They are the sponsored mechanisms for constructing and manipulating meaning and human identity. But should we cede such a fundamental human need to the market?

It is a compact ‘pocket-book’ format publication composed of four main sections. The first, ‘DIS-BRANDED’, is a text of 20 short page-long chapters exposing the ideological underbelly and real-world impact of branding. The second, ‘MIXED MESSAGES’, is a provocative visual essay illuminating the texts’ main themes. The third, ‘MANUAL’, presents a framework for a critical alternative to corporate branding, humorously appropriating found instructional diagrams as a brand manual satire. This section also includes examples of completed contemporary projects that have implemented post-branding principles. The book concludes with ‘CONTEXT’, featuring a conversation with cultural theorist Brian Holmes and an argument with design historian Steven Heller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart design experiment, part critical theory, and part how-to-manual, \u003cem\u003eWhat is Post-Branding?\u003c\/em\u003e introduces a creative counter to branding’s neoliberal orthodoxy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__keyfigures\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__keyfigures\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN978-90-836820-1-3\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDutch \/ Set Margins' Publications \/ eng \/ 105 x 165 mm\/ 275 pages \/ 0.23 kg \/ hardcover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"not random magazines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47979335549105,"sku":null,"price":52.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/5742\/9169\/files\/SetMargins_2.jpg?v=1790422278","url":"https:\/\/notrandommagazines.com\/products\/what-is-post-branding","provider":"not random magazines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
