520 1 |a "In Designing Pornotopia, Rick Poynor explores the past decade of advertising and design and the invasion of sexual imagery into everyday life." "Following the discussion of Poynor's previous anthology, Obey the Giant, Designing Pornotopia covers a wide area of subjects, from magazines, billboard advertising, branding, illustration, photography, tattoos, and music graphics to architecture, and includes interviews with architect Rem Koolhaas and maverick American graphic designer and performance artist Elliott Earls. Along the way Poynor reassesses the early work of Peter Saville and tracks the seemingly unstoppable rise of Stefan Sagmeister, among other graphic designers. Poynor's concise, riveting prose constantly challenges the reader with strong and through-provoking arguments. In its timeliness and poignancy, this is truly an anthology that is indispensable on the bookshelf of anyone interested in visual culture and its effects on our daily lives."--BOOK JACKET.
