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:
Designers, graphic artists, architects, and urban planners are now confronted with the tasks of signage, route management, and information and orientation systems. With this book they can profit from a broad view of phenomena related to disorientation-disorientation in scientific disciplines, in our environments, and in expressive presentations. On the one hand, this should make it possible for designers to benefit from attitudes to the topic derived from experience and to move from confusion to visual reflection. On the other, it will enable scholarly disciplines to explore the formation of categories that can move things forward. This visual study is accompanied by heterogeneous brief texts. Images and texts are thus placed in a relationship of mutual reflections rather than confronted with one another in a commentary or illustration.

Summary:
Ruedi Baur has chosen seven concepts to describe his conceptual approach: anticipate, question, inscribe, perplex, orient, differentiate, and translate. They serve as the structure of his book and the basis for seven dialogues between him and conversation partners from various disciplines. The practical implementation of these concepts is presented using projects from his Integral studio in Zurich und Paris. Previously unpublished new projects are integrated thematically into the evolution of Baur’s oeuvre. This book captures the conceptual and design constants of, and the fascination in, the work of Ruedi Baur. Five years after the success of Ruedi Baur, Intégral et associés, the author again takes stock and manifests the principles of his design work and attitude.

Summary:
At the beginning of the 20th century, an unprecedented volume of information began circulating in the mass media, calling for the development of new visualization tactics to organize it all. The abundance of news and information required new forms of representation that would allow readers to glean a quick understanding of complex circumstances at a glance; the infographic was born. "Image Factories" is dedicated to the pioneering infographics of Austrian physician and illustrator Fritz Kahn (1888–1968) and German philosopher Otto Neurath (1882–1945), who both worked with graphic designers to realize their groundbreaking information visualizations. Presenting historical material and imagery designed between 1920 and 1945 alongside contemporary infographics, with a series of essays by Helena Doudova, Stephanie Jacobs, Patrick Rössler, Bernd Stiegler, Vilém Flusser and Otto Neurath, Image Factories offers a fascinating account of the early development of the infographic.
