“…It took six years for its first English appearance, in an article published in Princeton Review (Macdonald, 2013). Nevertheless, the term gained widespread use and enriched substance since 1990, which has opened avenues for serious discourse as well as offering new ways for history researches (Kikuchi, 2014;Friberg, 2007;Macdonald, 2013). The rise of globalisation debates and the issues of migration are amongst the leading factors bringing the term transnationalism on the agenda.…”

“…Outside of Euro-America, there are growing interests to develop a regional graphic design history within an East Asian framework, tapping on their geographical relationships and interconnected cultural influences (Kikuchi & Lee, 2014). This excludes Singapore, which belongs to the Southeast Asian cluster.…”

The Design Society (TDS) was recently established in Singapore and runs 'The Design Society Journal' (TDSJ), a self-published design magazine documenting Singapore's visual culture. As designer-editors, they aim to cultivate graphic design discourse in Singapore through critical journalism. This posits their practice as design authorship and TDSJ as 'designer-authored' history. This paper presents a brief study on the first eight issues of TDSJ (2009 to 2013) using an analytical framework mainly from the ideas of Michael Rock, Steven McCarthy and Teal Triggs. An investigation into three areas-editorial structure, textual content, and designed form-reveals that TDSJ is still a work-in-progress while unravelling the publisher's ideology. It suggests the expansion and refinement of theories on design authorship by addressing the complications involved when discussed transnationally against other distinguished Euro-American examples. With the increasing interest in studying these graphic artefacts, this provisional reading presents another perspective to the current discourse on design authorship.

“…Huppatz has complained that 'Whereas it is by now widely acknowledged that the histories of modernism and of colonialism are deeply entangled, design history has not properly explored this connection' (Huppatz 2010: 33). Yuko Kikuchi and Yunah Lee have been similarly critical of the extent to which what they characterize as 'Euroamerican' design history has failed to integrate work from outside that region, such as the emerging scholarship on East Asian design history, and has also failed to take account of design histories in languages other than English (Kikuchi 2011;Kikuchi and Lee 2014). The problems associated with languages in design history writing will not easily be solved without significantly better funding for bi-lingual publication, massively increased linguistic capacity among design historians, or perhaps a technical solution facilitating translations of a quality suitable for academic work.…”
