The History of Graphic Design in Iran

ibrahim kactioglu

Hello, I am researching the use of typography as a tool of revolutionary or antagonist approach. I have done much research on futurism and similar movements. My instructor has suggested me to analyse the Iranian Graphic Designers and their history.

Could you please recommend me any kind of written source regarding this issue? 

Also, other suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Back in 2008, Daniel Smith organized a poster show that paired the work of graphic designers in Seattle and Tehran. I believe the show was mounted in both cities.

The "About" section has curator statements from Daniel and his Iranian counterpart that you may find useful.
