A Line Which Forms a Volume is a critical reader and symposium of graphic design-led research that is edited, written, designed and published by participants of the MA Graphic Media Design (MAGMD) course at London College of Communication (LCC).

The seventh edition of this esteemed publication documents and explores the role of emotions in the process of design research. 

According to Zizi Papacharissi, affective publics are networked publics that are mobilized and connected, identified and, potentially, disconnected through expressions of sentiment. By harnessing the power of affective reading, ALWFAV 7 attempts to build a networked structure of feeling which encompasses aspects of culture, society, and political matters.

Additionally, the volume includes conversations and workshops with researchers and practitioners in the field of visual communication, discussing the exploration of emotion in practice and in form.

Publication was released in tandem with a symposium held at Roof Studio, Siobhan Davies Studios in February 2024.
