The Typography of Protest:Revolution and Rebellion in Protest Art

A timely, compelling, and affecting history of art being used as a form of rebellion and resistance.

Design has long been a means of self-expression, but it is also a fundamental vehicle for change in an increasingly visual world. The Typography of Protest is an incomplete illustrated history of how famous designers and determined individuals have used art to dismantle hatred and ignite change.

Exploring the work of 40 world-famous and lesser-known designers and typographers, this book covers topics including climate change, LGBTQ+ rights, racial injustice, feminism, human rights, and war, and features full colour reproductions of posters, banners, and printed ephemera.
A timely reminder of the importance of design as a means of collective expression and as a vehicle for change. | Theo Inglis is a design writer and graphic designer who specialises in post-war design.
