Javier Caps Lock

Caps Lock

Book

by Ruben Peter.

Ed. Untold Stories (2021)

This book by Ruben Peter is a deep exploration of the history and relations between graphic design and capitalism.

Capitalism could not exist without the coins, banknotes, documents, information graphics, interfaces, branding, and advertising made by graphic designers. Even strategies such as social design and speculative design are easily appropriated to serve economic growth. It seems design is locked in a cycle of exploitation and extraction, furthering inequality and environmental collapse.
