Résumé:
L'ornementation typographique a connu diverses fortunes dans l'histoire de la création graphique. Elle a été portée aux nues par des mouvements comme l'Arts & Crafts ou rejetée par d'autres comme le Bauhaus. Après avoir longtemps disparu du paysage graphique, elle effectue aujourd'hui un retour en force spectaculaire. Cet ouvrage propose de montrer comment les graphistes, illustrateurs et typographes actuels intègrent des caractères calligraphiés, illustrés, ornementés, expressifs, dans leurs projets personnels ou commerciaux. Ce panorama foisonnant est divisé en trois parties - la première consacrée aux influences des Styles et périodes du passé, la deuxième à la prédominance des motifs issus de la nature et la troisième au grand éclectisme qui règne dans ce domaine. Dans chaque partie, des modules thématiques présentent les principaux styles et motifs de ce renouveau typographique : " victorien ", " psychédélique ", " fleurs ", " liquide " ou encore " chaotique " et " puzzle ". Le point de vue passionnant des auteurs, leur sélection pointue et originale font de Nouvelle Typographie ornementale un ouvrage de référence et une superbe source d inspiration pour les amoureux de la typographie.

In recent years, books and websites have been collecting the field's best. While stimulating, these finished projects offer little insight into how visual solutions were reached, making them of limited use to designers wanting to produce work of their own. In Infographic Designers' Sketchbooks, more than fifty leading graphic designers and illustrators open up their private sketchbooks to offer a rare glimpse of their creative processes. Emphasizing idea-generating methods—from doodles and drawings to three-dimensional and digital mock-ups—this revelatory collection goes inside designers' studios to reveal the art and craft behind infographic design.

Résumé:
"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.

Résumé:
Walk down any street in Mexico, and you'll be greeted by images of soccer stars, mariachi singers, space ships, taxis, tortas, tequila, or any one of the colorful posters that shopkeepers, advertisers, designers, and artists have put up throughout their cities and towns. Sensacional: Mexican Street Graphics is a collection of these images that often define public space south of the border. The images collected here depict a vibrant and experimental visual culture. Advertising everything from sex clubs, wrestling arenas, and restaurants to dentist's offices, auto-body shops, locksmiths, and shoe-repair stores, these images provide an inspiring monument to the craft of vernacular design, and are as much a part of the streetscape as the buildings they cover. Following a foreword by renowned musician and artist David Byrne, and an introduction by design historian Steven Heller, Sensacional presents more than 300 full-color illustrations of Mexico's most animated street graphics.
