Disorder is the first book dedicated to the product of this rule-breaking output and his inimitable ‘Swiss Grit’ approach, which sees modernist type principles combine with a soulful street aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom work made for the influential Ray Gun music magazine in the 1990s, through to his more recent hands-on, type-based projects for clients such as Nike and New Order, Disorder is concerned with the human craft of creativity – the details, imperfections and serendipitous moments. Disorder is an AI-free zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCovering work made from 1997 to 2024, the book features 488 pages of published and unpublished work from Ray Gun (issues 44–58), alongside marked-up chromalins, diary entries and discarded early layouts. Disorder charts the development of Ashworth’s career from an independent designer to becoming creative director at Microsoft in Seattle, and brings together a selection of his ‘found-type’ photography and music-inspired artworks. Ashworth sees his work – craft-based, handmade – as a counterpoint to our screen dependent digital culture, and the manifestation of an alternative view, arguing that creative development away from the computer offers unique and precious merits.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition: \u003c\/b\u003eAs New.
