Martin argues that design is not necessarily for the social good, but that it is immersed in the social realm in all its contradictions and confusions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough a series of case studies he explores a wide range of social practices that employ illicit forms of design thinking, including: early computer hacking and present-day hacker culture in which everyday objects are repurposed and deliberately misused; the cultures of reproduction, counterfeit and pirated versions of classic and luxury designs; and the use of material practices by smugglers to conceal drugs within consumer goods and luggage. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eDeviant Design\u003c\/i\u003e contends that these amateur and illicit practices challenge the normative idea of the professional designer or maker. Rather than being reliant on the services of institutionalized design professionals, the adhocist practitioner displays forms of innovative design knowledge in understanding how artefacts have an inherent potential to be misused or repurposed.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCraig Martin\u003c\/b\u003e is Reader in Design Studies in the School of Design at the University of Edinburgh, UK, where he teaches on the postgraduate Design for Change programme.
