Book Overview

Digipop is a design volume by Karim Rashid focused on the use of computer graphics in two- and three-dimensional decoration. It is an edited version of hundreds of graphic-image proposals created over ten years, including work that was realized and work that remained proposed.

The book is divided into five thematic sections: SYMBOLIK, IKONS, GRAPHIKS, OPTIKAL, and INFOSTETHIKS. These sections consider figurative imagery, invented symbols, graphic concepts, optical phenomena, and information aesthetics.

Rashid describes the project as part of a “Digipop movement,” a graphic world rooted in the computer age and driven by digital technology and infotainment.

What You’ll Discover Inside

• Digital figures, robots, body parts, and repeated product-based compositions in SYMBOLIK.
• A language of 54 self-invented symbols developed over 20 years in IKONS.
• Graphic concepts applied to carpets, bathrobes, T-shirts, and other two-dimensional objects in GRAPHIKS.
• Digitally developed optical proposals influenced by the mathematics of art and the Op-Art period in OPTIKAL.
• Information aesthetics and contemporary digital decoration in INFOSTETHIKS.
• Patterns, graphics, and paintings intended for objects, fashion, textiles, architectural products, art shows, and gallery and museum installations.

Why This Book Matters
