remarkable project to date: his home
The rise and fall of Vaporwave, the internet’s native aesthetic
Tips on how to be a "responsible" designer during the climate change era
An in-depth conversation with publishing collective One of My Kind
A detailed account of Cooper Union's tuition fight and how it bred a generation of student activists
And so much more including: double die-cuts, satire, Mindy Seu’s Cyberfeminist Index, and an illustrated guide to women-run utopias

Guest designed by Na Kim, a graphic designer based in Berlin.

Where’s my magazine?
Check the tracking link in the confirmation email you received.

My tracking link says my magazine has already arrived, but it’s not here.
Check with your local post office. This sounds like a crazy pain in the ass (we get it), but most “missing” orders are recovered this way. The postal service is run by real humans who make mistakes. We’re sorry if your order is one of them.

My magazine is taking forever to arrive.
If your tracking link shows that your order is stuck in transit out, let us know eodmag@aiga.org.

If you’re an international buyer with shipping drama, please note that every country has its own slew of customs requirements that can slow things down, and all non-U.S. orders can take up to one month in transit. We advise checking with your local post first to see what’s up.
