Everyone Is A Designer In The Age Of Social Media
By Mieke Gerritzen and Geert Lovink

Published by Bis Publishers
ISBN: 978-90-6369-227-8

Everyone Is a Designer in the Age of  Social Media presents the Choice  
Generation of 2010. Looking back at the first edition of  Everyone Is  
a Designer in 2000, when we proposed the idea of democratization of  
design, a decade later this programmatic statement has become reality.  
We are designing our social lives, make our own choices, and create it  
all together! This book signals a new aesthetic movement of  
collaborism: a combination of socially, technologically and  
economically driven systematically generated visuals. A hierarchy of  
levels and layers, pulldown menus, buttons and blogrolls that give us  
access and possibilities to create visuals using style sheets,  
templates, renderings and frameworks for the look & feel of today’s  
design.

Contributions by Matthew Fuller, Alexander Galloway, Peter Lunenfeld,  
Ellen Lupton, Lev Manovich, Koert van Mensvoort, Metahaven, Rick  
Poynor, Ned Rossiter, Bruce Sterling, Clay Shirky, McKenzie Wark.
