Designing Books : Practice and theory
order quantity
NZ$ 85.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Jost Hochuli & Robin Kinros
Published by:
Hyphen Press
Now available in paper, this newly revised and expanded classic in book design argues for a non-dogmatic approach, one open to both traditional and modern, and symmetrical and asymmetrical, solutions. A survey of Jost Hochuli's own work as a book designer featuring pages from a career of over 30 years is shown, along with detailed comments by noted designer and critic Robin Kinross.
"Hochuli has achieved his standing without any fuss, programme or manifesto, by sheer talent and persistence. As a designer, his main concern is to work out individual solutions for individual books. This books is sure to help anyone who is seeking to develop a considered attitude towards the design and production of the book as a codex. The use of the individual's own understanding is at the core of Hochuli's practice and theory." Fernand Baudin, "Logos"

AD Boy : Vintage Advertising with Character
order quantity
NZ$ 35.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Warren Dotz
Published by:
Ten Speed Press,U.S.
The postwar economic boom launched a generation of charming, cheeky, and relentlessly cheerful critters and characters that found their way into our homes - and our hearts - in print, on television, and on packaging. Some took detours that reflected the times (Elsie the Cow was sent into outer space in 1958). Some were fashion victims who survived (remember hippy Hush Puppies, circa 1969?). And some are no longer with us (the Frito Bandito was finally brought to justice in 1971). These endearingly offbeat characters are as fresh and entertaining today as they were creatively inspired in decades past.
More than 450 American ad characters, industry icons, and product personalities hailing from the 1950s, '60s, and '70s pack the pages of this vibrant, vintage collection.

Faber and Faber : Eighty Years of Book Cover Design

NZ$ 60.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Joseph Connolly
Published by:
Faber and Faber
Joseph Connolly - book collector, antiquarian dealer, and acclaimed novelist - has compiled an impassioned guide and love letter to the designers, artists and authors at the heart of Faber's design story. From its beginnings in the 1920s and 1930s on to the classic years of innovation under Berthold Wolpe after the War, and from the celebrated period of collaboration with Pentagram on to the modern day, here is, as he concludes in his preface, 'a lavish celebration of the art and beauty of these magnificent covers, from just the first eighty years'. Even gazing at these so slim spines, I was taken. And at the foot of each one, the word Faber. The vitality of the design, even on these very narrow spines, compelled me to slide out the books. And the covers! Oh my goodness, the covers...the color, strength and typography were not at all brash, but merely dynamic: here, I thought, was splendor. And it was the covers that encouraged me to ...

Telling Tales : Narrative in design art

NZ$ 65.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Gareth Williams
Published by:
V & A Publishing
The links between contemporary design, history and the imagination form the background for this beautiful and unprecedented exploration of Design Art. Addressing works by designers including Jurgen Bey, Tord Boontje, Dunne + Raby and Studio Job, Gareth Williams explores how overtly functional objects - 'designed' objects - can be made to carry meanings and associations, or tell tales. As contemporary design practice, the art market and art itself become more and more integrated, reflecting the merging of art, craft and design, this exciting book offers a valuable and perceptive assessment of our ability to read Design Art objects with the critical tools traditionally associated with painting, sculpture and literary theory.

Carolyn Hares-Stryker
Published by:
McFarland & Co Inc.,U.S.
A beloved children's novel read around the world, Kenneth Grahame's "The Wind in the Willows" has been published in dozens of editions since 1908, almost all of which are fondly remembered for their exceptional illustrations. This book presents for the first time all the artists who have ever illustrated a version of "The Wind in the Willows", from the famous - such as Arthur Rackham, Ernest Shepard, Inga Moore, and Robert Ingpen - to the lesser known. In all, over 90 artists are profiled, with each entry providing an overview of the artist's life and artistic approach. A number of black and white illustrations created by each artist accompanies most entries, and whenever possible, information taken from personal interviews with the artists is also included.
