Overview

"On the walls of Mexican cities and towns, in lieu of posters sign painters paint murals to advertise performances. These distinctive murals are unlike any you've ever seen, and in ""Mexican Music Walls: Bardas de Baile"" author Patricia Cue presents them in all their idiosyncratic nuance. Like MBPs other books on vernacular design, ""Mexican Music Walls"" features interviews with the artists themselves on their techniques and motivations as well as attractive photos of their work. A dual-language book, ""Mexican Music Walls"" will appeal to readers of Spanish and English who are interested in design, Mexican visual culture, and the impact of globalization on Mexican cultural life. Patricia Cue is a graphic designer whose life and work oscillates between the U.S. and Mexico. She completed her graphic design studies at the Universitdad Iberoamericana in Mexico and at the Basel School of Design in Switzerland. Patricia teaches graphic design at San Diego State University and through her work explores how design shapes cultural identity, drawing inspiration from the tradition, the colors, and textures in vernacular forms of design. Patricias work has been published by ""AIGA Voice Journal"" for Graphic Design, AIGA XCD, and Fahrenheit Contemporary Art. She has received design awards from Quorum / Mexican Design Council, CSCA, and UCDA."
