Introducing: Culture Identities is a collection of outstanding design work for international cultural institutions. It features poster campaigns, publications, and corporate design--much of which is designed to function across various media platforms. Extensive features introduce relevant topics and lend insight from two key perspectives: designers and clients. The book gives voice to designers such as Bureau Mirko Borsche and studio 2x4, who are especially active in the cultural field. MoMA, the Barbican, Van Abbemuseum, and documenta are among the clients represented.
