Degrees of Separation Edited by Samia Saleem
New Orleans-based design community
Degrees of Separation has produced a new
book to showcase the post-Katrina work
created by the area’s artists. The book highlights work
by over 20 designers connected to the area through
the Degrees of Separation community site, and shows
a personal response by each of them to the hurricane.
“The title of the project was ironic after the
hurricane dispersed many of us across the country,”
commented founder and featured designer Samia
Saleem. “After Hurricane Katrina, Degrees of
Separation was transformed into an
outlet to share our experiences and reflections.”
When Katrina struck, the design community relied
on AIGA’s Displaceddesigner.com site to help find
work space. “Now there seems to be a stronger
community, and more publications are coming out
of New Orleans because of the storm,” says Samia.
Degrees of Separation is available now and five per
cent of proceeds will go towards the AIGA New
Orleans Design Educational Fund. - Computer Arts Magazine, February 2007
