A New *Program* for Graphic Design
Design by IN-FO.CO
Programming by O-R-G
A *New* Program for Graphic Design is a do-it-yourself textbook published by Inventory Press (Los Angeles) with DAP (New York) and designed by IN-FO.CO. The book synthesizes the pragmatic with the experimental and builds on mid-to late- 20th-century pedagogical models to convey advanced principles of contemporary design. Rooted in three courses (Typography, Gestalt, and Interface) originally developed for liberal arts students, David Reinfurt provides a broad and comprehensive introduction to graphic design and visual literacy for readers from any discipline.
The book was produced over three days in Los Angeles, based on eight years of teaching at Princeton University. One semester-long course was compressed and presented each day as six 45-minute lectures. These were recorded, transcribed, and edited with additional post-production.
The book has been distilled further into a simple screensaver software — A *New* Program for Graphic Design is now A New *Program* for Graphic Design.
*Upon purchase, you will receive an e-mail, containing a unique download code to redeem your software, as well as a physical artifact via mail.*

LIMITED EDITION: Media Burn + Boot Boyz T-shirt
9 x 12 inches, 128 pages, softcover book
100% Ring Spun Cotton Garment Dyed Short Sleeve
Yellow with Black print
** PLUS we'll include a limited edition ANT FARM DVD!!**
In collaboration with Inventory Press, Boot Boyz Biz launched a limited edition Ant Farm t-shirt last week, inspired by our recent title Media Burn: Ant Farm and the Making of an Image, by Steve Seid. After the shirt sold out nearly instantaneously, we’re excited to announce that we have a very limited number of shirts here at IP, available as a combo package with the book.
In their own words, Boot Boyz Biz is: "a project based research practice. Promoting access to ideas and activating ecologies of knowledge is essential to our projects. We see t-shirts as means for a public sphere – tools for generating marginal forms of discourse with a broad social scope. We aim to assemble an expanding archive of citations, linking a wide range of ~material we live by~. We utilize intertextual strategies and disinterment to produce synthesized works that strive to open unique pathways. 👢-ing is a model for connecting with histories and ideas, allowing us attempts to capture essence and organize a collective memory that guides our future."

Cyberfeminism Hat
100% Cotton
The Cyberfeminism Index hat features a symbol on the front and the question “What is Cyberfeminism?” on the back.
The male-male-female-female symbol appeared on the 1997 webpage “darKcoRe” by the artist GashGirl (Francesca da Rimini). The symbol originally appeared as two gold female symbols and two silver male symbols, the stems of each float and interlock into the circle of the next, creating an entangled loop of gender markers and fluid relational possibilities
Black and White hats sold separately or bundled with a copy of Cyberfeminism Index.
