'Ten reviews of contemporary design'
Design Reviewed (or DR for short) is a newish companion title from the team behind popular Disegno. Designed to be 'practical and portable' with a look akin to 'field guides, school jotters, and technical manuals as opposed to glossy magazines that tend to dominate the design field', this sweet and small-format publication is a treat for the fingertips.
Neatly put together with a single key colour—a pleasant indigo for this third issue—inside you'll find 10 essays by 10 different writers engaging with the topic of design in one way or another, fitting the following categories: Object, System, Media, Policy, Interface, Ecology, Space, Phenomena, Technology and Body. This issue covers questionable AI influences on olive oil production, a scheme for clothing repairs in France, stock photography alternatives for designers and cycling London's streets on Beeline's Velo 2.
