Summary:
This compendium showcases the work of 100 of the world's most progressive graphic designers, from the hard-hitting political messages of Jonathan Barnbrook to the lyrical digital compositions of Peter Saville to the iconoclastic imagery of Stefan Sagmeister. Alongside the array of visually stunning and thought-provoking advertisements, CD covers, posters, packaging, websites, and corporate identities are texts by each designer expressing his or her individual approach to graphic design practice as well as personal insights into the motivations that lie behind the work. An accompanying introductory essay highlights the current issues surrounding graphic design practice, from the ascendancy of digital tools to the amorality of consumerism. By presenting a provocative survey of the latest, most experimental and forward-looking graphic design from around the globe, this book provides a snapshot of where the discipline stands today and hopefully offers directions for its future.

The book includes a selection of the sketches that Lanfranco Bombelli drafted, first in Paris and later in Barcelona, for the graphics of the exhibitions in the American Trade Centers in Milan, Stockholm, Paris and Frankfurt, from 1963 to 1978, until they were closed, as a continuation of what the Marshall Plan had been. His artistry in geometrical compositions is based on a minimum of plastic means and inspired by mathematical principles. He depicts in this way new products of technological innovation in the fields of pharmaceutics, design industry or printing among others.

Summary:
This outstanding collection of vivid political graphics from Argentina's Left Wing spans decades of political struggle--from woodcuts to desktop publishing. Flags are raised, workers are lionized, headlines blare from La Favilla, L'Agigatore, L'Amico del Popolo, La Questione Sociale, L'Allarme, Umanita Nova, Mundo Nuevo, El Burro, and Einstein, and a lion roars from the logo of La Protesta.

This chunky and cheeky volume is a must-have for anyone interested in graphic design, as well as left-wing politics.

Summary:
A unique look at how popular music and culture have influenced the evolution of British design. The aesthetics and spirit of popular culture have been increasingly relevant to British graphic designers over the past several decades. “Communicate” offers a fascinating selection of this innovative work, examining closely the influence of youth culture, pop music, and new wave aesthetics on graphic design during the 1960s and ever since. Illustrated in full colour, “Communicate” features 350 images that range from classic designs of the sixties to the work of today’s emerging design teams, including record album covers for groups including The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and Roxy Music; political protest posters; psychedelic concert posters; typeface projects and signage; and designs for books, magazines, and film. Focusing on work from small, independent studios where creativity, rather than the bottom line, is paramount, the book includes projects by some 60 outstanding designers including Derek Birdsall, Richard Hollis, Neville Brody, Why Not Associates, and Scott King. Contributors to the volume trace how and why British graphic design has developed as it has, and interviews with ten key designers - Julian House, Ian Anderson, and Margaret Calvert among them - provide unique insider views of the design world.

Summary:
"U" (Upper & lower case) was a defining voice in world graphic design between 1973 and 1999. It was in some ways a lifestyle magazine for the design community, providing a fascinating intersection of popular culture and graphic design in the last quarter of the 20th century. The list of editorial contributors to "U" is long, many prominent designers worked on designing entire issues. Their best work is showcased in this book through the reproduction of selected covers, stories, and illustrations from the approximately 100 quarterly issues that were published. This book also contains four informal but in-depth chapters on the background, context, use of design and typography, and people involved in making "U" happen over the years.
