SVA's D-Crit, the first design criticism MA program, has released the second tabloid print edition of its student publication 2NDFL, edited by Eric Schwartau. The issue, subtitled 'Context Windows'—a term borrowed from AI language models—features essays from the Class of 2026 covering topics from immigrant monuments in New York City to corporate aesthetics. Designed by Andrew McQuiston (D-Crit 2022) in modernist black and red, the publication serves as a platform for emerging design critics.
