Dutch Design very often has a high opinion of itself. Rubbish, says Joost Overbeek. Joost is Dutch and a de-signer, so he should know.This book is an anthology of Joost's written and visual columns previously published in Vormberichten, Credits, Webber, Revu, Intermediair, as a Boomerang postcard or recited at the Blaffend Hert and O.P.A. in Arnhem.Fellow designer Thomas Widdershoven of Thonik writes in the foreword: ''Joost Overbeek loves our profession, that much is clear. He is a designer, he writes about design and designers. But he is far from a Typical Graphic Designer (TGD). He is 'Typical Joost Overbeek' (TJO). TJO has humour. He is doubly talented. With the same ease he makes visual or textual col-umns that are funny, genial, human. It is this tone that makes his mild mock-ery so effective.''At last a book about design that makes you laugh out loud, whether you agree with Joost or not.
