Abstract:

A review of contemporary graphic design reveals an expanded and highly complex arrangement of heterogeneous values and practice that evades convenient linear account. Reflecting upon observations gathered during a series of weekly student seminars, the author considers the limitations of conventional written histories to accommodate diversity, proposing that the process of mapping and the adoption of metaphor and allegory offer compelling tools to articulate complexity and aid our understanding of how history might have evolved into contemporary practice.
