Issue 388 of IDEA is a form-rich look at contemporary graphic design today, notably what has been called “Acid Graphics”, the visual mashup of assorted digital cultures inspired by rave graphics. Jumping off from the platform of online portfolios, this issue is chock-full of some of the most groundbreaking new design work today, with nearly the entire issue being bilingual English/Japanese. IDEA #388 also features an intensely thorough look at contemporary Swiss type designers, a survey of contemporary online portfolio platforms, a glossy fold-out supplement of historic rave flyers, and this issue of IDEA also ships with the official IDEA 2020 Calendar!
