Independent, multivoiced, wicked, political, spiritual, sexual, achingly prosaic, and above all, serious. Plus funny. Which was exactly the point: to address the needs of the world - all parts of the globe - and wrap it up in one big blanket called Humanity. With Colors, Tibor Kalman shook out the contents of his brain and over the course of 6 years and 13 bilingual issues, he took on such topics as: food (and hunger), that finetuned organism called ecology, recreation, religion, AIDS, shopping, racism, royalty and assorted demi-gods, sports, travel, even heaven. For Kalman, the self-described "perverse optimist," Colors was about casting a net over all of humanity, warts and all. Its irreverence, its ability to raise hackles and continually question the status quo was not about knocking down people, but about raising the bar on tolerance and a humane way of living. It was, as he once said, about using graphic design as a medium "for telling the truth."

Travel Sickness is a singular book project from Sheffield in theEnglish midlands which takes us on a surreal journey into the 21stcentury. Drawing inspiration from the messiness, violence andbeauty of the world around them together with the writings ofStephen Jones, DED have unfurled their vision and planted somethingnew. Innovatively, the book?s design is a literal and emotionalreaction to the text. The illustrations convey the fragmentedthoughts of Jack as he takes an unwanted and disturbing journey into his own sense of loss. Stephen Jones? bizarre narrativedescribes how absurd life can be in the new millennium. He usesconsumer goods, ads, themes and McPlaces as effective metaphors ofthe everyday. DED Ass. transfers these into breathtaking graphicillustrations. The result is an elegant and experimentalcombination of graphics and text, full of bittersweet irony andhumour. In 1991, Nic and Jon Daughtry founded DED Associates inSheffield. DED`s commitment has seen the company shoot into everycorner of the cr
