The first-ever illustrated history of LGBTQ pride and activism, Queer X Design, celebrates 50 years of iconic designs, symbols, and graphic art that have powered the movement. From pre-liberation to the new millennium, this book showcases inventive and subversive designs that have driven the resilient and ever-evolving LGBTQ movement. You'll find a diverse array of objects represented, including protest buttons, t-shirts, logos, and posters, all created by a range of designers and artists. These designs not only reflect the struggles and triumphs of the LGBTQ community but also convey the emotions and messages of the time. Queer X Design is a potent and colorful visual history of activism and pride, highlighting both the sorrow and the joy, the loss and the hope, that have defined the movement. With its inspiring and inclusive pages, this book tells the story of queerness as something intangible, uplifting, and indestructible. It's a must-have for anyone interested in the history and culture of the LGBTQ community.
