《AGI New Members 2007-2017》一书由知名设计师何见平先生主编和设计，德国Hesign出版社出版。预计2018年8月上旬面市。本书收录了国际平面设计联盟（AGI）2007年至2017年十一年间，两百余位新会员的最新设计作品。 ——“对AGI的印象是什么？ 加入AGI前后，有什么不同的认知？” ——“平面设计行业的未来前景会如何，对此有何期许？” ——“平面设计师当代最大的挑战是什么？” ——“在电纸书盛行、纸媒递减的今天，您认为纸质出版具有什么意义？”…….. 除了设计作品外，每位新会员还针对平面设计行业所面临的时代现状，发表了自己的观点。 “AGI New Members 2007-2017” is coming soon! This book is edited and designed by well-known designer Mr. Jianping He, and published by Hesign Publisher in Germany. It is expected to be available in early August 2018. The book includes most updated design works of more than 200 new members of Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI) from 2007 to 2017. ——“What were your impressions of AGI before you became a member and how have these changed since you became a part of it?” ——“How do you see graphic design developing in the future and how do you see yourself evolving along that path?” ——“More immediately, what challenges are graphic designers facing today?” ——“While electronic and time-based media are now omnipresent, what role do you see printed media playing now and in the future?” Besides,each new member also expresses his/her opinions on current situation that graphic design is now facing. 自1951年成立以来，AGI聚集了国际平面设计师。会员们坚信，平面设计是社会交流、教育和传播的基础。尽管视角发生了变化，但AGI旨在通过论坛、出版和教育活动推进平面设计的目标仍没有改变。 我认为AGI是一种积极的、有远见的力量。我们选择让自己参与到新科技、文化冲突和社会问题等似乎挑战我们专业既定惯例的问题中去。为解决这些问题，我们着眼于有关传承、教育、社会问题和新科技的活动。在传承方面，我们注意到，十分盛行的AGI社交平台将我们和渴望学习的研究者联系到一起。他们对AGI以往和现在会员的有影响力的作品十分感兴趣。这种日益增长的关注可能和AGI在教育中的表现有关。许多会员都参与教学，AGI正在创建一个全球教育工作者的平台，我们希望通过它对有关未来设计教育的争论产生影响。 作为专业人士，成为AGI会员，我们可能会得到认可，但是荣誉伴随着责任。在我担任主席这三年，我认识到这意味着什么。拥有多少个不眠之夜，也体会到为这个67年的宏伟建筑增添新瓦的乐趣。这个建筑由一群不屈不挠的乐观主义者亲手打造，带给我们无限惊喜。 本文节选自AGI主席Nikki Gonnissen女士为《AGI New Members 2007-2017》所作序言。 Since its inception in 1951, AGI has been assembling an international community of graphic designers. Members share the conviction that graphic design is fundamental to how societies communicate, educate and inform. AGI’s aim to promote graphic design by means of talks, publications and educational activities has remained unchanged, although the perspective has shifted since then. I regard AGI as a positive, forward-looking force. We choose to engage ourselves with new technologies, current cultural debates and urgent societal issues that seem to challenge the established conventions around our profession. To address these topics we have looked at activities around heritage, education, social issues and new technologies. On the topic of heritage, we note that the highly popular AGI social media platforms have connected us to an eager audience of students and researchers who take a keen interest in the influential works of AGI’s past and present members. This growing interest could be linked to AGI’s presence in education. Many members are involved in teaching and AGI is now creating a global platform of educators through which we hope to influence the debate on the future of design education. As professionals we might enjoy the recognition that comes with being AGI members. But the honours come with responsibilities. Over the three years of my presidency I have learned what that means. It was the cause of sleepless nights and just as often it has been a joy to add some new stones to this magnificent 67-year old construction, handbuilt by a community of relentless optimists who never fail to surprise us. The article is part of the preface of “AGI New Members 2007-2017” by AGI president Nikki Gonnissen. 在自媒体愈来愈普及的今天，每个人的发声都很容易被传播。个人意见既然单体就能被扩散，那么社团就被质疑存在的必须性。原来那种由社团进行召集，进行一场聚会，谈论对一个提议的意见，或者抗议遭遇不公，今天通过社交平台，有时一个人的力量就能达到了。AGI作为社团，是否还有存在的必要性呢？ 同样的，谁又能抗拒iPad的魅力呢？纸质书又多又重，如何携带、运输、保存、搜寻、整理.......每个问题都在凸显ipad这类数码阅读机器的优点。巨大的网络信息和越来越强大的搜寻功能，令纸质书的出版还有必要吗？设计师娴熟的印刷技巧和纸张辨识能力，还有意义吗？ 曾经，我被自己闪过的这些念头狠狠打击着，开始怀疑自己工作的意义，开始长时间心不在焉，开始害怕知道答案。我后来释怀，终于走出这些问题，不是因为我找到了答案。我只是转移了我的关注点，于是发现自己对这些答案不再那么介意。我觉得，AGI 对我还不只是意味着，它是平面设计这个专业的社团，它还承载了我对平面设计这个专业所有美好的期待。而我设计和出版一本书，不再是关心这本书的销量，而转为关注这本纸质书能填补什么数码书无法传递的东西。 于是任何的付出都具有了意义。 何见平 2018年5月 本文节选自何见平先生为《AGI New Members 2007-2017》所作序言。 As social media becomes more and more popular, people’s voices can be easily uttered and transferred. Since individual’s opinions can be spread without any obstacles, the meaning of the existence of an association might be doubted. The get-togethers that used to be organised by organisations, in forms of meetings, discussions or protests, now seem manageable through e-platforms by an individual. Does AGI, as an association, still need to exist? Similarly, is there anyone who can resist a tablet? The heavy nature of paper books, raised questions on how they could be carried, transported, saved, searched and arranged, which advances the characteristics of e-devices such as iPad. Are paper books still meaningful because of the powerful Internet? Are designers’ skilled painting techniques and paper recognising abilities still meaningful? I used to question the meaning of my work, I was absent-minded for a while and was afraid of knowing the answer. But finally, I let it go. It was not because I found out the answer, it was because I distracted my attention: I do not care about the answer any more. AGI, to me, is not only an association, but also somewhere that carries my promising expectations on graphic design. When I design and publish a book, I do not really care about its sales volume, whereas I pay much attention to what paper books could approach instead of e-books. And then any effort would pay off.
