Summary:
Typography today exists in conflict with classical font design and contemporary influences such as analogue distortion, screen applications, street culture, deconstruction, hand lettering and illustrative letter forms. "Type one" not only presents an overview of the diversity in current typography, but also reveals where conventions have become established and where valid new approaches exist. In addition to a selection of typefaces and their applications, the book features articles by and interviews with international experts such as Jean François Rappot, House industries’ Andy Cruz and Ken Barber, Norm and Professor Tanja Diezmann. Topics range from the democratization of the font creation process by the computer to how much existing approaches are based on the same fonts. These texts are edited and commented by Silja Bilz, former project and product manager for Corporate type at the renowned Linotype library. While "Type one" provides practical context and examples, it also investigates the experimental and inspirational side of font design. This combination makes the book a resource for anyone seeking an up to date exploration and understanding of typography.

Summary:
In producing this book, America Sanchez has photographed and arranged some 1,825 examples of Barcelona urban graphic art: shop signs, door numbers, vignettes, allegories, emblems and pictograms which illustrate the uses of the city and make them legible. In so doing, Sanchez has rescued from anonymity a multitudinous cast of spontaneous graphic artists: sign-writers, painters, engravers, carvers, smiths, stained-glass workers. With this, he has inaugurated a new field of study of everyday life, the main themes of which Norberto Chaves discusses in his introductory remarks to the work. A superficial gaze will find nothing here but a collection of curiosities, products of popular inventiveness. The more attentive gaze, however, will discover a genuine graphic treasure. With this book, America Sanchez makes a cultural contribution as important, if not more so, as his estimable work as a graphic designer. As a result, Barcelona can see itself in the mirror of its anonymous graphic art and thereby recoup another aspect of its enormously rich heritage. There are almost two thousand images, representing all the barrios of Barcelona, and classified in some 150 variations on seventeen major themes: the human figure, flora, fauna, figurative and abstract iconography, shields, plaques, tiles, murals, signs, captions, monograms, numbers, ornaments, ironwork. Two hundred and thirty pages and four gatefolds, arbitrarily arranged, the aim of which is to awaken the curiosity of, and to surprise, the "pedestrian". The author himself writes that: "The book is open to a wide range of readings, as a volume of photos, a graphic document of the city's heritage, or as a reference manual of graphic solutions for designers, typographers, architects and interior designers. It is also a meditation on the industrial, commercial and institutional fabric of different eras of the city". This book was originally published in 2001. The new edition includes a red fabric-covered slip-case.

Summary:
"U" (Upper & lower case) was a defining voice in world graphic design between 1973 and 1999. It was in some ways a lifestyle magazine for the design community, providing a fascinating intersection of popular culture and graphic design in the last quarter of the 20th century. The list of editorial contributors to "U" is long, many prominent designers worked on designing entire issues. Their best work is showcased in this book through the reproduction of selected covers, stories, and illustrations from the approximately 100 quarterly issues that were published. This book also contains four informal but in-depth chapters on the background, context, use of design and typography, and people involved in making "U" happen over the years.

Summary:
Designers and advertisers continually have to interpret design briefs, produce new solutions to familiar problems and work to keep their clients’ brands high in the public consciousness. This highly informative guide brings together for the first time discussions and case studies that illustrate the working methods of major advertising and graphic design firms. Each chapter explores a different theme of ‘problem solving’, and concludes with a case study to illustrate a particular solution in detail. Themes include: producing innovative work, avoiding repetition, standing out in the market place, reinventing a tired brand, communicating essential facts in a culture of information overload, keeping a brand young and trendy, dealing sensitively with propaganda, the use of shock tactics, and word-based advertising in a world over-run with images and sound-bites. Examples featured are taken from classic and contemporary international advertising. Designers and agencies whose work is discussed in the book include Chermayeff and Geismar, Saatchi and Saatchi, BMP, Minale Tattersfield, Derek Birdsall, Niklaus Troxler, Bob Gill, Wieslan Walkuski, Makoto Saito, Paul Fishlock, and Pentagram.

Summary:
"Merz to Emigre and Beyond" is a historical survey of avant-garde cultural and political magazines and newspapers from the early twentieth century to the present. The book features a unique selection of international publications from Europe and the U.S.A. including "Merz" (1920's), "View" (1940's), "East Village Other" (1960's), "Punk" (1970's), "Raw" (1980's) and "Emigre" (1990's). The design of these magazines, often raucous and undisciplined, was as ground-breaking as the ideas they disseminated. Many were linked with controversial art, literary and political movements such as Dada, Surrealism, Modernism, the New Left and Deconstruction. They contain the work of many leading experimental artists and designers of their time from Kurt Schwitters and El Lissitzky in the 1920's and 30's, to Art Spiegelman and Rudy Vanderlans in the 1980's and 90's.
