Reviews
This book has an interesting collection of short articles about various ways graphic designers can try to work for social change. Finding a reason for being a graphic designer has become an issue for some, as the graphic design tools have become so ubiquitous. An interesting way of thinking... and really not for the beginner in design who still needs to refine their skills.
