Packed with hundreds of entries exploring the broad and far-reaching fringes of graphic design, this book presents an authoritative perspective from Berlin's A―Z design center.

This book follows the history, current state, and future of alternative graphic design as shaped by an international, cross-disciplinary design community and the creative and collaborative work taking place at A―Z Presents, a Berlin venue dedicated to experimental graphic design. Structured as an "index for alternative graphic design," it provides a thorough overview of the many projects carried out over the past six years by a large number of graphic designers and visual artists of varied backgrounds, ages, and career stages. The first section, "A―Z," documents every activity and event launched by A―Z, with contributions from designers such as Na Kim, Niklaus Troxler, and the Rodina, along with more than 100 other entries. The second section, "―?," brings together 32 international designers, among them April Greiman, Richard Niessen, and Loraine Furter, to imagine where graphic design is headed next.
