Dutch Resource Collaborative Exercises in Graphic Design, 2005

Information

“The ten participants from the Werkplaats Typografie asked an equal number of Dutch graphic designers to join forces with them during their work period in the Chaumont Graphic Arts Festival (F). Dutch Resource is a report of that collaboration: in ten different sections, each person’s working method becomes apparent and we are shown how the dialogue was put into effect. The book gives an accurate picture of the uncompromising practice of today’s graphic designer, a specialist and jack-of-all-trades in one, who is not only meant to be a good designer but often works as a writer, researcher, editor, curator, critic and photographer as well.”
