Résumé:
Printed in the colors of flesh and blood, VAS: an opera in Flatland - a hybrid image-text novel - demonstrates how differing ways of imagining the body generate diverse stories of history, gender, politics, and, ultimately, the literature of who we are. "VAS" combines a variety of voices, from journalism and libretto to poem and comic book. Often these voices meet in counterpoint, and the meaning of the narrative emerges from their juxtapositions, harmonies, or discords. Utilizing a wide and historical sweep of representations of the body - from pedigree charts to genetic sequences - "VAS" is, finally, the story of finding one's identity within the double helix of language and lineage. A novel by Steve Tomasula. Art & design by Stephen Farrell.

Résumé:
John Maeda est, dans le domaine du numérique, probablement le plus grand designer, professeur et artiste actuel. Tandis que son précédent ouvrage maeda@media, qui connut un immense succès, retraçait l'ensemble de son œuvre, Code de création permet aujourd'hui de découvrir une facette moins connue mais ô combien essentielle de ce créateur : son activité d'enseignant au sein du célèbre MIT Media Lab. John Maeda nous ouvre en effet pour la toute première fois les portes du mythique Aesthetics and Computation Group (ACG) qu'il dirigea pendant huit années et nous présente les travaux les plus passionnants et innovateur de ses étudiants, dont la plupart jouissent désormais d'une réputation internationale. L'ouvrage, entièrement conçu par Maeda lui-même, s'organise autour de thèmes qui reflètent parfaitement les sujets et interrogations phares du design numérique actuel : la visualisation de l'information, la typographie, l'abstraction, l'interaction, l'enseignement.

Résumé:
W.J.H.B. Sandberg (1897-1984) was a highly individual graphic designer as well as director of the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, which after the Second World War he elevated to a leader among museums of modern art. This book gives a kaleidoscopic picture of Sandberg as the designer of almost all the Stedelijk's posters, catalogues and other printed matter and also shows the decisive influence he had on the modernizing of the museum building. The war years 1940-45 brought a turning-point in Sandberg's life. During the German occupation he took an active part in the artists' resistance movement, where he became convinced of the stimulating and provocative role artists could play in society. After the war, with few means at his disposal but with a great sense of purpose, he set about transforming the Stedelijk into a meeting ground where the public could become acquainted with a wealth of contemporary art and design in an informal setting. He gave the old-fashioned building a bright, airy interior and added a transparent new wing. He also provided a generally accessible library at the core of the museum together with a restaurant and terrace. The atmosphere pervading Sandberg's Stedelijk could be attributed to his zestful personality, his talents as a designer and his tireless efforts on behalf of artists and art, driven by a firm social commitment. The author and compiler of this book (born in 1931) spent many years working at the Stedelijk Museum and was a friend of Sandberg.

Résumé:
''Paula Scher: Works'' is the definitive visual record of the groundbreaking graphic designer and Pentagram partner. Co-edited by Tony Brook and Adrian Shaughnessy, the book organizes Scher’s work chronologically into several thematic sections. It opens with a long interview with the designer, then moves into her record covers from the 1970s and 80s. Central chapters look at her innovative approach to identity design and environmental graphics and its impact on contemporary New York’s urban fabric — as seen in work for clients from MoMA to Charter Schools; from the High Line to Shake Shack — as well as her logos for global corporations and cultural institutions. A large section on authorship is devoted to the designer’s socially and politically-motivated posters, New York Times Op-Ed illustrations and campaign work. The book also provides the most up-to-date look at Scher’s idiosyncratic hand-painted maps, a prolific artistic practice that complements her still-growing graphic legacy, as well as her longstanding collaboration with The Public Theater, which spans over twenty years.

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.

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.

Among other things, there he was tasked with designing a poster titled “Don’t croak about military service matters, the enemy is listening”.
