Galicia in design is a unique journey through the history and culture of Galician design, narrated through a selection of 100 symbols, brands, and graphic identities that help us understand the evolution of our visual heritage. This work is born from the desire to contribute to the creation of a historiography of Galician design and to offer a reference catalog for dissemination, consultation, and inspiration for present and future designers.
Organised into five historical periods –from its origins to the contemporary era–, the publication not only outlines a coherent narrative sequence but also seeks to build bridges between eras, interpreting history as a collective story.
The 700-page volume is divided into three parts: the first features texts exploring our graphic memory within the context of major global movements; the second presents one hundred brands accompanied by contextual explanations; and the third, comprising 250 pages, gathers photographs of graphic applications on a wide range of media, such as posters, books, and objects.
Galicia in design is, ultimately, an invitation to raise awareness of our graphic heritage and to celebrate design as an essential tool in the service of society.
