**About Mute Magazine: Graphic Design**
Introduction by Adrian Shaughnessy

"This is a visually and journalistically astringent take on the birth of 
the internet, and a reminder of the rich visual innovation of 
independent magazines." -Eye

In the early 1990s, long before the internet became an integral part of 
life, a handful of pioneering magazines took it upon themselves to 
imagine the web into existence. Using fiction, interviews, speculative 
theory and experimental graphic design, London-based /Mute/ wielded an 
influence vastly disproportionate to its size.

The product of a period of intense creative ferment, /Mute/ engaged 
boldly with allcomers. The resulting collection of magazines defines an 
era, telling the fascinating tale of one publisher's relationship with 
the 'digital revolution' - the nineties' very own Big Bang. This book 
presents a full overview of /Mute/ over a decade, showing its entire 
output -- logos, covers and spreads.

Published by eight books. 144 pages with 250 colour illustrations. 
Normally £19.99, free with subscription!

"I expected a lot from this book and it delivers both as a visual record 
of some great designs and as a close-up history of a singular project 
observed by the people who were there at the time. Highly recommended." 
-Magculture.com

"This must surely be the show's favourite coffee table book. Tracing the 
roots and evolving design of cult magazine Mute, it tells you everything 
you need to know about current trends in graphic design." -BBC Radio 6, 
George Lamb show, Alex Hemminsley //

Quarterly, critical and cheap, Mute is a concrete jumble of all that's
still grunting in the inter-finessing hyper-barrios of culture, politics
and technology 2.0. As capitalism yawns towards apocalypse we match it
issue by issue with a sustained critique of everything existing, from eco prole-bashing and shanty chic to academic aut-onanist marxistry.
