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 every segment of retail, countless products compete for our attention. Whether fashion, cosmetics, furnishings, accessories, or gourmet food, the range of goods is overwhelming. Designers and manufacturers are faced with the daunting challenge of setting their products apart to reach their target audiences. The best ones captivate us by telling fascinating stories or creating compelling retail spaces and experiences. The Still Life compiles striking editorial photography, innovative shop window displays, and intelligent visual merchandising that succeed in doing exactly that. The featured work is created by imaginative stylists and photographers who arrange products, objects, and materials in unusual ways. Distinctive worlds of images result that are reminiscent of Baroque and Renaissance still life paintings in which arrangements of flowers, fruit, musical instruments, and other objects were used as powerful allegories for various aspects of life and death. Today's creatives are developing new visual storytelling techniques for engaging customers. The Still Life showcases their entire spectrum. The book illustrates how a combination of quality handcraft and inspired flair are being used to put familiar products, such as gardening tools, cutlery, purses, writing implements, or jewelry, into surprising new contexts, ranging from minimalistic understatement to opulent glamour.

Summary:
Naïve documents the return of classical graphic design reminiscent of the 1940s to 1960s in contemporary graphic design. Friedrich von Schiller a minimalist design vocabulary is currently being reinvented by a troop of young graphic designers who are rediscovering the stylistic elements reminiscent of classic graphic design such as silkscreen printing, classical typography, hand lettering, woodcutting and folk art and integrating them into their work. Naïve documents this extraordinary renaissance of Classic Modernism, from the 1940s to 1960s, in contemporary graphic design. Inspired by twentieth century American legends such as Saul Bass, the undisputed master of film title design and iconic logos as well as modernist graphic artist Charley Harper and textile designer Alexander Girard, these burgeoning designers are creating new and striking imagery using palettes of earthy and pastel shades, reduced strokes, patterns and shapes with a strong folkloristic element. Naïve illustrates this new development in graphic design, assembling a multitude of vivid and inspiring examples ranging from illustrations, poster art, editorials, book covers and record sleeves to stationery and textiles.

Summary:
Mobility is the ultimate new form of freedom: freedom from routine, traditional values, and geographic restraints. Today's creatives thrive on a lifestyle that enables them to work six months in a shared office in Berlin, spend the summer in a caravan in Chile, and show up in time for their next project at a temporary desk in New York. This growing trend has generated visionary ways of designing products and spaces that facilitate a nomadic yet high-tech life. From a modular dwelling system on wheels to an inflatable classroom in a repurposed dumpster, this book compiles a wide range of flexible spaces and innovative products that define today's nomads. Through innovative technology, and by (literally) thinking outside the box, the designers behind these concepts give people the freedom to call the entire world their home.
