Design Writing Research
by
Ellen Lupton (Author)
/
Phaidon Press (Editor)
This critical study of graphic design and typography is a source for anyone interested in the art and history of books, letterforms, symbols, advertising, and theories of visual and verbal communication. A section on theory considers the centrality of the written and printed word to post-structuralism and deconstruction. A wide range of design practices are discussed, from the history of punctuation and the origins of international pictograms to the structure of modern typography. A section on media looks at the role of design in mass communications with essays on stock photography, visual journalism, illustration, advertising and vernacular design cultures. The book closes with history, a section organised as a time line spanning 200 years of design in America. These historical case studies show how the modern profession of graphic design emerged in response to cultural, political and economic developments in the US.

by
Anneloes van Gaalen (Author)
/
BIS Publishers (Editor)
Design has many rules that claim to be big truths and full of wisdom. Designers all go by rules that work for them.

When a rule is forced upon you, it stops working and becomes a joke, like ?Never use a PC,? or ?Leave it until the last minute,? or the most famous of them all, ?Less is more.? The problem is that every rule related to, or governing, design is ultimately ridiculous. In this book we have collected the most talked-about rules and the viewpoints of designers and thought leaders who live by them or hate them.

The ABC's of Bauhaus, The Bauhaus and Design Theory
by

Ellen Lupton (Editor)
/
Princeton Architectural Press (Editor)
The ABC's of Bauhaus traces the origins and impact of the Bauhaus in relation to design, graphic design, and typography. The book, designed by the authors, invokes the Bauhaus ideal of synthesizing editorial concept, typography, and format. The essays address such issues as modernist design theory in relation to the nineteenth-century kindergarden movement and Bauhaus graphic design in relation to the idea of a universal "language" of vision. Additional essays address psychoanalysis, fractal geometry, and Weimar culture.
