Sa virtuosité et sa curiosité, à nulles autres pareilles, le placent parmi les grandes figures des arts graphiques et de l’édition. Si tous les amateurs connaissent le nom de Vox pour la classification des caractères typographiques qui porte son nom, si certains l’associent aux Rencontres de Lure qu’il a fondées et où défile depuis 1952 la fine fleur du métier – Excoffon, Knapp, Frutiger, Massin, Carson, Scher, Robial et tant d’autres –, beaucoup ne mesurent pas l’ampleur de son oeuvre. Dans ses mémoires, restés jusqu’ici inédits, il revient sur cinquante ans d’édition, de créations visuelles et typographiques, sur les grands moments de sa vie, comme la Résistance et la libération de Paris, mais aussi sur ses rencontres dans les milieux très divers qu’il a fréquentés.

Summary:
"Soak Wash Rinse Spin" investigates the cycles of the Tolleson Design creative process through a textual and graphic layering of information involving four phases: research (the intake of as much information as they can gather), collaboration (with the client and with the other members of the creative team), visual exploration (the workbook process, which includes refinements and the examination of multiple options), and environmental influences (consideration of the ultimate purpose of the solution). Tolleson Design, located in San Francisco since its inception in 1984, produces corporate and product identity, annual reports, web and interactive design, packaging, and environmental graphics for a broad client base that includes Kodak, Nike, Microsoft, Virgin Interactive, Urban Outfitters, and the San Francisco Ballet. Their work has appeared in design publications such as Communication Arts, Graphis, and I.D. Magazine, and has received hundreds of awards.

Summary:
German culture in the twentieth century moved quickly and intensely, bound up with the politics of the country. Paul Renner (1878—1956) lived and worked through constituent episodes of this history, both embodying the patterns of his times and providing a critical commentary on them. In this book Christopher Burke provides the first extended account of an essential and still underrated figure. Beginning his career in the thick of the Munich cultural renaissance, Paul Renner worked as a ‘book artist’, applying values he had learnt as a painter to this everyday item of multiple production. An early and prominent member of the Deutscher Werkbund, he was committed to the values of quality in design, always tempered by a certain sobriety of attitude and style. In the 1920s Renner engaged with the radical modernism of that time, briefly in Frankfurt, and then in a more extended phase at the printing school at Munich. Under Renner’s leadership, and with teachers such as Georg Trump and Jan Tschichold, the school produced work of quiet significance. In those years Renner undertook the design of the now ubiquitous typeface Futura. Christopher Burke’s analysis of the design process reveals the characteristic Renner approach: he took up with current tendencies, but through an extended process of finely judged development, helped to deliver a product that has long-lasting quality. In the Nazi seizure of power of 1933, Renner was dismissed from his teaching post — in days recounted here in dramatic detail — and entered a state of ‘inner emigration’. Burke’s account of the Nazi years shows Renner negotiating events with dignity. After 1945, Renner lived in retirement, but entered public discussion of design issues as a voice of experience and sanity. "Paul Renner" is a work of discovery. As part of its fresh narrative and analysis, it includes much new illustrative material and the first full bibliography of Renner’s writings.

Summary:
No other region of the world currently has such a high concentration of top-quality graphic design as Switzerland. Traditionally understated, Swiss design is now creating an international sensation as young designers successfully combine radical approaches to design with unerring lightness of touch, craftsmanship and attention to detail. Their use of forms is often reduced, which also meets the standards for use on the Internet and enhances the international reputation of Swiss design. "Benzin" reviews the work of the most talented of the younger generation of Swiss designers. The book strikingly shows how local scenes can shape developments in design despite globalisation.

Summary:
The book reproduces a series of the collages made by David Wild. Their subject is modern architecture in the first half of the twentieth century: in the Netherlands, in Russia, and in the work of Le Corbusier. The method of the book is to show a collage on a right-hand page; then on the facing page is a prose commentary by Wild and supporting smaller images. Introducing the book, David Wild explains that the impulse for this work lies in the aftermath of a fire in his house: his scorched books lent themselves to collage. He goes on to sketch the cultural-political climate in Britain over the last 40 years: the backdrop to his work as an architect and (less directly) to this book. In the opening section on the Netherlands, the leading theme is an architecture of social equity and continuity. Rooted in old cultural traditions, and in the particular ‘football-pitch’ landscape of the country, modern architecture could realise some of its dreams in everyday buildings. Postage stamps play an active part in many of the book’s collages, and especially in this section: the design of stamps flourished in the Netherlands, through the enlightened patronage of the Dutch post office — with several architects designing stamps too. Politics and history come to prominence in the Russian section, as a motivating force in the work of the early 1920s, and then as a heavy burden — with the onset of totalitarian control and repression. At the centre of the discussion here is the architecture of constructivism: formally brilliant, but with a clear social programme. Flight and the exploration of space are recurring topics in this section, as another and particularly Russian dimension of utopian striving The work of Le Corbusier, in Europe, North and South America, Russia and India, is treated in the third section. Le Corbusier is presented as a brilliant artist, a master architect of the greatest skill and the greatest ambition — and without scruple in pursuing commissions. The images and text follow him into the years after the Second World War, culminating in the work in India. Here there is a vision of another kind of politics, of co-operation and non-violence.

Summary:
This two-volume work presents life and work of the English typographer Anthony Froshaug. "Typography & texts" concerns Froshaug's work. An introduction by Robin Kinross outlines the nature and achievement of Froshaug. Then a selection of his printed products is shown with extended critical captions, followed by layouts that he made as instructions. At the centre of this book is the section of 'texts' all the writings that Froshaug published in his lifetime or which exist in manuscript in some adequately finished state. This volume concludes with a catalogue of work, bibliographies, index (to both volumes). The second volume, "Documents of a life" is not a biography, but rather a sequence of documents, mostly drawn from hitherto private sources, interspersed with explanation by the editor. Among these documents are autobiographical memories by Froshaug, as well as correspondence between him and a range of contemporaries. Notable correspondences represent his attempt in the 1940s to publish texts by Jan Tschichold, and his friendship with the writer Stefan Themerson. Memories by his friend Wolfgang Hildesheimer are preseted here for the first time in English. Froshaug’s periods as a one-man printer in Cornwall, adjacent to the artists at St Ives, are documented. The book also represents his seminal teaching work at the Central School of Arts & Crafts, the Hochschule für Gestaltung Ulm, the Royal College of Art, and Watford School of Art.
