Summary:
What decisions lie behind the way a book is designed? How are readers of books helped or hindered by the choices that a designer, publisher, or printer has made in presenting an author's text to its intended audience? Are there any lessons we can learn from a study of the books that have been produced in previous centuries? In this stimulating and generously illustrated volume, Alan Bartram, a distinguished book designer and typographer, answers many of these questions and provides his personal view of some of the successes and failures of his predecessors. He looks with fresh eyes at a varied range of books published in western Europe and America in the last half-millennium, concerning himself in particular with readability, function, and clarification of meaning. He also discusses how different elements of text, decoration, and illustration were combined in the layout of the printed page, and he comments on whether the resultant design is successful.

Summary:
On the outside surveys 8vo’s work from 1984–2001, including Octavo, the international journal of typography and its influence in the emergent typographically-led design movement in the UK and internationally during the late 1980s and through the 1990s. The emphasis is on process : trying to reveal how 8vo’s design got made rather than simply showing finished jobs. A number of hand-made and computer generated stage by stage mock-ups are featured. Written and designed by Mark Holt and Hamish Muir, two of the founding principals of 8vo, the story’s told it how it was—the everyday struggles of working with clients, typesetters, printers, and later on computers. Like many of their contemporaries, 8vo were working during a period of considerable change within the design industry — the book places 8vo’s work within the context of this revolution; from paste-up to desktop.

Summary:
Typography today exists in conflict with classical font design and contemporary influences such as analogue distortion, screen applications, street culture, deconstruction, hand lettering and illustrative letter forms. "Type one" not only presents an overview of the diversity in current typography, but also reveals where conventions have become established and where valid new approaches exist. In addition to a selection of typefaces and their applications, the book features articles by and interviews with international experts such as Jean François Rappot, House industries’ Andy Cruz and Ken Barber, Norm and Professor Tanja Diezmann. Topics range from the democratization of the font creation process by the computer to how much existing approaches are based on the same fonts. These texts are edited and commented by Silja Bilz, former project and product manager for Corporate type at the renowned Linotype library. While "Type one" provides practical context and examples, it also investigates the experimental and inspirational side of font design. This combination makes the book a resource for anyone seeking an up to date exploration and understanding of typography.

Summary:
In producing this book, America Sanchez has photographed and arranged some 1,825 examples of Barcelona urban graphic art: shop signs, door numbers, vignettes, allegories, emblems and pictograms which illustrate the uses of the city and make them legible. In so doing, Sanchez has rescued from anonymity a multitudinous cast of spontaneous graphic artists: sign-writers, painters, engravers, carvers, smiths, stained-glass workers. With this, he has inaugurated a new field of study of everyday life, the main themes of which Norberto Chaves discusses in his introductory remarks to the work. A superficial gaze will find nothing here but a collection of curiosities, products of popular inventiveness. The more attentive gaze, however, will discover a genuine graphic treasure. With this book, America Sanchez makes a cultural contribution as important, if not more so, as his estimable work as a graphic designer. As a result, Barcelona can see itself in the mirror of its anonymous graphic art and thereby recoup another aspect of its enormously rich heritage. There are almost two thousand images, representing all the barrios of Barcelona, and classified in some 150 variations on seventeen major themes: the human figure, flora, fauna, figurative and abstract iconography, shields, plaques, tiles, murals, signs, captions, monograms, numbers, ornaments, ironwork. Two hundred and thirty pages and four gatefolds, arbitrarily arranged, the aim of which is to awaken the curiosity of, and to surprise, the "pedestrian". The author himself writes that: "The book is open to a wide range of readings, as a volume of photos, a graphic document of the city's heritage, or as a reference manual of graphic solutions for designers, typographers, architects and interior designers. It is also a meditation on the industrial, commercial and institutional fabric of different eras of the city". This book was originally published in 2001. The new edition includes a red fabric-covered slip-case.

Summary:
"U" (Upper & lower case) was a defining voice in world graphic design between 1973 and 1999. It was in some ways a lifestyle magazine for the design community, providing a fascinating intersection of popular culture and graphic design in the last quarter of the 20th century. The list of editorial contributors to "U" is long, many prominent designers worked on designing entire issues. Their best work is showcased in this book through the reproduction of selected covers, stories, and illustrations from the approximately 100 quarterly issues that were published. This book also contains four informal but in-depth chapters on the background, context, use of design and typography, and people involved in making "U" happen over the years.
