Dictadura del diseño: Notas para estudiantes molestos, by Argentine designer Carlos Carpintero, is a collection of essays and columns written for design students, gathering material originally published across university sites, magazines and blogs. It addresses graphic design practice and education in a direct, informal register aimed at students who question received ideas about the field.
Dictadura del diseño: Notas para estudiantes molestos brings together texts that graphic designer Carlos Carpintero wrote over time for a range of outlets, including university websites, specialized publications, digital magazines and blogs, along with previously unpublished material, in a single volume aimed at graphic design students. The book's subtitle, roughly "notes for troublesome students," signals its intent: short, direct pieces meant to be accessible even for readers resistant to conventional design instruction, touching on how design is taught and practiced and pushing back against unquestioned assumptions within design culture. Carpintero handled the book's design and photography himself, with editorial input from collaborators including Federico Díaz Mastellone and Daniela Boquete Aguiar.
