Summary:
Rolling Paper Graphics is typographic dream. For decades typographers and designers have been waiting for a publication just like this one - they just didn't know it until now. Interestingly, many of the examples featured demonstrate a highly sophisticated command of visual graphics, particularly those that date back to the 19th Century. Rolling paper was clearly a highly prized consumer product and an enormous amount of care was taken to create a look and feel that would appeal. The color, texture and size were all vital to an individual brand's success. This unique collection presents 540 different kinds of rolling paper plus seventy posters. Brands featured include Amber (1876), Cine (1900), Malvarrosa (1903), Bambu (1907), and Remeditos (1908). Another interesting aspect of this title is that it provides the opportunity for the viewer to observe the influence of historical moments on advertising and design.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage explore la philosophie et la pratique de l'illustration autant dans sa forme traditionnelle que numérique. A quoi ressemble la vie d'un illustrateur en ce début de siècle? les illustrateurs contemporains jouissent-ils de plus ou moins de tribunes qu'autrefois? de tous temps, l'illustration a fait office d'arme pour les mouvements de contre-culture, construisant ainsi tout un pan de notre culture visuelle. Les pages de magazines, les couvertures de livres et les pochettes de CDS confirment l'importance que nous accordons toujours à cette discipline artistique. Au fil des chapitres, nous verrons comment expérimenter les différentes techniques, interpréter un cahier des charges, connaître les ficelles du métier et donner forme à ses idées à travers un langage visuel personnel. La richesse des exemples présentés offre un point de vue inégalé sur le monde de l'illustration.

Summary:
Notre regard est quotidiennement arrêté par des illustrations, que ce soit dans les livres pour enfants, dans la presse, sur un tee-shirt ou une publicité. Cet art a considérablement évolué, tant du point de vue de la technique que des contextes d'utilisation, mais reste un langage visuel décliné par chaque illustrateur, et pouvant ou donner forme à une idée et se faire vecteur d'information, ou brouiller le message. Ce livre est un guide destiné tant aux étudiants qu'aux professionnels, se voulant à la fois introductif à la technique, vitrine de créations et procédés, source de réflexion et d'idées. Des commentaires d'illustrateurs sur leur travail, d'enseignants et d'étudiants enrichissent les chapitres thématiques, offrant ainsi un large panorama de ce qu'est l'illustration aujourd'hui.
