Résumé:
This artist’s publication contains a sequence of unique letterpress monoprints, made by Dutch graphic designer Karel Martens between 2014 and 2022. The prints, which are both highly geometric and brightly coloured, are reproduced in the book at their actual size. Textual elements accent the various abstract shapes and repetitions on almost every page. ‘Small Prints’ is available in two different cover versions, which itself is the result of a printing experiment. By printing the contents of the book in three layers on a single print sheet, which was then cut and folded, variations in the cover emerged.

Résumé:
Michael Bierut est l'une des personnalités les plus notables du graphisme contemporain aux États-Unis, mais son travail et ses écrits restent mal connus en France. Le présent ouvrage rassemble douze articles qu'il a publiés entre 1992 et 2013 – la plupart sur le site Design Observer, dont il fut l'un des fondateurs –, et dont le propos dessine les contours d'un ethos professionnel original, entre modernisme pragmatique et contextualisme joueur. Ils sont complétés d'une sélection des projets les plus significatifs menés par Michael Bierut tout au long d'une carrière s'étendant sur plus de quatre décennies. Cette première publication en français est riche d'enseignements éthiques et pragmatiques qui en font une source d'inspiration essentielle pour les praticiens comme pour les étudiants en design graphique.

Résumé:
Le patronyme du typographe français Claude Garamond (v. 1510–1561) est aujourd'hui accolé à plusieurs dizaines de caractères typographiques numériques d'apparence pourtant très dissemblable. De la Renaissance à l'ère contemporaine, cet ouvrage s'attache à décrire et à expliciter les sources de ce qu'il faut bien appeler l'« imbroglio Garamond », au sein duquel le prestige du nom semble avoir, depuis longtemps, remplacé la connaissance des formes. Les enjeux culturels, esthétiques, économiques et techniques qu'il soulève intéresseront tous ceux pour qui la typographie constitue un champ essentiel d'expertise et de pratique professionnelles.
