Every issue of Eye on Design explores the unexpected intersections of design and the wider world. The sixth issue is themed around the elusive concept of idealism.
Guest-designed by Berlin-based Na Kim, this issue looks back at the origins of Modernism and the concept of a universal solution, before looking to the future to envision how education, labour, the environment, and art might benefit from optimistic ideas. Plus stories about the present and the designers who are actively working towards creating a better world.
In this issue:
- A trip to meet elusive cartoonist Seth and what might be his most remarkable project to date: his home
- The rise and fall of Vaporwave, the internet’s native aesthetic
- Pondering the meaning of a perfect work week
- And so much more including: Double die-cuts! Satire! An illustrated guide to women-run utopias! And Mindy Seu’s Cyberfeminist Index
