(From the publisher) 'Idioms is a series of six exhibitions that explores the impact of graphic design in our everyday lives by looking more closely at the visual forms and graphic languages that surround us. Curated and designed by Andrew Howard, the series was part of a programme that the Serralves Foundation has developed with the Silo–Espaço Cultural, NorteShopping. 2006–2008. Each exhibition was accompanied by a publication (average 48 pages), A5 in format, except for the last exhibition Gateways, which was accompanied by a 444 page book, also A5 in format, awarded a certificate of Typographic Excellence from the New York Type Directors Club.
The 2nd exhibition, Read Before Using / Ler Antes de Usar (June 2006), explores the world of visual instructions. With consultant collaboration from Piet Westendorp from the Delft University of Technology, Netherlands, the exhibition draws its inspiration from the book 'Open Here' by Paul Mijksenaar and Piet Westendorp and makes extensive use of the University archive.'
