Existing in the context of the 2008 financial and subsequent political crisis, both this thesis and my work are situated in an expanded field of graphic design. This research examines the emergence of the terms critical design and critical practice, and aims to develop methods that use criticism during the design process from a practitioner’s perspective. Central aims of this research are to address a gap in design discourse in relation to this terminology and impact designers operating under the banner of such terms, as well as challenging practitioners to develop a more critical design practice. The central argument of this thesis is that in order to develop a critical practice, a designer must approach design as criticism.

Finally, I came to issue #69, a summary of the whole Emigre story. I found myself confronted with testifies from Rudy VanderLans concerning the attitude, a graphic designer should have, and what it needs to be a designer, such as enthusi- asm and entrepreneurialism but also a little bit of luck. It became clear why Emigre was successfull almost two decades. As a student I thought these statements are really worth sharing and therefo- re I centered my attention in this folder on Rudy VanderLans quotations. 8 Ex plo ra tion Be tired of the monotony of traditional typography E Elments of the Emigre cover issue # 14, 1985 11 10Exploration „ The first issue was put Early explorers of new technology together in 1984 in an We wanted to explore a more 11.5″ by 17″ format by VanderLans and two other Dutch immigrants, expressive, individualized Marc and Menno.

    Inflection Point Emigre Published in 1989, Emigre magazine’s eleventh issue, Ambition/Fear: Graphic Designers and the Macintosh Computer, contains vivid artifacts of a discipline’s first encounter with digital tools. From the aesthetics of bitmaps to the expressive interventions made possible by new access to typesetting controls, not to mention the self- publishing venture of the magazine itself, this issue combines modernist and postmodern agendas in a model construction of text-based community. Looking closely at Emigre #11, and more passingly at later issues, this article analyses the technical, critical, and cultural production that would shape Emigre as a medium for typographic demonstration and discussion among peers.
