**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."

"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.
