“’…ARK has become a vivid historical document. It records, narrates, evokes and recalls its moment (or succession of moments) with energy, eloquence and insight. There were other contemporary British magazines about visual subjects with elements of content or design in common – Motif, Typographica, the short-lived Uppercase, even The Architectural Review – but…none of them could match ARK’s twists and turns, its visual conceits and coups de théâtre, or its eclecticism of content during its heyday from the late 1950s to the mid-1960s.’”
– Rick Poynor in the preface to ARK: Words and Images from the Royal College of Art Magazine 1950-1978, published by the Royal College of Art, London, 2014 designed by Jorg Schwertfeger.
