Now You See Me: An Introduction to 100 Years of Black Design

$35.00

Details

Charlene Prempeh’s book elevates Black people, specifically Black designers, who have been significantly overlooked. Prempeh’s work is divided into three sections: architecture, fashion, and graphic design. She further discusses how vital design is in the everyday setting. It is a visual concept that emphasizes its impact on people's perceptions and attitudes. Design, she argues, shapes and reflects economic, social, and political landscapes more than we realize. The physical copy of the book is a visual feast with bold colors, large images, full-bleed designs, and striking quotes. These elements are designed by Polymode, a bi-coastal, queer graphic design studio, adding an additional layer of creativity and inclusivity to Prempeh’s work.

Editors’ Note

Charlene Prempeh, is the founder of A Vibe Called Tech, a Black-owned creative agency. She previously studied marketing and worked with well–known media platforms, such as BBC, Frieze, and The Guardian. Later on, she founded her now agency, A Vibe Called Tech, that offers the world a burst of “creativity through an intersectional lens, believing in the richness of diverse cultures to inform strategic thinking across all audiences and seeking to deliver ambitious creative output that nourishes communities.”
