Nick Deakin © . I work commercially as a graphic designer and illustrator under the studio moniker Totally Okay and I'm Senior Lecturer at Leeds Arts University where I teach on the Graphic Design BA (Hons) undergraduate degree course. In 2022 I co-authored, edited and designed the book Graphic Events: A Realist Account of Graphic Design (Deakin and Dyer, 2022) in which we consider how graphics are not static, but that they go on living beyond the ideal intent of their design. “Deakin and Dyer give language to a new way to talk about and evaluate design” Fuller, J.
