Spanning nearly three decades, Disorder features an impressive array of 488 pages, documenting Ashworth's evolution from an independent designer to a creative director at Microsoft. This journey is illustrated through a blend of published and unpublished works, showcasing his innovative approach to graphic design and typography. Ashworth’s aesthetic—dubbed ‘Swiss Grit’—blends modernist principles with raw, street-inspired energy, creating a unique visual language that speaks to our current cultural moment.

Throughout the book, readers will find a rich tapestry of projects, including his influential work for Ray Gun magazine and collaborations with brands like Nike. Each page is a glimpse into his creative process, filled with diary entries, marked-up chromalins, and early layouts that sketch out the evolution of his ideas.

By stepping away from the digital realm, Ashworth advocates for a return to craft-based, handmade work, emphasizing its importance in our screen-saturated lives. Disorder is, at its core, a celebration of creativity in its most authentic form, urging us to embrace the tangible and the imperfect.
