Summary:
Swiss typographer and graphic designer Hans-Rudolf Lutz found the passion behind this book in the trash literally. In 1975, he happened to notice the graphics on some cardboard shipping boxes put out for garbage collection. They soon became an obsession, which has resulted in this fascinating 5000-illustration compendium. Lutz was enchanted by the simplicity and clarity of these found graphics. Even with the most extreme reduction to essentials, their drawings are capable of conveying sensuality, surprise and precise information, Lutz writes. "I have come to admire these unsung designers." The book covers the spectrum from pure representation to decorative display to the personification of the product. This marvelous book is a sure source of wonder and inspiration for professional designers and is the first work of several that Niggli is bringing back by this pacesetting typographer, a follower of the great Max Bill and contemporary of Emil Ruder and Josef Muller-Brockman.

Summary:
The material concerning symbols and signs, here presented, is complex in character. The text is not continuous. It consists of explanations of the figures with which it is linked. The symbols stand in relation with one another, creating a network which is difficult to follow in book form. As an aid to exploration of the subject matter, this chart was produced with rows of signs and captions. The mind, however, does not follow the content in linear fashion but moves criss-cross in a pattern which is different for each 'reader'.

Summary:
L'image d'une pomme désigne le fruit mais peut aussi, dans certains cas, évoquer une alimentation saine ou symboliser la beauté, car les signes ont le pouvoir de signifier tout autre chose que ce qu'ils semblent montrer. Leur signification dépend des éléments qui servent à les mettre en forme ainsi que du contexte dans lequel ils sont perçus. Alphabet morse, panneaux de signalisation, publicités, héraldique, musique, peinture, photographie, poésie, cinéma, design et architecture, gestes et expressions du visage, symptômes, vêtements ou rituels : les signes sont d'une extraordinaire diversité et ne cessent d'enrichir le champ des significations qui nous entourent. Massivement véhiculés par l'image, ils relèvent de la sémiotique, qui est l'étude des signes. Cet ouvrage propose un accès facile à l'univers des signes à travers soixante-seize notions présentées sous forme de questions-réponses à la manière d'un jeu avec l'auteur. Le lecteur est ainsi amené à s'interroger sur la façon dont les signes sont élaborés, interprétés et compris.
