The Designers Republic™ is the design group that changed design.
But there’s never been a book that tells its story - until now.
Led by founder and born rebel, Ian Anderson, The Designers
Republic™ has shaped graphic communication over the past thirty
years through rule-defying music work, provocative self-initiated
projects and a fierce commitment to conceptual thinking over style.
Now, for the first time in book form, Anderson explores the
studio’s output, and its influence on a generation of graphic
designers. AZTDR™ spans over three decades of work – from the
studio’s earliest designs for the FON label in the mid-1980s and
sleeves for Age of Chance, Chakk and Cabaret Voltaire, right up to
its recent projects for The Cinematic Orchestra, Led Bib and the
Gulbenkian Foundation. Alongside classic self-initiated TDR™
projects, the 512-page book features an A to Z of everything from
campaigns for Evolution Print, Coca-Cola and Nike, through to the
studio’s celebrated designs for video games such as Wipeout and
Formula Fusion. TDR™’s special relationship with print is
explored through its celebrated contributions to IDEA and Emigre
magazines and its 3D>2D book, alongside its work for Manchester
School of Art, Gatecrasher, NY Sushi and the studio’s array of
music clients. Here, TDR™’s work with Autechre is examined via
ten key releases, while the studio’s involvement with Pop Will
Eat Itself focuses on some twenty-eight different singles and
albums. There are also expansive sections devoted to TDR™’s
designs for Aphex Twin, Moloko, Sun Electric and The Orb, alongside
sleeve designs for R&S Records, New Atlantis, a range of
Berlin-based labels and, of course, Warp Records.
