Carson
Fotografiks - David Carson
by
David Carson (Author)
/
Philip B. Meggs (Author)
/
Gingko Press (Editor)
A new expression of Carson's famously original way of seeing, 'fotografiks' are curiously fleeting images that seem to have been lifted out of their mundane context and abstracted to another realm. Street markings, graffiti and all sorts of signage have been obscured, enlarged or cropped to create strangely familiar but often enigmatic pictures that show Carson's acutely sensitive response to shapes, colors, shadows and light. An introductory essay explores the synergy between graphic design and photography, and the dynamic relationship that exists between words and pictures. Anecdotal captions provide philosophic comments on the nature of the photographs, aspects of the page design and observations on the process of assembling parts to form a whole. Possibly the most influential graphic designer working today, David Carson has been profiled by several of the world's leading publications including Newsweek and The New York Times, and has won an award from the International Center for Photography in New York for "the best use of design with photography". He creates cutting edge advertising for a number of high profile clients including Nike, Microsoft, MTV, Jaguar, Ray-Ban and Sony.

Glaser
Drawing is Thinking
by
Milton Glaser (Author)
/
Judith Thurman (Introduction)
/
Overlook Hardcover (Editor)
For more than fifty years Milton Glaser has designed much of the world we experience every day. His posters, books, albums, restaurants, advertisements, and so much more have made him the preeminent force in design in America. Drawing upon an amazing vocabulary of images and techniques, Glaser has now created his most personal book. Based on his view that all art has its origin in the impulse to create--primarily through drawing--he has designed a book that powerfully delineates this idea. In Drawing is Thinking, the drawings depicted are meant to be experienced sequentially, so that the viewer not only follows Glaser through these pages, but comes to inhabit his mind. The drawings represent a range of subject matter taken from throughout Glaser's career. They illustrate the author's commitment to the fundamental idea that drawing is not simply a way to represent reality, but a way to understand and experience the world. Glaser's two signature books, Graphic Design and Art is Work, both published by Overlook, are still in print decades after their first appearance. Each displays his work with short descriptions of how the work came about. But in Drawing is Thinking, the author is less interested in display and more concerned with how the mind works to visually represent reality.

Le Corbusier
Le Corbusier, Architect of Books
by
Catherine de Smet (Author)
/
Lars Müller Publishers (Editor)
Meet Le Corbusier--book designer. Coined the "Architect of the Twentieth Century," Le Corbusier's buildings have long been a part of the canon of modern architecture. He was a challenging figure who mainly designed based on his "five points of new architecture," in order to bring man's living up to speed with the technology, aesthetics, and politics of his age. He is infamous for his design of the capital at Chandigarh, India, and well-loved for his the concrete Chapel of Notre Dame-du-Haut in Ronchamp, France. In fact, Le Corbusier is so loved, disliked, or revered for his architecture that his work as a book designer and author is scarcely known and even-more-scarcely documented. Yet, in his lifetime (1887-1965) he meticulously planned and realized over 40 books. And in this publication, Le Corbusier: Architect of Books, these works are thoroughly and comprehensively presented in order to familiarize viewers with the lesser-known book designer. Cathérine de Smet, an art historian and critic with profound knowledge on this aspect of Le Corbusier's work, is our guide through photographs of the books and previously unpublished archive material. At the end of this book, we come to understand the process through which Le Corbusier's books first came into being, and the significance that he accorded to books as an essential medium within his output. Essay by Cathérine de Smet. Hardcover, 6.5 x 9.5 in./250 pgs / 200 color.

Paul Rand (1914-1996) was a pioneer of American graphic design who arrived at his own distinctive visual language via the influence of European avant-garde movements like Cubism, Constructivism and De Stijl. As an art director, teacher, writer, and design consultant for leading companies (including ABC and UPS) he was a major force for designers, educators, and students worldwide. Much has been written about Rand, but most of it has been biographical work. Paul Rand: Modernist Designer features a wide range of critical inquiry into Rand's workseeking to place his contributions within the context of the artistic, design, architectural, and technological developments of the 20th century.

Thonik
Young Dutch Design 1 : Thonik
by
Thonik (Author)
/
Netherlands Design Institute (Editor)
First in a new series of monographs that will be devoted to the most successful young designers in the Netherlands. Thonik, formerly known as Gonnissen en Widdershoven, finds itself in the exclusive company of a group top Dutch design agencies that have been able to attract attention and acclaim from their international peers. Thonik's style is not easily defined but it could be said that their designs are deceptively simple. In each work, underlying a minimum of graphic devices, is a hidden expressive gesture that brings agility and cheek to conceptual precision. In 1998 they won an award from ID Magazine for a book they designed titled ''Eternally Yours'', the subject of which was sustainable product development. In an environment where so much loud shouting is required to capture public attention the work of Thonik provides welcome relief.
