Summary:
This 'image book' presents a themed overview of the work of the graphic designer Piet Gerards. Fifty works chosen and provided with a commentary by Gerards himself show how playful perfectionism and ironic aestheticization have come to typify his iconoclastic style of designing. A recalcitrant commitment and an interest in art history set Piet Gerards on the trail of modernism and the historical avant-garde at an early stage. Experimenting in that spirit, he developed during the course of three decades a wholly individual approach that strikes a balance between aesthetic ideals and usefulness. Ben van Melick describes and interprets Piet Gerards's development step by step: from self-taught man and left-wing activist specializing in posters and pamphlets to publisher and premiated maker of books, organizer of special cultural productions and graphic designer of many facets. Van Melick's penetrating scrutiny of Gerards's work is complemented by an exhaustive documentary overview of major biographical and culture-historical backgrounds. These forge links, unfold narratives and introduce friends in a telling account of Gerards's world. Working title: Piet Gerards, graphic designer is an unconventional portrait of an unconventional designer, agitating against the vagaries of the day.

Summary:
The Austrian typographer and graphic designer Helmut Schmid (1942–2018) was acknowledged globally as a master of his craft. Schmid put his own spin on Emil Ruder's teachings while remaining faithful to his principles of clarity, simplicity and elegance. Living in Osaka, Vancouver and Germany (where he worked for the German Social Democratic Party and the German chancellors Willy Brandt and Helmut Schmidt), Schmid merged Eastern and Western influences in his editorial design, product packaging, political and corporate visual identity. This bilingual monograph explores the typographer's oeuvre in its entirety. The book's generous design allows each image to breathe; accompanying texts narrate Schmid's life and career in an informative but pleasant manner.

En 1976, lorsque la SNCF lui commande le dessin de la carte voyageurs, c’est une première pour le designer suisse Rudi Meyer qui n’a jusque-là jamais dessiné de plans de réseaux ferrés. Des logos, des affiches, des caractères typographiques, du mobilier, des scénographies d’exposition, des montres, des dispositifs de projection vidéo, oui. Mais des cartes ? Aucune encore.(...)

Des logos, des affiches, des caractères typographiques, du mobilier, des scénographies d’exposition, des montres, des dispositifs de projection vidéo, oui. Mais des cartes ? Aucune encore. Il dut, pour relever ce défi, inventer quelques outils au passage. Sa capacité à décloisonner a fait de lui un inclassable et donc un marginal au sein du cadastre des champs disciplinaires, plutôt imperméables et hiérarchisés en France. On en est parfois venu à ne plus savoir exactement quel était son métier. Qu’à cela ne tienne. Ne prenant racine dans aucun pré carré spécialisé, il multiplia les incartades, les rencontres, les collaborations et autres fertilisations croisées, sans jamais se sédentariser ni s’attacher. Dans cet entretien, Rudi Meyer revient sur des moments fondateurs de sa carrière et donne à voir sa conception d’un design inclassable, sans cesse réinventé.

Summary:
''Paula Scher: Works'' is the definitive visual record of the groundbreaking graphic designer and Pentagram partner. Co-edited by Tony Brook and Adrian Shaughnessy, the book organizes Scher’s work chronologically into several thematic sections. It opens with a long interview with the designer, then moves into her record covers from the 1970s and 80s. Central chapters look at her innovative approach to identity design and environmental graphics and its impact on contemporary New York’s urban fabric — as seen in work for clients from MoMA to Charter Schools; from the High Line to Shake Shack — as well as her logos for global corporations and cultural institutions. A large section on authorship is devoted to the designer’s socially and politically-motivated posters, New York Times Op-Ed illustrations and campaign work. The book also provides the most up-to-date look at Scher’s idiosyncratic hand-painted maps, a prolific artistic practice that complements her still-growing graphic legacy, as well as her longstanding collaboration with The Public Theater, which spans over twenty years.
