About

Mark Fox and Angie Wang are designers at Design is Play and instructors at California College of the Arts (CCA) in San Francisco.

Their posters are included in archives and museum collections around the world—an indication of both the quality of the posters and their cultural significance.

Fox and Wang’s commitment to creating sociopolitical work is explored in this 2018 interview with the Letterform Archive in San Francisco.

The poster was elegantly described by Italian adman Dino Villani (1898–1989) as a “paper siren.” Our store is named in honor of Villani’s poetic thought.
