An accessible and richly illustrated exploration of how art and
design have driven major social and political change in the 21st
century. Visual Impact highlights the extraordinary power of art
and graphic design to effect social and political change. Richly
illustrated with over 400 images, this is a visual guide to the
most influential and highly politicised imagery of the digital age.
Organised thematically by global issues and events, Visual Impact's
generously illustrated spreads, clearly present and explain the

Spring, the London Riots), social activism (marriage equality), and
environmental crises (Hurricane Katrina), as well as the recent Je
Suis Charlie protests. Showcasing over 200 artists and designers,
ranging from internationally renowned names such as Ai Wei Wei and

Twitter and Facebook, Visual Impact features exciting graphics from
emerging economies such as Brazil, Russia and China, and recent
work created in response to the Arab Spring. Complements Phaidon
titles Graphic Agitation and Graphic Agitation 2 by providing
insight to the art and design shaping today's global political
