A Line Which Forms a Volume is a critical reader and symposium of graphic design-led research that is edited, written, designed and published by participants of the MA Graphic Media Design (MAGMD) course at the London College of Communication (LCC). Each year a different cohort of students work on the title.

This eighth issue uses the notion of refraction—‘how knowledge and experiences can be fragmented and redirected’—to explore shifts in graphic design education and discourse, with insights from students and external practitioners alike. With a striking lime green cover, it adds red and blue to its palette inside, in reference to the splitting of light. 

The team have also penned their own ‘Refractive Manifesto’, which begins as a footer on the front cover and continues, line by line, at the bottom of each page throughout the issue.
