Graphic art is a powerful weapon of protest and propaganda, shock and subversion. From the revolutionary Sixties to the present, Graphic Agitation explores the many ways in which graphic art and design have addressed social and political issues around the globe. Covering a broad range of subject areas including war, peace, ecology, health and sexual politics, the book features the work of some of the design world's best-known personalities as well as the graphics of anonymous protest. In addition to its striking visual impact, this unique collection of images presents a memorable reflection of the social concerns and political struggles of our age.

If you ever need inspiration for how to represent an idea with an image then you should definitely have this book on your shelf. Most of the pieces are very simple but dramatic. Before you create your next PowerPoint presentation - peruse this book and up the ante on your boring bulleted lists.
