Due to the success of The Sm;)e Book and demand for more, authors db Burkeman and Rich Browd invite you to celebrate the smiley face’s 60 year impact on art, music, pop and counter culture with the second book in the series, Sm;)e again... In the history of graphic design, there is no other symbol that has ever held such a duality—used simultaneously as both a positive mainstream driver and a counterculture subverter of that very mainstream. Sm;)e again... showcases an even more impressive collection of the world’s most potent visual communicators! Introduction from the legendary Norman Cook, aka Fatboy Slim.
