Celebrated designer, writer, activist, and educator Cheryl D. HolmesMillers memoir of a life in advocacy and her journey to answer the question Where are the Black designers?Cheryl D. HolmesMiller is one of the design fields most respected figures. She is legendary for her decades of scholarship and activism and is known as a touchstone and conscience for the design profession. This longawaited book documents the history of the question she has been asking for decades: Where are the Black designers? along with related questions that are urgent to the design profession: Where did they originate? Where have they been? Why havent they been represented in design histories and canons?HolmesMiller traces her development as a designer and leader, beginning with her own family and its rich multiethnic history. She narrates her experiences as a design student at Rhode Island School of Design, Maryland Institute College of Art, and Pratt, leading up to her oftcited Pratt thesis examining barriers to success for Black designers. HolmesMiller describes the work of her eponymous studio for noted clients that included NASA, Time Inc., and the nascent Black Entertainment Television, as well as the story of her later critiques of the industry in the design press, most notably in Print magazine. Miller also recounts the parallel history of collective efforts by fellow scholars and advocates over the past fifty years to identify and celebrate Black designers.Enhanced with a foreword by Crystal Williams, president of Rhode Island School of Design, awardwinning poet, and noted advocate for equity and justice in the fields of art and education, HERE is part memoir, part investigation, and part urgent call for justice and recognition for Black designers, making it an invaluable resource for graphic design professionals, teachers, and students.

The book arrived a week late, which was frustrating. However, once I finally got my hands on it, I enjoyed the stories and profiles. Just be prepared for potential shipping delays!

Beautiful Book, Missing Some Designers
I was excited to explore the work of black designers, but I felt like a few key figures were left out. Still, the presentation is stunning and it's worth having on the shelf. Just wish it included more diversity within the profiles.

Interesting but Lacks Depth
I found the book to be a bit light on content. While I appreciate the focus on black designers, I expected more in-depth analysis of their work. Still, it’s a nice addition to my collection.
