We Refuse To Grow Up

Arts & Culture / 2021

We Refuse To Grow Up is a book that tells the story of growing up as a graphic design studio in Indonesia. The book pries open the expectedly-complicated yet unpredictably-simple process that is the design process, the behind-the-scenes of how an idea goes from the drawing board into the hands of the consumers, the relationship between the designer and the client, nurturing future generations of designers to even subjects that are rarely talked about in the Indonesian design industry – the profession being undervalued yet constantly growing interests as time goes. Exploring in-depth the journey of these aspects of design, we take readers by the lessons we learned through past projects, while visually and expressively communicating a 15-year long journey with various visual elements.

Chapter Artworks The 12 chapters that narrate our lessons worth more than a decade are each represented by 12 artworks that playfully engage readers to interpret the imagery in their own way. With the stories that issue growing up, the artworks are to portray ageless fun, juxtaposing that we haven't truly lost our inner child.
