• Graphic-design guru Steven Heller turns his encyclopedic gaze on Modernism in contemporary typography.

• In the same format as Steven Heller’s earlier, highly successful books with Thames & Hudson, Handwritten (978 0 500 285954), New Vintage Type (978 0 500 288184) and New Ornamental Type (978 0 500 515020).

• Whether in its rejection of visual clutter, celebrations of the Modernist aesthetic or pure minimalism, this work seeks timeless form.

Contents

Introduction • Economy, Pure and Simple: Returning to the idea that less is indeed more • Old Modern Redux: Homage and pastiche bring back Bauhaus, Constructivism, Russian Constructivism, De Stijl and more • Modern Signs and Symbols: Pictographs for the 21st Century • New, Newer, Newest: What the next phase of Modernism will look like

Author

Stephen Heller is the co-chair of the MFA Designer as Author Department at New York’s School of Visual Arts. Gail Anderson is creative director of design at SpotCo, New York, and a former senior art director of Rolling Stone magazine.

Classic modern design never goes out of style: it is merely retired or subtly

adapted to its given place and time. New Modernist Type is a collection that

reveals how a graphic language of simplicity and economy has impacted

contemporary design. Hundreds of modern examples by international

designers are grouped into four thematic chapters: ‘Economy, Pure and

Simple’; ‘Old Modern Redux’; ‘Modern Signs and Symbols’; and ‘New, Newer,

Newest’. With an historical introduction putting today’s tendencies in

context and a reference section that includes a list of designers’ websites,

New Modernist Type is a rich sourcebook of ideas for the most functional

of styles.

• This ambitious monograph is a rare document and insight into the work and minds of Europe’s most intriguing – and iconoclastic – imagemakers on the occasion of their twentieth anniversary.

• The duo’s idiosyncratic visual language is brilliantly showcased here in hundreds of illustrations and photographs of their cutting-edge work.

• Interviews with other graphic designers, musicians, fashion designers, artists and curators, as well as Amzalag and Augustyniak themselves, tell M/M’s story, reveal their areas of interest and their process and define their position both within graphic design and beyond.

• Among the stars with whom they have collaborated are Yohji Yamamoto, Sarah Morris, Björk, Nicolas Ghesquière, Jil Sander, Kenzo, Givenchy and Calvin Klein.

• Some of their images are instantly recognizable to the world at large – the cover of Madonna’s American Life, for example – some are less well known, but highly regarded among the design cognoscenti.

• Print and an illustrative approach to typography lies at the heart of M/M’s work, but they have also produced 3D designs for the stage, restaurants and perfume, and that work is also reproduced here.

Author

Emily King is a graphic design historian and curator who has written widely on design-related subjects.

Michael Amzalag and Mathias Augustyniak formed their design studio M/M

in Paris in 1992; it is now recognized as one of the most distinctive and

acclaimed voices in graphic design. Their close associations with the music,

fashion and art worlds have led to them becoming one of this generation’s

most distinctive and influential voices in graphic design. Each work they

produce is unique, but elements of their design recur and reverberate,

leitmotifs in a larger graphic narrative that is somehow unified, despite

the range of their output.

Published to mark their twentieth anniversary, here is the definitive

monograph and record of hundreds of their mind-blowing projects.

With texts by graphic-design historian Emily King, interviews with key

collaborators such as Björk and photographer Inez van Lamsweerde, and

a design by London’s Graphic Design Facility, this book presents projects

alphabetically from ‘M’ to ‘M’.

• Hot on the heels of Steven Heller’s bestselling Typography Sketchbooks and Graphic: Inside the Sketchbooks of the World’s Great Graphic Designers, a privileged look inside the private notebooks of nearly 80 international comics creators.

• Represents a wide range of comic art from around the world, from political cartoons to off-beat graphic stories, from the ‘funnies’ to underground comics.

• Shows in-progress designs, scribbles and sketches, research, experiments with visual ideas, image-and-word play, and narrative sequencing.

• Selected by the world’s most knowledgeable and well-connected graphic design commentator, Steven Heller, who through his direct personal contact provides invaluable commentary on each artist’s development, design philosophies, techniques and influences.

• Contributors include both world-renowned and up-and-coming talents: Posy Simmonds, Simon Tofield, Peter Blegvad, Rian Hughes and Run Wrake (UK); Robert Crumb, Seymour Chwast, Jim Steranko, Gary Panter, Victor Moscoso, Kim Deitch and Arnold Roth (US); Rutu Modan (Israel); Marcel Ruijters and Joost Swarte (the Netherlands); Cyril Guru and Colonel Moutarde (France); Javier Mariscal (Spain); and Seth (Canada), to name just a few.

