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 I 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.
