Summary:
A feminist silkscreen poster collective founded in London in 1974 by three former art students, the See Red Women’s Workshop grew out of a shared desire to combat sexist images of women and to create positive and challenging alternatives. Women from different backgrounds came together to make posters and calendars that tackled issues of sexuality, identity and oppression. With humor and bold, colorful graphics, See Red expressed the personal experiences of women as well as their role in wider struggles for change. Written by See Red members, detailing the group’s history up until the closure of the workshop in 1990, and with a foreword by celebrated feminist historian Sheila Rowbotham, See Red Women’s Workshop features all of the collective’s original screenprints and posters. Confronting negative stereotypes, questioning the role of women in society, and promoting women’s self-determination, the power and energy of these images reflect an important and dynamic era of women’s liberation—with continued relevance for today.

Summary:
One of the common features of communist regimes is the use of art for revolutionary means. Posters in particular have served as beacons of propaganda – vehicles of coercion, instruction, censure and debate – in every communist nation. They have promoted the authority of state and revolution, but have also been used as an effective means of protest. By their nature posters are ephemeral, tied to time and place, but many have had far-reaching, long-lasting impact. They are imbued with both artistic integrity and personal conviction – Bolshevik posters, for example, are among the most vibrant, passionate graphics in art history. This is the first truly global survey of the history and variety of communist poster art. Each chapter is written by an expert in the field, and examines a different region of the world: Russia, China, Mongolia, Eastern Europe, North Korea, Vietnam and Cuba. This beautifully illustrated, comprehensive survey examines the broad range of political and visual cultures of communist posters, and will appeal to a wide audience interested in art, history and politics.

Summary:
Risograph is a brand of digital duplicators that are designed mainly for high-volume photocopying and printing. The process creates micro-imperfections in printing, similar to spontaneity, or even comparable to how improvisation in jazz can lead to an unexpected but pleasant result. The result of two years of research by O.OO, a graphic design studio based in Taipei, the main focus of this publication is colour separation and experimentation with images. The studio does not claim the colour separation methods described here to be absolute or the “right” way, but offer resources in hopes that they can provide helpful advice in practice while on the path to professionalism in this field.

Summary:
Alors que les techniques d'impression numérique paraissent de plus en plus indispensables, de nombreux créateurs font le choix de revenir à des techniques plus traditionnelles, qu'ils remettent au goût du jour. Ainsi, au même titre que la sérigraphie il y a quelques années, la risographie fait un retour fracassant sur la scène créative mondiale. Cet ouvrage est une plongée dans l'univers de la "riso" et des techniques proches. Rappelant d'abord l'historique des techniques basées sur le pochoir et le duplicata, les auteurs font ensuite un focus sur la risographie et la miméographie. Les auteurs présentent les principaux studios de création utilisant actuellement ces techniques, de Londres à Tokyo en passant par Chicago et Paris. Ils mettent en avant des créateurs et des réalisations hors du commun tout au long d'une véritable galerie artistique. Enfin, ils guident pas à pas les lecteurs dans les étapes précédant l'impression (choix du papier, des couleurs, etc.) et leur livrent des conseils. A la fois livre d'inspiration, manuel technique et état des lieux d'un phénomène montant, Risomania est le premier titre français consacré au sujet !

Summary:
Fifty years ago, in 1968, barricades were erected in the streets of Paris for the first time since the Paris Commune of nearly one hundred years before. The events of May 1968 began with student protests against the Vietnam War and American imperialism, expanded to rebellion over student living conditions and resistance to capitalist consumerism. An uprising at the Sorbonne was followed by wildcat strikes across France, uniting students and workers and bringing the country's economy to a halt. There have been many accounts of these events. This book tells the story in a different way, through the graffiti inscribed by protestors as they protested.

Le 15 mai 1968, un atelier d'affiches est créé au sein de l'École supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris. Quelques jours plus tard, c'est au tour des occupants de l'école des Arts décoratifs de fonder le leur. Pendant plus d'un mois, des assemblées générales réunissent quotidiennement artistes, étudiants et travailleurs pour discuter des thèmes et des slogans des affiches qui sont produites sans interruption et diffusées bientôt dans la France entière. À travers la présentation chronologique de quelque deux cents créations – qui montre à quel point celles-ci ont su traduire les événements au jour le jour – et les témoignages de nombreux acteurs de l'époque, ce livre retrace l'aventure des ateliers, illustrée de rares photos sur leur fonctionnement, dont celles de Marc Riboud.

Summary:
Marking the centenary of his birth, the "Poster Collection" series devotes its latest edition to the popular Swiss poster designer Herbert Leupin. Primarily conceiving posters for consumer goods, for many years Leupin created advertising for products as diverse as the soft drink Pepita, charcuterie from Grossmetzgerei Bell, and Roth-Handle cigarettes. He helped these and many other companies develop their own brand identity and a recognizable presence in public space. In doing so, he struck the right balance between old-school artist's posters and a methodology for a successful publicity strategy - and thus bridged the increasingly wide divide between art, graphic design, and advertising.
