The Designer as Author: Voices and Visions poster also acted as an exhibition catalog with an essay by Steven McCarthy on one side (quoted in Rick Poynor’s No More Rules: Graphic Design and Postmodernism), and an essay by Cristina de Almeida on the other. Participating projects and designers included Michael Bierut’s ReThinking Design publications created for Mohawk Papers, Emigre magazine, books researched, written and designed by J. Abbott Miller and Ellen Lupton, a series of social issue posters by Jager DiPaola Kemp, artist’s books by Johanna Drucker, Speak magazine as art directed by Martin Venezky, and Stephen Farrell’s large scale experimental visual narratives were some of the exemplary pieces in the exhibition.
