DREAM LABOR PRESS

Dream Labor Press is a self-publishing collective founded by a group of Chinese female graphic designer-authors who are based in the United States and China. Our work focuses on storytelling and fiction-making in the liminal space between places and identities. 

By means of zines, artist books and other small publications, we play with objects, symbols and memories. We endeavor to communicate layered narratives that resonate with different walks of audiences and to push the boundaries of design.

STREAM-OF-CONSCIOUSNESS DESIGN WORKBOOK



Lexi Xu
2023

8.5 x 5.5 inch
Rubber band binding
52 pages
I developed a design methodology that uses the free association of ideas to convey messages and resonate with the audience, which give both designers and the audience a new way of seeing design. The stream-of-consciousness design workbook is designed to teach people what stream-of-consciousness design is, and how to apply that methodology in their works.
