Many graphic design books are currently available, but none that juxtaposes poetics and the visual language of graphic design so cohesively. Continuum challenges designers to leave their comfort zone to become "part poet" thereby having the potential to meld two communities into one.
We project as our society is more digitised, any product released to it has more potential to transform itself into digital noise rendering the product itself ineffective. Effectiveness is the key and printed material is hands down more effective. If spacetime is right, any work can permeate though the consciousness of society.
