With the advent of early desktop publishing on the Apple Macintosh, graphic designers of the 1990s pushed into new expressive territories—experimenting, struggling, and searching for an unfamiliar visual language shaped by emerging digital tools.
This volume, published in 2000 as a special extra issue of IDEA, spotlights the work of Jonathan Barnbrook, David Carson, Cyan, Delta, Mevis en van Deursen, The Designers Republic, Tomato, Why Not Associates, as well as influential Japanese designers who contributed to this pioneering digital moment.
Capturing a period in which digital technology fundamentally transformed the design process, the book offers a systematic overview of the era’s defining studios and their practice. Today, it stands as a scarce and indispensable document of the early digital design avant-garde.
