Abstract

This vibrant book tells the history of the Modernist design movement and how it completely revolutionized graphic design.Graphic Design as an artistic genre wasn't universally accepted until the early 20th century. This striking book focuses on the pivotal years of 1919-1933 to show how fifty artists redefined the field and helped create modern graphic design. Art historian and graphic artist Alston Purvis provides a concise and engaging overview of the dawn of modern graphic design and the artistic possibilities that were laid bare in a seismically shifting Europe. He explores how a variety of burgeoning and established movements contributed to the innovations of graphic design such as the German Dadaists, the Bauhaus School, and the European avant-garde artists. He looks at how groundbreaking trends in typography, the rise of consumerism, and a new focus on schools of graphic design combined to create a new language of design that is still in use today. Featuring the designs of 50 pioneering artists, such as Walter Gropius, Paul Klee, and El Lissitzky, this book shows how their work in color, typography, and composition broke conventions and set new standards in a seminal period of graphic design.Bron: https://www.amazon.com/

Abstract

For decades, anyone who cared about product design looked to the Braun label when choosing their appliances, radios, and other consumer items. Now Dieter Rams, the guiding force behind the Braun look, breaks down his design principles and processes in this elegant book. Enumerating each of his ten principles such as good design is innovative; good design is aesthetic; good design is useful, etc., this book presents one hundred items that embody these guidelines. Readers will find items that are familiar such as the ubiquitous coffee grinder but also those that are more unusual such as shelving systems and cigarette lighters. A fascinating essay places Dieter Rams in the context of modern design, from Bauhaus to Philip Johnson. Archival materials include photos of Rams? design team and excerpts from his publications and speeches. The book closes with a chronological overview of design icons, categorized by function, that show the enormous breadth of Rams? vision. Taken together, these images and texts offer the most comprehensive overview of Dieter Rams? work to date and will serve as both a reference and an inspiration for anyone interested in how and why good design matters.Bron : https://www.copyrightbookshop.be/shop/dieter-rams-ten-principles-for-good-design-2/

Abstract

Cet ouvrage superbement illustré retrace l'évolution de la création typographique depuis 1985. Présentant les caractères dans leur contexte d'utilisation, affiches, panneaux, journaux, magazines, livres..., pour lesquels ils ont souvent été spécialement conçus, il constitue un précieux outil de référence à l'attention des designers graphiques et de tous ceux qu'intéressent la typographie. Trois essais préliminaires explorent les partis pris du XXe siècle face aux enjeux constants de la typographie : lisibilité, expressivité, beauté formelle du caractère. Depuis les affiches de l'art nouveau, les tendances, parfois antagonistes, du design typographique ont en effet nourri la création contemporaine et il importait d'évoquer cet héritage. Les fontes numériques actuelles sont aussi le reflet de besoins spécifiques en termes de communication, comme en témoignent, parmi les trente-quatre familles de caractères présentées dans la suite de l'ouvrage, Le Monde de Jean-François Porchez, ou Franklin Gothic revisité par ITC. Ces polices, toutes commercialisées, sont dues à des typographes œuvrant tant en Europe qu'aux États-Unis ou au Japon. Leurs sources d'inspiration, leur démarche créatrice sont explicitées ; des reproductions d'esquisses et de premières épreuves, un texte composé dans le caractère lui-même illustrent le propos. Ce livre s'achève très utilement par une description des caractères " historiques " - du Garamond, datant de 1543, au Akzidenz Grotesk, dessiné par Günter Gerhard Lange en 1969 -, qui ont fait l'objet d'innombrables révisions, adaptations et libres interprétations contemporaines.
