Book excerpt: Vaughan Oliver is one of the most powerful and explosive graphic designers of his time. This Rimy River is a catalog of an exhibition held at the Pacific Design Center in Los Angeles in 1994. Long out of print, it has been sought after by designers and collectors who have followed the work of V23. Most admired for his collaborative energy and imagination, Oliver set the stage for a graphic revolution in the eighties and nineties. His impact was left on the post-punk music industry and influenced a generation of designers exploring the possibilities of type and print. The book is produced in very high caliber, the process of production being an important element of the design. Those who have worked with Vaughan Oliver and V23 as collaborators or clients describe their recollections of the V23 design experience in probing commentary alongside the works shown.

Regularly topping the national poetry best-seller list and drawing thousands to her sold-out readings across the coutnry, Oliver is unparalleled in her impact. As noted in the Los Angeles Times, so many "go to her for solace, regeneration and inspiration" that it is not surprising Vice President Joe Biden chose to read one of her poems during the 9/11 remembrance at Ground Zero. Few poets express the complexities of human experience as skillfully as Mary Oliver. This volume, Oliver's twenty-first book of poetry, contains all new poems on her classic themes. Here, readers will find the deep spiritual sustenance that imbues her writing on nature, love, mortality, and grief. As always, Oliver is an accomplished guide to the rarest and most exquisite insights of the natural world. Ranking "among the finest poets the English language has ever produced," according to the Weekly Standard, Oliver offers us lyrics of great depth and beauty that continue her lifelong work of loving the world.

Download or read book Sketchbook written by Timothy O'Donnell and published by Fair Winds Press. This book was released on 2011-09 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores influential designers’ sketchbooks as a truer reflection of a designer’s thought processes, preoccupations, and problem-solving strategies than can be had by simply viewing finished projects. Highly personal and idiosyncratic, sketchbooks offer an arena for unstructured exploration, a space free from all budgetary and client constraints. Visually arresting objects in their own right, this book aims to elevate sketches from mere ephemera to important documents where the reader can glean valuable insight into the creative process, and apply it to their own practices. Featured designers include Ralph Caplan, Nigel Holmes, Chris Bigg, Eva Jiricna, Jason Munn, Gary Baseman, Marian Bantjes, and many others.

Download or read book Impact 2.0 written by Tony Brook and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2023-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book you will find the covers of design magazines, journals and periodicals of all kinds. They cover many topics - graphic design, typography, architecture, interiors, print, theory and history. But above all, they are brilliant specimens of innovative visual design. There's no better place to view the stylistic rollercoaster of graphic design than the covers of design magazines - it's a fast-track education in the history of design and typography. As Steven Heller notes: "As we head deeper into the age of hand-held devices, covers will become obsolete. So, it is for this reason that preserving and archiving these documents of international design, one cover at a time, is beyond useful."

Download or read book VNIITE written by Aleksandra Sanʹkova and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Formed in Soviet Russia in 1962, by the design visionary Yuri Soloviev, this vast network contained Moscow?s most progressive designers. The ?Vniitians?, as they were called, designed for the future and developed new theories and approaches to design in the USSR.0But more than ?fty years later, the organisation is all but forgotten. It?s hard to fathom how such an institution, dedicated to the promotion of utopian design, in theory and in practice, and the improvement of design standards within the Soviet Union, could have faded so far from view. After the disintegration of the USSR, the VNIITE and its library of images and prototypes were presumed lost. 0Until now, that is. Thanks to the efforts of the Moscow Design Museum ? and the discovery of the personal archives of some of the VNIITE designers ? the story of this remarkable organisation is being pieced back together.0Alongside images of sketches, models and prototypes, the book also includes a selection of covers of one of the USSR?s hidden gems of graphic design ? the VNIITE?s monthly journal, 'Technical Aesthetics'. Showcased together for the first time, these covers chart Soviet graphic trends from the 1960s to the early 1990s.
Download or read book Lightstream written by Nigel Grierson and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new book from photographer Nigel Grierson, joint creator of the legendary 4AD visual identity Beautiful illusory photography, by way of long exposures Lightstream represents Nigel Grierson's most recent foray into photographic abstraction as he makes long exposures of figures beside the light of the ocean. Taking the maxim from Dieter Appelt "A snapshot steals life that it cannot return. A long exposure (creates) a form that never existed", Grierson makes beautiful images, which on the surface might appear to owe as much to the medium of painting as they do to photography. However, it is important to him that these are un-manipulated images straight from the camera: "From the outset, my work has been largely about 'photographic seeing' as I'm fascinated by what Garry Winogrand so simply described as 'how something looks when photographed'. Hence, a sense of discovery within the work itself is very important to me; finding something new that I didn't already know. There's a huge element of 'chance, and the embrace of the happy accident within this approach, which is a sort of photographic equivalent of action painting. I'm often more interested in what something suggests rather than what it actually is, each image becoming a starting point for our imagination as it edges towards abstraction". Yet what is unique about photography is that it always keeps something of the original subject. So there's a dynamic duality, a dramatic to and fro in the viewer's mind, between what it is and what it suggests. The marks and traces created by the moving light, at times have a simplicity like a child's drawings. On occasion, the residue of a human figure might be reduced to little more than their posture or demeanor, which then seems more significant than ever, a sort of essence, whether that be elusive or illusive.
Book Synopsis The Greatest Albums You'll Never Hear by : Bruno MacDonald
Download or read book The Greatest Albums You'll Never Hear written by Bruno MacDonald and published by White Lion Publishing. This book was released on 2014-09-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Pink Floyd album with no instruments. A Sex Pistols record more incendiary than 'Never Mind The Bollocks'. A sci-fi rock opera by Weezer. Rock 'n' roll history is littered with intriguing albums that never saw the light of day, let alone the charts. Self-destructive ambition, intra-band turmoil, record-company politics and even death have all played their part in creating a fascinating sub-genre of mythic masterpieces. Now, 'The Greatest Albums You'll Never Hear' untangles the twists of fate, the fights and the sheer bad luck that prevented these sonic gems from being pressed. Spanning more than half a century of music from all genres, these tales take in legends such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and David Bowie, cult heroes like Brian Eno and Frank Zappa, and contemporary artists, including Green Day and Dr Dre.

Download or read book Letraset written by Adrian Shaughnessy and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2023-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Letraset: The DIY Typography Revolution is the first comprehensive history of Letraset, the rubdown lettering system that revolutionised typographic expression. The book tells the Letraset story from its early days as a difficult-to-use wet system, to its glory years as the first truly democratic alternative to professional typesetting. The book also looks at Letraset's present-day revival amongst a new set of admirers who recognise the typographic excellence of the system's typefaces. The book comes with a gatefold Letraset timeline. It has an introduction by Malcolm Garrett, and features in-depth interviews with Mr Bingo, Erik Brandt, Aaron Marcus, David Quay, Dan Rhatigan, Freda Sack, Andy Stevens and Jon Wozencroft. Essays by Colin Brignall, Dave Farey and Mike Daines - all key members of the Letraset team - provide expert insight into the rise of Letraset as a typographic and commercial powerhouse. A central essay by Adrian Shaughnessy examines the typographic and cultural impact of the system. The book's design is by the Spin team of Tony Brook and Claudia Klat. It uses many rare specimens from Letraset's past - catalogues, press ads, mailers, storage units, and of course, sheets of classic Letraset typefaces.
