Don't sleep - Oliver Munday

Whip-smart, and with a ripped-from-the-headlines attitude, this book is a call to arms, demonstrating the unique ability of graphic design to speak truth to power.

Part personal history, part design philosophy, and part advocacy,
this
volume
showcases
the
arresting
work
of
Oliver
Munday.
Employing
humor
and
menace
in
equal
measure,
Munday
wields
graphic
design
as
a
tool
of
empowerment,
activism,
and
resistance.
Drawing
from
the
history
and
utility
of
twentieth- century agitprop, from Russian Constructivism to the Black
Panthers,
Munday
updates
a
timeless
medium
for
the
social
media
age
with
his
stark
and
often
unsettling imagery.

Drawing
on
the
madness
of
the
24-hour
news
cycle,
Munday's
work
has
been
featured
on
the
op-ed
pages
of
the
New
York
Times,
the
New
Yorker,
Time
Magazine, and the Atlantic. Munday exploits a digital platform to poke fun at the 2016 presidential election, renounces warfare in the age of drones, and examines the tragic legacies of Trayvon Martin and Eric Garner, offering
a
perspective
that
must
not
be
overlooked.
His
design,
reflecting
influences
from
Paul
Rand
to
Globe
Poster,
champions
a
think
more,
design
less
philosophy with the ultimate goal to provoke contem-plation and even meaningful action.
