I'm very excited to announce that my new book, Graphic Designers After Graphic Design, is now available for preorder and will be out on September 29th from @papress!

This book, in many ways, is the result of thinking about what graphic design is today. In a moment where we keep hearing about the death of graphic design, this book is an optimistic collection of profiles, interviews, and case studies about emerging designers from around the world who are redefining what it means to be a graphic designer. It feels like both an expansion and focusing of what I've been doing on Scratching the Surface for the last decade.

Organized around publishing, research, activism, performance, and art, it features profiles of @rashadakkak, @paimnina, @tiger.dingsun, @openpractice_, @modescriticism, @copythisbook, @today.inah, @natpyper, @sarah.ssssssss, @m0henjodaro, @e__sutherland; interviews with @saucyunicorn, @silvio.lorusso, @marks_n_angles, @mindyseu, @roombaghost; and work by @malice.studio, @knoth.renner, @benedetta.crippa, @therodina, and @nananananananakim; and a foreword by @ellenlupton!

Check the link in my bio for more information and to preorder! You'll hear more about it soon.

For @archpaper, I wrote a review of recent publications and exhibitions that explore the intersection of design and pedagogy, including @noahsimblist's book Living to Learn (out now from @inventorypress) and After School, the recent show and publication from @carnegiemuseumofart curated by @theo_issaias and @velazquezalyssa. Special shoutouts to a handful of other publications are referenced throughout!

While it's rooted in a review, I think of this as a larger essay about why architects and designers have been so interested in redesigning education. These recent projects point to some answers.

Read the essay at the link in bio or in the latest print issue of The Architect's Newspaper!

I was invited by @readymag to contribute an essay to Unlearned, their new package of stories about what we have to unlearn from design school. I wrote about how I had to unlearn graphic design itself.

Link to my essay is in the bio, but you should also read the others by folks like Shantell Martin, Stefan Sagmeister, Sarah Boris, and more.

Sharing most of my photography over at jarrettfuller.photo these days but it's still fun to post a photo on IG every now and then.

Easter morning with Etel Adnan. The catalogue for the poet and painter's 2024 show at the King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture in Dhahran arrived this week and I finally got to spend some time with it. Adnan's paintings have long been an influence on my own painting practice and this small collection of high res photographs show the range of her color and texture. #jarrettslibrary

In researching for my conversation with Giovanna Borasi of the @canadiancentreforarchitecture for this week's @surfacepodcast, I came across this document from the CCA's collection. It's an index card, written by Gordon Matta-Clark, that reads: "Here is what we have to offer you in its most elaborate form—confusion guided by a clear sense of purpose."

Matta-Clark's architectural interventions have long been an influence on me and he's an artist I find myself returning to often. (First image is of the card from the CCA, the others are some favorite Matta-Clark works). I'm keeping this as my new personal motto: confusion guided by a clear sense of purpose.

(My conversation with Giovanna opens with this card and what this idea means to her and the CCA too.)

🎨✨ Great conversations at the AIGA Designers Panel: The Honest Studio – Design Talks, where designers shared honest insights about their career journeys, challenges, and creative growth.

We were especially excited to see our professor Jarrett Fuller on the panel, sharing insights on design identity, systems thinking, and the importance of questioning the “why” behind every project. He reflected on how growing up listening to punk rock shaped his rebellious mindset toward design , encouraging designers to challenge assumptions and think about the bigger systems their work exists within. 🎧⚡
