(From the publisher) 'We Interrupt the Programme is a collaborative project spanning the last eight years. To date this has been undertaken in a variety of forms and in a number of different locations, defined in large part by the process of collaboration. The project in all its forms aims to explore our collective understanding of the processes and responsibilities within the workings of graphic design, it’s relationship to communication and language, and the intention of the maker or designer. It is the investigation not only of the production of messages but the way in which it is possible to see graphic design as a form of social commentary. In this sense it could be argued that design is a mirror of culture, that it reflects the culture it stems from. The writer and designer Michael Worthington has stated that graphic design refracts culture and that design itself is altered by this process of refraction.1What is certain is that design is an activity involved in the business of opinion making, whether this be through persuasion or the dissemination of information. As Ann C.Tyler has said “The goal of visual communication is to persuade an audience to adopt a new belief.'