Author

Steven Heller is co-chair of the MFA Design: Designer as Author Programme at the School of Visual Arts, New York. He is the author, editor and co-editor of over 100 books on design and popular culture, including Graphic, Typography Sketchbooks, Scripts, New Ornamental Type, New Vintage Type and Handwritten, all published by Thames & Hudson.

From cartoons to the graphic novel, from humour to superheroes, comics

are the world’s most popular form of illustration. However, we rarely see the

creative thinking – the doodling, the experimentation – that leads to fully

formed visual ideas and stories. Comics Sketchbooks presents the private

notebooks of 76 of the world’s most inventive, innovative and successful

artists, alongside new talents and emerging illustrators, in a breathtaking

range of creative play. Although there have been several comic-book

compilations over the years, none has the visual excitement, creative insight

and mind-blowing creativity – and fun – of Comics Sketchbooks. POW!!!!

• Over 100 of the most eye-catching and iconic British wartime posters and proclamations from the Imperial War Museum’s renowned collection.

• Includes 62 perforated posters to detach and display.

• Selected from over 30,000 proclamations in the Imperial War Museum’s collections.

• Full of messages that encourage resolve and resourcefulness in these interesting times.

• A quirky sourcebook of graphic style for designers everywhere, and a treasure trove of nostalgia for everyone else.

This book reproduces the best of the Imperial War Museum’s collection of

over 30,000 British Government wartime posters and proclamations, mostly

from the First and Second World Wars, and most forgotten after their initial

use. ‘Eat Greens for Health’, ‘Beer: A Necessity to the Strength of Britain’,

‘Fit Men Wanted’, ‘Victory is in the Kitchen’, ‘The Supreme Test of British

Womanhood Comes Now’: such stirring messages exhorted citizens to

do their bit for the war effort. Today they seem charmingly innocent,

quintessentially British, and often very funny. The posters that bear them

are a treasury of vintage graphics. Like the much-loved ‘Keep Calm and

Carry On’ poster, these proclamations are just what we need to keep

a stiff upper lip and a sense of humour in our own troubled times.

Thomas Kolster is a Danish media and advertising strategist and founder of the creative agency Inkognito.

Can advertising be a force for good? Can it bring about positive social or

environmental change? Should it tell the truth about a brand? With today’s

consumers being more informed, empowered and ethically minded than ever,

advertising needs to do all those things and more. An agency can’t simply

state that their client’s brand or product is good: the advertising has to

communicate that the client is actively being and doing good.

Goodvertising showcases outstanding creative work from over 120

campaigns from around the world, organized into 10 ‘Commitment’ chapters.

Each campaign is from a leading agency working in the full spectrum of

media channels for an international array of clients, be they corporations

or charities. For any advertising or branding professional, this timely and

much-needed book will provide inspiration and insights into how being good

doesn’t lead to dull advertising.

• Subject applies to professionals, students and teachers from across a wide spectrum of creative industries – design, art, fashion, technology, biology and architecture.

• Bioluminescent algae, symbiotic aquariums, self-healing concrete, clavicle wind instruments and structures made from living trees – biology applied outside the lab has never been so intriguing, or so beautiful.

Author

William Myers is a graduate of the School of Visual Arts’ MFA program in design criticism. He currently teaches design history at Hunter College and works for the Museum of Modern Art.

Designers and artists have always looked to nature for inspiration and

materials, but only recently have they been able to alter and incorporate

living organisms in their work. In a world with finite resources and a growing

population, design that mimics or appropriates the sustainable template

of nature is likely to prove as vital as it is novel. Bio Design examines some

seventy projects (concepts, prototypes and completed designs) that cover

the fields of architecture, industrial processes, education, fine art, material

engineering and bioengineering. Each project is illustrated by a short text,

images and captions that combine to explain the problems the venture

tackles, and how living materials and processes were harnessed to solve

them in sustainable and aesthetically pleasing ways. Many of the solutions

also provoke thought about manipulating life for human ends. From bacteria

that can spin microfibrils of pure cellulose for use in the clothing industry to

pigeons that – fed special bacteria – excrete harmless detergent instead of

faeces, and from lamps that require blood to function to genetically hacked

plants with human DNA – biological design is science future here and now.
