Summary:
Bunpei Yorifuji, auteur et illustrateur japonais, propose dans 'Le dessin et les mots' une réflexion personnelle et éclairée sur son métier de designer graphique. En interrogeant sa pratique, il revient sur des thématiques propres à ce domaine comme le rapport texte-image, l’influence des technologies sur le travail du designer, l’équilibre fragile entre esthétique et lisibilité, ou encore le rôle social du designer. Ces réflexions exprimées sous forme d’un carnet de notes personnelles sont nourries d’anecdotes et d’exemples illustrés. Pour compléter ces thématiques générales, une partie de l’ouvrage se concentre plus précisément sur le design de livres et la conception de couvertures. L’auteur y décrit avec beaucoup de pédagogie et d’humour différentes manières d’aborder ce travail si particulier d’alliance des mots et du dessin. La question que pose Bunpei Yorifuji pourrait être : qu’est-ce que le design graphique, et comment exercer la profession de graphiste aujourd’hui? L’auteur propose d’y répondre comme à son habitude, en texte et en image, mêlant dessins pédagogiques et recherche approfondie.

Summary:
Otto Neurath’s famous "Modern man in the making," first published by Alfred A. Knopf in 1939, captures and describes the state of the world in the 1930s by using text and figurative illustrations. From 1925 on, Neurath and his team had worked on a new visual language termed "Isotype" (International System of Typographic Picture Education). At a time that saw new mass media making hitherto unthinkable amounts of information available, Neurath felt the need for a systematic visualization explaining facts, statistical data and comparative numbers in simple ways. The book can be seen as one of the most influential predecessors of today’s infographics. In the visuals, each symbol and color represents a certain group of objects or people, often compared repetitively over a certain time span. The topics covered in the book include diverse social issues of the time like mortality, health, employment, trade, education, mobility, migration and demographics. "Modern man in the making" shows Neurath’s democratic endeavor to make knowledge intelligible and available to all. It is a reminder of graphic art’s ability to inform and create context instead of presenting aesthetic qualities only. The book has inspired generations of designers and has led to sometimes peculiar imitations and further developments.

Summary:
Beyond books covers the intense activity of printer Alighiero Boetti, from his artists’ books to posters and exhibition invitations, taking a look along the way at his long association with newspaper “Il Manifesto”. Boetti was both typesetter and director of his work, shifting from the role of creator to graphic artist to rewrite and redesign the informative materials on his work. And this is how the artists’ books were born. A limited number of books with hard red cloth covers – Boetti’s trademark – linked by one common feature: they were pieces of real craftsmanship and a fusion of the traditions of printing and art.
