Dot Dot Dot ― Issue 7 Winter 2003

Dot Dot Dot is not your father's design magazine -- a high-gloss tombstone with decontextualized, overproduced work by the "usual suspects." Instead, what you'll find is a groundbreaking journal that fills a longstanding gap in graphic arts publishing: a venue for creative, interdisciplinary journalism on subjects that affect the way we think about and make design. We're proud to add it to our growing catalog of books and journals.
For each issue, Dot Dot Dot invites a multidiscipllinary group of contributors to both write and design pieces about the past, present, and future of visual culture. Smart, passionate, and imaginatively designed, Dot Dot Dot is for graphic designers and anyone interested in the creative practice of the visual arts.
Issue 7 includes "The Problem with Posters" by Rob Giampietro, "Mexico 1968/Rotterdam 2003" by Peter Bilak, "'Landy's (Failed) Gesture' and the General Intellect" by J.J. King, "The Every Day Story of Flesh-Eating, Blood-Sucking Freaks" by Steve Rushton (with John Russell), "Eno and the Long Now" by Michael Bracewell (with Brian Eno and Lucy McKenzie), and "Writing on Money" by Paul Elliman, among others.

Peter Bilak studied in England, the USA, and France, ending up in the Netherlands. He works in the field of editorial, graphic, and type design, and teaches part time at the Royal Academy in The Hague, and at the Art Academy in Arnhem.

Stuart Bailey studied graphic design in Reading, UK, and Werkplaats Typografie, Arnhem, NL. He currently leads a double life between the UK and the Netherlands, teaching at the Rietveld Akademie and working as a freelance designer.
