Duncombe and I did an interview as the Center for Artistic Activism for new book: CO-LAB: Collaborative Design Survey.

A direct link to our interview is at co-lab.us/duncombe-lambert/ and you can buy the book as well – CO-LAB: Collaborative Design Survey.

Young, hungry, interdisciplinary designers and artists are teaming together in small packs to tackle personal and client projects, while bucking old world views of authorship and agency-based assembly line production. Armed with cheap gear and accessible programs, they can design anything for anyone, wearing their voice proudly on their sleeves. Authors/designers/faculty ras+e–themselves a small, interdisciplinary team–explore this collaborative landscape with an overt sense of humor, original illustrations, custom typography, dozens of Q+As with a diverse range of contemporary practitioners, and buckets of bright red ink (0, 100, 100, 0). Because design theory needs an imp, this collection of accessible essays and tightly curated Q+As refuses to bore.
