Ohio

Specific Ideas is the Cleveland-based multidisciplinary creative practice of Adam Swift Lucas — one part graphic design studio, one part independent publishing house. It aims to operate at the intersection(s) of graphic design and publishing, making both (quicker) self-initiated projects and (slower) works in close collaboration with artists, writers, musicians, and other fine folk. A portion of the practice is dedicated to supporting social justice efforts through pro bono service. A focus of the press’s publishing output is artist books and editions because they are an accessible, distributable medium, and an effective means for amplifying ideas.
