This book shows some projects of the graphic design studio Gary Gangs created by American designer and photographer Billie Gary. Who is Billie Gary? She grew up in St. Louis (Missouri) in a quite poor neighborhood dominated by criminality and violence. Already as a little kid she observed with attention each situation that surrounded her analyzing people’s behavior and interaction.

“When you grow up this way, you somehow feel almost compelled to improve social relationships. Design does that. Photography combined with typography creates strong images and messages that are able to change the human behavior and relationship. I really do believe in that.” – Billie Gary
