The Designers Republic is the design team that changed design. For the first time, a book is published that tells its story. Guided by founder and rebel Ian Anderson, the Designers Republic has shaped graphic communication over the last thirty years through musical works that break rules, provocative self-promotional projects, and a fierce commitment to conceptual thinking over style. AZTDR covers over three decades of work – from the studio's early designs for the FON label in the mid-1980s to recent projects for The Cinematic Orchestra, Led Bib, and the Gulbenkian Foundation. Through classic self-promotional works, this 512-page book contains an A to Z of everything from campaigns for Evolution Print, Coca-Cola, and Nike, to the celebrated studio designs for video games like Wipeout and Formula Fusion. It explores TDR's relationship with print through celebrated contributions to the magazines IDEA and Emigre and the book 3D>2D, as well as for the Manchester School of Art, Gatecrasher, NY Sushi, and the studio's variety of music clients. TDR's work with Autechre is examined through ten key releases, while the studio's involvement with Pop Will Eat Itself focuses on about twenty-eight different singles and albums. There are also extensive sections dedicated to TDR's designs for Aphex Twin, Moloko, Sun Electric, and The Orb, as well as cover designs for R&S Records, New Atlantis, a range of German record labels, and of course, Warp Records.
