Critical Design

The dissertation explores the current impact of critical design in the Czech Republic, in relation to the teaching of critical practice and critical thinking in the field of design. The theoretical part of the work offers definitions and the context of critical design and practice. Furthermore, the thesis examines the current awareness of critical practice in the field of graphic design at art schools, presents its methods, benefits and challenges, and also addresses the current role of graphic designers through questionnaire surveys and interviews with experts. 

 

Readers are provided with several current methods, modes of thinking, and new perspectives that can influence their design practice. All the insights from the work served as the basis for the creation of a publication aimed at filling the absence of book sources focusing on critical design and practice in the Czech book market. The publication is authoritatively designed and is intended for students, young designers, artists, as well as for the general public interested in the subject matter.
