(available to order)
Summary:
Considéré aujourd’hui comme l’un des plus célèbres graphistes américains, Paul Rand a marqué l’histoire du design graphique par sa production, notamment celle de logos pour de grandes entreprises telles que IBM, ABC ou UPS qui restent encore majoritairement inchangés aujourd’hui. Véritable artiste moderne, Paul Rand est parvenu à allier certaines influences avant-gardistes européennes (notamment celles du Bauhaus, du mouvement De Stijl, ou du constructivisme russe) au fonctionnalisme américain, donnant ainsi naissance à une nouvelle conception du design. Son travail sur les identités visuelles a ainsi transformé en profondeur le champ de la publicité en faisant du design un outil commercial à part entière. Ce livre sera accompagné de près de 150 images en noir et blanc et 70 en couleur qui donnent à voir l’ensemble du travail de Paul Rand, et d’une postface de Steven Heller, journaliste et directeur artistique américain.

Based on the in-depth research that world-renowned Dutch designer Irma Boom conducted into the development of the book in the library of the Vatican, it is at once a survey of the history of the book and a miniature Irma Boom retrospective, reproducing a selection of more than 350 books she has designed over the course of her eminent career. Alongside reproductions, Boom extensively discusses the relationship between her work and older book forms. With this tiny (two and a half by three inches), slipcased, 1,000-page, richly illustrated volume, itself an exceptional feat of bookmaking, Boom aims to inspire and encourage a new generation of designers to experiment and develop new ways of conceiving this simplest and most enduringly effective of forms.

Summary:
Created in his off-hours on the weekend and in part inspired by the modern artists of his day, Jack Stauffacher’s exquisite prints demonstrate what wood type can do when released from its role in traditional communication and instead used to explore letters as pure form. In the resulting abstract, dynamically composed, often lushly layered prints, Stauffacher reclaims typography as a subject fit for the gallery wall. Featuring 500 images (most of which have never appeared in a publication before) and essays by collaborators from the worlds of art and typography, ''Only on Saturday'' is the first trade book to document the work of one of the past century’s great typographers and printers—and offer the compelling backstory behind its creation.

''Ode to construction : Abstraction in the digital age'' explores the inersections of graphic design and art through the means of generative code, gesturing playfully and melancholically towards the foundational legacies of the Supremacist and Constructivist movements of the early 20th century. At once a book, website, and exhibition, ''Ode to construction'' demonstrates the fluidity of design's materializations within the conditions of the digital, moving effortlessly between screen, print, and space. By reanimating the formal strategies of modernist abstraction, graphic designer Polina Joffe probes the technical and social registers of design today.

Summary:
Hansje van Halem creates alphabets, textures, and patterns – both digitally and manually – and applies them in designs for posters, illustrations, and public space art works such as gates and floors. She continuously keeps track of the unfinished sketches, type drawings, motifs, and expertiments, whether commissioned, applied, self-generated, or rejected. It is a dizzying array of successes and failures, both used and unused, as unused material often becomes a source from which Hansje draws further inspiration. Parts of this material were published in ‘Sketchbook’ (2013) and ‘Sketch Cahier’ (2014).

Illustrated with images from Jan Tschichold’s little-known private collection of design ephemera, this book explores a legendary figure in the history of modern graphic design through the artists, ideas, and texts from the Bauhaus that most influenced him. Tschichold (1902–1974), a prolific designer, writer, and theorist, stood at the forefront of a revolution in visual culture that made printed material more elemental and dynamic. His designs were applied to everyday graphics, from billboard advertisements and business cards to book jackets and invoices.
