Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Graphic Design in Urban Environments
Book SynopsisRobert Harland is a lecturer in visual communication at Loughborough University, UK. Before moving into academia, he ran his own graphic design practice, Harland Design.Trade ReviewRob Harland's welcome, original and ultimately provocative book considerably widens the range of objects deemed to be urban/graphic design and provides some sophisticated analytical and critical tools with which to explain those objects. If they have any sense, it will be welcomed and used by graphic/urban designers, design theorists, urban and cultural geographers, as well as town and city planners. * Malcolm Barnard, senior lecturer in visual culture at Loughborough University, UK *Robert Harland has done nothing less than redefine graphic design as a spatial practice. He shows how an intricate text of words and images mirrors the flux of people and capital through urban space. Graphic design touches nearly every transaction in the life of a city. * Ellen Lupton, Senior Curator at the Smithsonian Design Museum and Director of the MFA Graphic Design Program at Maryland Institute College of Art, USA *Graphic Design in Urban Environments shines light into the little-explored areas between architecture, urban design and graphic design. The light reveals tantalising new ways to frame discussions of how cities function, and are designed, conceived and experienced. Its audience is as broad as the subject areas it covers – urban geography, architecture, urban design, graphic design, and it offers a critical lens for reconsidering ideas of legibility and imageability in the built environment. Most interestingly, Graphic Design in Urban Environments challenges prevailing conceptions about how we experience, understand and read cities, architecture and places. The discourse has been enlivened by this engaging book. * Neil Stacey, Senior Lecturer in Architecture at Leicester School of Architecture, UK *The main discussions proposed by Harland... are original and timely. He very convincingly explains how graphic and communication design in the urban environment have been underrepresented or even ignored in graphic design historiography and in academic and educational definitions of the field, particularly in the UK. He also effectively demonstrates the difficulties faced by urban theorists who tried to describe the presence and relevance of graphic design artefacts in the public sphere, and the gaps and shortcomings of their approach. The careful descriptions and analysis presented in the book offer a framework for thinking about urban graphic interventions in multiple scales and settings. The result is a relevant contribution to design research, and should stimulate further and welcome debates on the interface between graphic design, communication, and urban design. * The Design Journal *Graphic Design in Urban Environments should be useful to anyone interested in innovative design theory and practice. -- S.

The Fundamentals of Typography is definitely among them, but it takes a step beyond. It covers in one book what I’d typically need many for. It has all the essential content for a basic type course while offering a wealth of information for advanced learners. It is rich in history and spans many cultures and alphabets. Learners can connect with the subject and gain contextual awareness through case studies, examples, and exercises with well-structured methods. I’m thrilled to find comprehensive information on optical, technical, and ethical dimensions all in one place. It’s a must-have for any student and designer's bookshelf -- Donald Tarallo, Graphic Designer for Tarallo Design and Associate Professor at Fitchburg State University, USAThe Fundamentals of Typography approaches the subject in such a way that the book can be used for a student just getting introduced to the idea of typography, yet has enough depth for the more advanced student. The unique typographic examples, combined with exercises at the end of the chapter that I actually want to assign to my students, makes this book my choice for the classroom. The new edition's updated interview-based case studies present contemporary cases that are inspiration for class projects. -- Brytton Bjorngaard, Director of Visual Arts and Associate Professor of Digital Media, University of Illinois Springfield, USAIt is exciting to see examples of type that often do not appear in books on typography. -- Joe Gilmore, Teaching Fellow in Graphic Design, University of Leeds, UKTable of ContentsIntroduction 1 Type and Language The alphabet/Early printing/1800s/The Arts and Crafts movement/The early 20th century/1950s/ 1960s/ 1970s/1980s/1990s/2000s/graphic design today/Case study/Typography task 2 A Few Basics Typefaces and fonts/Typeface anatomy/Relative and absolute measurements/X-height/Basic terminology/Majuscule and minuscule/Set width/The baseline grid/The golden section/The Fibonacci sequence/ Dividing the page/Standard paper sizes/The page--how we read/Case study/Typography task 3 Letterforms Type families/Typeweight variations/Frutiger's grid/Types of serif/Fractions/Superscript and subscript/Numerals/ Diacritical marks/Punctuation/Drop and standing capitals/Dashes/Character spacing/Expert sets and special characters/Small capitals/Ligatures, diphthongs and sans serif logotypes/Italic and oblique/ Type classification systems/newspaper text faces/Hand-drawn type/Case study/Typography task 4 Words and Paragraphs Calculating line lengths/Kerning/Automated kerning tables/Alignment/Word spacing, hyphenation and justification/ Type detailing/Leading/Indents/Indexes/Case study/Typography task 5 Using Type Hierarchy/Color/Surprint, overprint, knockout and reverse/Printing and type realization/Grids and fonts/Generating type/Legibility and readability/Texture/Type as image/Concrete poetry, typograms, trompe l'oeil and calligrams/Humor/Vernacular/Appropriation/Ownership/Case study/Typography task 6 Digital Type Vectors and rasters/Type on screen/Kinetic typography/Environmental typography/Case study/Typography task Glossary Contacts Index

Braun Publishing AG Graphic Design x 100
Book SynopsisGraphic design is the creation of visual contents in various media, whose presentation conveys information to other people. The field is interdisciplinary and subject to constantly changing conditions and different interpretations. This unusual book presents 100 young designers as well as established graphic companies, each on a double page designed by him, her or them. All artists were given the same sample page and the same specified font sizes and number of key strokes. They were free to design the contents of the pages themselves, arrange the text and individual pictures. Minimalist pages are juxtaposed to seemingly overloaded compositions, limited colors to expressive shapes and colors. This resulted in a comprehensive cornucopia of graphic possibilities and trends of the early second decade of the 21st century.

Book SynopsisThe electronic creation and production of images in all the design professions has led today to fundamental changes in the design processes. Hence, drawing has gained a new importance.

Hirmer Verlag Sovak.: Clear Vision(s) - Catalogue Raisonné 1995
Book SynopsisPravoslav Sovak (*1926) is one of the most important graphic artists of our time. With his drawing skills and delight in technical experimentation he focuses his critical attention on society and institutions. Sometimes he lets us immerse ourselves in travel and landscape impressions. A reading book and catalogue raisonné in one, this volume traces Sovak’s multi-layered oeuvre since 1994. The artist from Bohemia is a path-blazer for Postmodernism and an unparalleled master of graphic techniques. With virtuoso skill he combines complex processes from etching to the rarely used helioogravure. With his finely balanced nuances he allows virtually every print to become an original. Sovak’s pictorial themes, from the sterility of the media society or the elemental experience of nature in the wilderness to an autobiographical collage, entrance viewers with a crystalline precision of design. Clear, almost minimalistic structures, networks and grid lines predominate, convincing the viewer with their fine obfuscation and powerful objectivity.
