“Who Knew” Magazine: Illustrating Difficult Ideas
August 22nd, 2007 by Jerome Dahdah
Who Knew is a design magazine taking on “difficult content” – ideas and issues that are commonly misunderstood and censored. Every 3 months, students graphically communicate texts considered complex, confusing and/or controversial – things that make us go, “Who knew?”. Who Knew studies the interpretive power of graphics and typography in the access, efficiency and transparency of information.
A few example questions that are discussed:
- Should work be abolished?
- Is your doctor killing you?
- Can a designer do good?
- Are you beautiful enough to survive?
All-in-all a great read for us “intellectual designers”. ;)

Hi Rob, I’ve heard about that book a number of times now. Sounds like I should have a look. Thanks for your input!
