Maud Lavin approaches design from the broader field of visual culture criticism, asking challenging questions about about who really has a voice in the culture and what unseen influences affect the look of things designers produce. Lavin shows how design fits into larger questions of power, democracy, and communication.

But since designers cannot clean up messy reality, Lavin shows, they often end up simply veiling it. |
