The Politics of Design shows the importance of visual literacy when communicating across borders and cultures. It explores the cultural meaning behind symbols, maps, photography, typography, and colors. It is a practical guide for design and communication professionals and students to create more effective and responsible visual communication.
We all know the power of propaganda and how it’s always strictly related to a memory of a specific symbol, typography and colour. It has a purpose and normally remains a classic design to be parodied years later by a new generation of designers. But visual literacy is still a strong weapon nowadays, it’s all about context. This book can be used as a manual filled with realities alerts a designer should be aware so that he doesn’t end up in misconceptions of cultural differences and actually make this asymmetries work in his favour. It will result in a stronger, fundamental response to the inevitability of being partial when dealing with images in the midst of globalization. Misinformation and the terrible consequences it may cause, may it be on purpose or not, is always a piece of vital information away. This is the right book to fill that void, to build bridges between different perspectives on the meaning behind some characters, images and even the order and position they are presented in.

Be critical
评分虽然流于表面，但写得很accessible。适合给学生入门建立awareness。飞了几十个小时后PVG-CTU机上看完。
评分学校的学期读物之一果然很符合LCC极左的为了批判而批判的校风。。。在伦敦无网地铁上的读物之一真的就当作娱乐休闲读读就好。。。舍去书中的错别字，错误编排（光这一点就不够critical了吧）以外，好几篇文章强行的以白左的姿态批判资本主义体制真的太强行了。。。比如大小写字母的那一篇，论据和论点的联系有点扯哈。
评分看完真的喜欢Ruben 也感慨要当这样的activist需要多么privileged
评分关于map design那部分正好有用。16.07.18.参加作者ruben在design museum举办的mapping工作坊，正好联结在做的城市中的花园研究，做了chelsea区域Privileged garden的mappIng:)
