Call for Contributions Submission Guidelines

The ‘Radical’ Designist” (ThRAD), an on-line journal on Design Culture, calls for contributions about the Golden Age of Design Culture (from the 1950´s to the 1990´s).

The contributions may take the form of papers up to 10 000 words.

ThRAD welcomes papers about Design inside other cultural manifestations.

ThRAD welcomes objective/concise papers with short lists of bibliographic references.

Besides ThRAD, UNIDCOM and CEIADE will publish, in paper, “The Reader´s Designist Magazine” (ThREAD) annually.

ThReAD papers will be published according to a selection made by the International Advisory Board. The Editors may ask authors for revisions on on-line papers with the intention of publishing them in ThReAD.

For ThReAD we also welcome contributions in the form of epigrams, short or shot stories, anecdotes, interviews, book reviews, images and/or visual portfolios, in other words, all which is possible to print in a reader’s magazine. Some of this material may also be published on-line in ThRAD.

We also look for reviewers willing to work, in the comfortable atmosphere of their homes, for the glory of the Design Culture Scholarship.

THE CALL FOR PAPERS IS PERMANENTLY OPEN.

Languages of submission: English, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian and French.

ThRAD contributors are advised to take care of their own papers. All essays will be published based on the evaluation of the contents. Before publication, all authors must send a letter to the chief editor, stating full responsibility for any plagiarism legislations and scholarly authorships.

All texts are transformed in a very simple graphic style for publication purposes.

Papers should be sent in word format and should not exceed 10 000 words.

Images should be sent, not only in the word document (with their right size and place) as well as in a separate file: JPEG or TIFF format.

All papers and images should be sent, to the executive editor Martim Lapa at: theradicaldesignist@iade.pt

By subscribing to ThRAD (the on-line journal), one can order a freshly printed version of “The Reader´s Designist Magazine" (ThReAD) and have it delivered at one’s home or institutional address.
