Book SynopsisPart design history, part trip down musical memory lane, this anthology of jazz album artwork is above all a treasure trove of creative and cultural inspiration.

To satisfy even the most demanding of music geeks, each record cover is accompanied by a fact sheet listing performer and album name, art director, photographer, illustrator, year, label, and more.Trade Review“The quintessential coffee table book and the perfect conversation piece for relaxing with a friend over cocktails and listening to Ella Fitzgerald or Lady Day.” * Boston Spirit *“Anyone with a love for jazz or design should have this publication.” * complex.com *"A visual feast of 12-inch-square draughtsmanship and photography at its finest." * Artists & Illustrators *

JOVIS Verlag HerStories in Graphic Design: Dialoge,
Book SynopsisZweisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch) / Bilingual edition (English/German) Die Geschichte des Grafikdesigns ist weitgehend ohne Frauen geschrieben worden. Blickt man jedoch unter die Oberfläche dieser Erzählung, wird der Einfluss sichtbar, den Grafikdesignerinnen auf das Geschehen hatten: Sie bildeten eigene Traditionen, stellten dialogische Bezüge her, wurden Vorbilder, knüpften Netzwerke, erprobten sich in Selbstermächtigung. Gerda Breuer beleuchtet diesen Kampf um Professionalisierung und zeigt, auf welche kollektiven Formate Designerinnen zurückgriffen, um sichtbar zu werden und sich für die Belange von Frauen einzusetzen. Bekannte Grafikdesignerinnen wie Ljubow Popowa, Änne Koken, Ethel Reed oder Sarah Wyman Whitman spielten hierbei ebenso eine Rolle wie völlig unbekannte Kollektive. Breuer zeigt, dass deren bedeutende Beiträge in der Rezeptionsgeschichte verschwunden, abgewertet, ignoriert oder in den Hintergrund gedrängt wurden. Aufgrund der aktuellen Infragestellung des traditionellen Kanons ist die Integration solcher Beiträge in die Designgeschichte längst überfällig. Design von Katja Lis, DBF Designbüro Frankfurt

Onomatopee Graphic Events: A Realist Account of Graphic
Book SynopsisGraphics have a way of living that is often awkward and unplanned. We see it when they are ripped from walls, littered on streets and faded in shop windows. We wouldn't say they are that way by design, however this everyday difference between graphics and their designs is underimagined in critical discourses. Graphic Events intensifies this difference in a montage of original essays and interviews that coax graphics into unfamiliar dialogues. Edited by James Dyer and Nick Deakin. Foreword by Alex Coles. With contributions from James Williams, Patrick Thomas, Fraser Muggeridge, DR. ME, Textbook Studio and Teal Triggs. Postscript by Johanna Drucker. BiosDr James Dyer is senior lecturer of Graphic Design at the University of Huddersfield. Nick Deakin is senior lecturer of Graphic Design at Leeds Arts University. Prof. Alex Coles is a design critic and Professor of Transdisciplinarity at the University of Huddersfield. Professor Johanna Drucker is the Breslauer Professor of Bibliographical Studies and Distinguished Professor in the Department of Information Studies at The University of California.

NUS Press Vietnam Documented: The British Library's Vietnamese Collection
Book SynopsisExplore Vietnam’s rich literary and graphic design history. Vietnam has a strong literary culture that dates back to Confucian influence and has remained important today. Using Vietnamese books, documents, and manuscripts from the collection of the British Library, Vietnam Documented gives a window into that heritage and represents key incidents in Vietnamese social, cultural, and political history. It also highlights the visual sophistication of Vietnamese design, drawing on Chinese and French models and socialist styles in art and design. An informative text by the long-time Keeper of the Vietnamese collection, Sud Chonchirdsin, introduces the book. Among the earliest documents in the Library's collection is a 17th-century royal letter to the English East India Company. Other highlights include a travel diary of a member of one of the last of Vietnam's tribute missions to the Imperial court in China (1880) and a beautifully illustrated manuscript of the classic Tale of KiÊ`u. The strength of the collection lies in materials collected during Vietnam's twentieth-century struggle for independence—including rare periodicals from North Vietnam—that show how artists were mobilized in wartime. This accessible, full-color introduction to an under-appreciated design heritage is a welcome view into a beautiful culture.Table of ContentsPrefaceIntroductionThe formation of the Vietnamese collectionVietnamese manuscriptsVietnamese theatreFifty shades of Kiê`uMythical creatures in Vietnamese cultureVietnam and dragonsEarly dictionaries of Southeast Asian languagesClasses and costume in traditional Vietnamese societyVietnamese traditional marketsVietnam War artWomen and the Vietnam WarChildren in the Vietnam WarWar cartoons and propaganda from North VietnamAnniversary of the end of the Vietnam WarVietnamese collection milestone:Retroconversion of the card catalogueBibliography
