Questa ragazza è specializzata nelle scritte a mano ed è davvero brava.
Trovo la sua grafica davvero carina e fresca anche se mi da una sensazione di dejavu.

Se vi piacciono le scritte a mano tra l’altro c’è un bel libro da comprare… Hand Job: A Catalog of Type (Paperback)

Amaznode

Avete presente quando cercate un libro su Amazon e lui stesso ve ne propone di simili? Bene, ora questa cosa è diventata visuale e vi permette di cercare un testo e vedere tutti i libri che possono esservi collegati in termini di tipologia o magari tematica.

La ricerca permette di trovare musica, libri, videogiochi, dvd etc… e non è necessario inserire un titolo preciso, funziona (credo) anche solo con delle keyword.

Provatelo!

Mini _ Il libro

MINI The Book is a look at history through the eyes of the Mini Cooper since its iconic birth in 1959.

Since its creation the Mini has inspired generations with its practicality, sensibility and personality. The passion generated by its owners and admirers is rare for any brand or object, let alone an automobile. This book is a comprehensive look at the car, the brand and the people who created it and who admire it.

Mini commissioned photographers (including Jay FC, Olaf Heine and the Sanchez Brothers) to create works celebrating the Mini. Paul Smith and Mary Quant, both long time Mini owners and fans, explain how the Mini was a reflection of popular culture, how it impacted their work, and why they created their own special editions of the car.

We also get a behind-the-scenes look at the people who designed the car, and its iconic marketing efforts are also chronicled.

MINI The Book is available at Amazon.

Libro sui pittogrammi

Book Review: Otl Aicher, by Markus Rathgeb

The lasting influence of the pictograms Otl Aicher developed for the 1972 Olympics in Munich may still be seen in European airports and public facilities to this day. Using stark white and black geometric forms arranged on a grid, Aicher developed a comprehensive visual language that could be easily be understood by viewers of all nationalities.

For graphic designers interested in the history of visual iconography, Markus Rathgeb’s monograph of Aicher’s life proves a valuable resource, but it deserves a wider audience. Since designers don’t have the opportunity to see their own career through the lens of a retrospective until its end, this elegant account of one designer’s life provides ample lessons for those of us at the beginning.

Much of the design of the seventies almost invites ridicule when seen through modern eyes, and regrettably, some of Aicher’s graphics share those traits. Though his Olympics posters easily betray their age, some others pieces of his work exhibit a timeless harmony. Clearly, the question of why some designs retain their charm while others seem out-of-touch is something that designers should hold in their subconscious throughout the entire design process.
