Official journal of the Design Studies Forum

This is the age of design. Even as recognition of its social, economic and cultural force grows, however, the design field's largely unseen 'edges' are increasingly becoming its driving forces.
Design and Culture examines these developments, looking for rigorous and innovative critical frameworks to explore 'design' as a cultural phenomenon today. As a forum for critique, the journal features a substantial reviews section in each issue. Moreover, in-depth essays analyze contemporary design, as well as its discourse and representations. Covering a field that is increasingly interdisciplinary, Design and Culture probes design's relation to other academic disciplines, including marketing, management, cultural studies, anthropology, material culture, geography, visual culture and political economy.
Peer-reviewed, full-color and handsomely designed throughout, Design and Culture is the official journal of the Design Studies Forum.

Design and Culture promises to open up disciplinary boundaries and explore the links between creative practices. Such a venture is important to sustain the critical edge of design, lest it lapse into mere marketing. It should be read with great expectations. Kevin Murray, craft writer, Australia

This journal is both welcome and timely - it will facilitate the emerging collaborations between theorists in design and the sociology of consumption. Jack Ingram, Birmingham City University, UK
