One and Many Mirrors assembles an international chorus of educators and practitioners to interrogate the assumptions, hierarchies, and inherited conventions that continue to shape how graphic design is taught and reproduced.
About This Book
Graphic design education rarely examines itself with the same criticality it applies to its outputs. One and Many Mirrors changes that. Edited by designer-educators Brad Haylock and Luke Wood, this collection gathers new and recent writing from across the globe to map the contested terrain of contemporary graphic design education — how the discipline is imagined, institutionalised, and passed on. It is neither a handbook nor a manifesto, but something more useful: a multivocal survey of where the field stands and where it might go. Essential reading for educators, students, and practitioners invested in the intellectual foundations of design pedagogy.
