Review Quotes

"If you are interested in the use of graphic art and communications political struggles, don't miss the latest Signal"
--Rick Poyner, Design Observer

"Offering these graphics to generations far beyond their original audiences, this title is recommended for designers, activists, archivists, and scholars studying protest movements."
--Library Journal

"Signal reads like a magazine in that it consists of a number of smaller, independent articles but the loose continuity of subject holds it together as a book. As a series, this is going to be a great resource. Dunn and MacPhee are filling a void in terms of political graphics; there's a lot of material for them to cover and this is solid start."
--printeresting.org

"Signal is dotted with stunning photography that will certainly reel in many people who are into unusual art. Dunn and MacPhee do an impressive job of conveying not only what is new and relevant in political art, but also its history and its presence in the everyday."
--Political Media Review
