ARK: Words and Images from the Royal College of Art Magazine 1950-1978 is a wide-ranging anthology of articles and images from the College's long-running ARK magazine – an influential presence in British cultural life. CWA&D students have selected and curated material from ARK's 54 issues, spanning nearly three decades, to give a snapshot of its bold and fast-changing design, and extraordinary cast of writers and artists that helped propel it to international attention. This publication features a complete run of ARK covers in full colour including designs by Len Deighton and Alan Fletcher; a preface from design critic Rick Poynor; and a full index of the magazine's content throughout its duration, as well as rare texts and classic image essays. Together, the material offers a vivid overview of the changing attitudes and approaches to art and design in Britain in an age of considerable flux.
