What is a true 1950s look, as opposed to a 1930s or 1940s look? This book aims to address that question by thoroughly surveying the development of graphic design over the course of the 20th century. Timelines for each decade highlight key moments, styles and movements, while profiles of thirty influential graphic designers three per decade are interspersed throughout the book.

Retro Graphic Design Pocket Essentials is a visual sourcebook for contemporary designers looking to simulate the timeless styles of the past. Chapters broken down into key trends of the decades offer 'design modules' that put each style into context, explaining how it originated and was used at the time, but also deconstructing the defining characteristics to make it easy to recreate today. Each design detail - from ornamentation and illustration style to colour palettes and letterforms - is analysed and explained. Motifs from classical and Renaissance art and the evergreen graphic styles of the nineteenth century are included, with focus on the major design movements of the twentieth century - everything from Gothic Revival, Art Nouveau and Futurism to '60s Pop Art and Postmoderism of the '70s and '80s. Richly illustrated and meticulously researched, Retro Graphic Design Pocket Essentials is a visual encyclopedia of all the ingredients that go into vintage design.

Analyse du goût du vintage dans le cinéma sinophone. L'auteur fait la synthèse des grands travaux qui ont étudié ce mouvement, plus complexe qu'une simple nostalgie, et s'attache à cerner, en s'appuyant sur des analyses détaillées de films de Hou Hsiao-Hsien, Edward Yang ou Tsai Ming-Liang, ce que les Taïwanais, Hongkongais ou Chinois tentent d'exprimer. ©Electre 2016 Avec la maîtrise du cinéma sinophone qu'il a déjà montrée dans Ages inquiets ? Cinémas chinois, une représentation de la jeunesse, Corrado Neri balaie avec une aisance évidente tous les genres concernés : des films autonarratifs sur les années de collège du réalisateur aux films d'horreur locaux, en passant par les histoires de faux superhéros à la sauce sinophone et par les "péplums" liés à un projet national chinois ou taïwanais. Le livre de Neri est alerte, parfois drôle, souvent touchant pour qui connaît Taiwan de l'intérieur, tout en traitant d'une question sérieuse. Qu'est-ce que le rétro ? Pastiche et références multiples et maniaques au passé, certes ; mais au-delà, y a-t-il plus qu'une mode ? Est-ce une démarche assumée portant expression de revendications ? Le regard en arrière est-il une volonté de freiner la fuite en avant, en cultivant le plaisir du temps retrouvé, qui permet de favoriser notre transition vers un autre âge, moins inquiet ? Sans vouloir donner de réponse définitive à ces multiples interrogations, Neri fait la synthèse des grands travaux qui étudient ce mouvement, largement plus complexe que l'expression d'une simple nostalgie, et s'attache à cerner, en s'appuyant sur de nombreux exemples et sur des analyses détaillées de films importants, tels ceux de Hou Hsiao-hsien, Edward Yang, Tsai Ming-liang et bien d'autres, ce que les Taïwanais, les Hongkongais, les Chinois tentent d'exprimer ? de plus en plus ensemble ? par-delà la grande variété des oeuvres étudiées.

Vocals tinged with pain and desperation. The deep thuds of an upright bass. Women with short bangs and men in cuffed jeans. These elements and others are the unmistakable signatures of rockabilly, a musical genre normally associated with white male musicians of the 1950s. But in Los Angeles today, rockabilly's primary producers and consumers are Latinos and Latinas. Why are these "Razabillies" partaking in a visibly "un-Latino" subculture that's thought of as a white person's fixation everywhere else? As a Los Angeles Rockabilly insider, Nicholas F. Centino is the right person to answer this question. Pairing a decade of participant observation with interviews and historical research, Centino explores the reasons behind a Rockabilly renaissance in 1990s Los Angeles and demonstrates how, as a form of working-class leisure, this scene provides Razabillies with spaces of respite and conviviality within the alienating landscape of the urban metropolis. A nuanced account revealing how and why Los Angeles Latinas/os have turned to and transformed the music and aesthetic style of 1950s rockabilly, Razabilly offers rare insight into this musical subculture, its place in rock and roll history, and its passionate practitioners.
