JONATHAN BARNBROOK
FREEEEEE designer, become my favorite, type face designer, author,polite and kind.. His aim is to reach all people in the world, by writing books, short films and not working only for companies..He likes to be free, he likes to be different, besides being designer he works to inform people by his works!!

Typical BARNBROOK!!! He ignores the editorial rules and uses a big jonathan font collection and CMYK colours!!!!


He designed the latest issue of Adbusters..


This is an example from Adbusters inner page..

DESIGN AUTHORSHIP
Design author is a collective term given to the work of a designer.. Designers write books to reflect their personal interests and researches. They make some collections and these collections feed their work. To share their collection they write books..

design-author is a designer who is:

the starter of a project, idea or concept, 
plus:

the creator of content, maker of texts, information, meanings, one who enjoys an active role in content creation, as a maker, contributor or editor of content, plus:

 the designer, the maker of the final form;
plus:

publishes, exhibits or distributes
the form in public


In my opinion:
designer can be an author at the same time to share his/her works, researches etc. Graphic design needs "design authorship" otherwise design will only exist as a service industry. Design authorship is a necessity for the future evolution of design. For designer to make authorship, the designer must act like an author.
