'a long-needed study of a unique editorial voice, mapping David Kings development from passionate young designer to authoritative archivist' - magCulture

An extensively illustrated monograph of the designer, collector an author, David King



The designer, collector and author David King was a unique figure with a body of work that spanned graphic design, journalism, photography and visual history. In this extensively illustrated monograph – the first detailed study of King – Rick Poynor explores King’s early achievements as a designer for The Sunday Times Magazine in the 1960s; his incisive activist graphics for the Anti-Apartheid Movement and the Anti-Nazi League; and his enormous and eclectic collection of materials from revolutionary Russia, which was acquired by Tate in 2016.

With iconic images such as King’s photographs of Muhammad Ali, his layouts of Don McCullin’s war photography in The Sunday Times Magazine, and his paperback cover designs for Penguin, this book traces King’s evolution from engaged visual journalist to a new kind of graphic author able to create compelling, image-led narratives of history.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND
Color: Dark Gray, Size: 72" wide, 66" Tall
I got this primarily for the acoustic wall feature but it does not block any sound whatsoever. It's just a mobile, overpriced wall. The only privacy it provides it blocking you from view but the same could be done with some cardboard for a fraction of the price. Not only is it not as described but they are requiring that I pay not only to ship it back for return but is also requiring that I pay for the shipping label. So I will be paying around $150 to get my $400 refund. Unacceptable. DO NOT BUY

These work great for home office.
Color: Gray, Size: 24" wide, 66" Tall
I was looking for something to block background for a home office, so I wouldn't have to use the distracting background filters. These work great and give my backdrop a more professional appearance. They are very easy to install. The box arrived with a few shipping holes, but packaging was sufficient to avoid any product damage.
