In 1985, Berkeley-based graphic design company Emigre, the publisher of the legendary design magazine of the same name, launched one of the first independent digital type foundries to explore the new design possibilities offered by the MacIntosh computer. To announce each of their new typeface releases, Emigre published small booklets displaying the virtues of the fonts and revealing the processes used to design them. By creating specific contexts, many of these so called "type specimens" went beyond being simple sales tools. In fact the Emigre booklets were meant to be enjoyed as much for the typefaces as for their esoteric content.

In 1984 a radically new graphic design magazine set out to explore the as-yet-untapped and uncharted possibilities of Macintosh-generated graphic design. Boldly new and different, Emigre broke rules, opened eyes and earned its creators, Rudy VanderLans and Zuzana Licko, cult status in the world of graphic design. After a decade of publishing, the jury is still out on Emigre. But now, thanks to this comprehensive 10-year retrospective, you can reach your own conclusions. Are Emigre’s Mac-generated graphics important, influential and controversial…or just plain ugly? You decide. "The only people who have trouble reading Emigre are graphic designers who have been trained to make type clear. The rest of the world doesn’t live in that purist atmosphere." —Chuck Byrne, Print Magazine, September 1992 Here gathered together for the first time, you’ll find: Every Emigre cover ever issued A full catalog of over 80 Emigre typefaces Emigre’s most striking editorial layouts Plus stimulating and provocative commentary from both Rudy VanderLans and Zuzana Licko How has a magazine that prints just 7,000 copies managed to outrage so many graphic designers while inspiring so many others? The answer is in your hands.

Download Emigre Number Seventy Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
"Fueled by Emigre's successful digital type foundry, the magazine became one of the most popular and controversial graphic design magazines of its time. 69 issues were published in a variety of formats, featuring in-depth interviews with fellow design trailblazers and critical essays by an emerging group of young design writers. This book, designed and edited by Emigre co-founder and designer Rudy VanderLans, is a selection of reprints, using original digital files, tracing Emigre s development from its early bitmap design days in the late 1980s through to the experimental layouts that defined the so called Legibility Wars of the late 1990s, to the critical design writing of the early 2000s." - product description.

Download Type Now Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
"In the mid-1980s - with the widespread adoption of the personal computer and small laser printers, with the introduction of cheap software packages for making pages and typefaces - a revolution in typography was set in train. Among several unforeseen consequences was an overthrow of the old way of making typefaces: the initiative passed from the old industrially-based companies to small, often one- or two-person outfits. Now we are far enough into this new era to begin to make an assessment." "The first part of this book is a personal statement. Fred Smeijers considers the gains and also the illusions and pitfalls of technical advance. Bringing a deep historical awareness to bear on the topic, he puts this brief recent phase into perspective. Along the way are sharp remarks on the place of the designer in the social world, on the question of copying and copyright. This realistic view brings high-flown pretensions down to earth, yet puts forward a more solid and enduring vision. Smeijers ends this modest manifesto with a new code of conduct for designers." "The second part of the book presents Smeijers's own work as a type designer and graphic designer, over twenty years. It shows all his types and fonts, including several that have until now been hidden from public view, and includes the designer's own narrative of his work so far." "The book has been made in connection with the award to Fred Smeijers of the Gorrit Noordzij Prize, in recognition of his contribution as a designer, teacher, and writer." --Book Jacket.

Download Just My Type Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Just My Type is not just a font book, but a book of stories. About how Helvetica and Comic Sans took over the world. About why Barack Obama opted for Gotham, while Amy Winehouse found her soul in 30s Art Deco. About the great originators of type, from Baskerville to Zapf, or people like Neville Brody who threw out the rulebook, or Margaret Calvert, who invented the motorway signs that are used from Watford Gap to Abu Dhabi. About the pivotal moment when fonts left the world of Letraset and were loaded onto computers ... and typefaces became something we realised we all have an opinion about. As the Sunday Times review put it, the book is 'a kind of Eats, Shoots and Leaves for letters, revealing the extent to which fonts are not only shaped by but also define the world in which we live.' This edition is available with both black and silver covers.

Download Emigre: Nudging Graphic Design - #66 Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Kenneth FitzGerald proposes that the objective of design, to create a class of expert professional practitioners, can - and should - only lead to its demise as a specialist profession. Lorraine Wild and Sam Potts respond, separately, to the publication of Rick Poynor's recent book "No More Rules: Graphic Design and Postmodernism." Eric Heiman urges designers to "think wrong" and refocus their creative energies to solving non-commercial, more socially motivated problems. Jeffery Keedy gives us a list of some of the most popular but dumb ideas in design. Ben Hagon warns that without a significant change in the method by which we create work, Joe Client will, in time, do our graphic design work for us. Kali Nikitas and Louise Sandhaus respond to the criticism levelled at their conversation "Visitations" which was published in Emigre #64. And Emigre interviews Armin Vit, the founder of Speak Up, design's most successful blog, and David Cabianca who discusses the value of design theory and criticism. Plus, the Readers Respond, featuring letters from around the world in response to past issues of Emigre magazine.

With more than 2,000 design projects illustrating more than 400 entries, it provides an intense overview of the varied elements that make up the graphic design profession through a unique set of chapters: “principles" defines the very basic foundation of what constitutes graphic design to establish the language, terms, and concepts that govern what we do and how we do it, covering layout, typography, and printing terms; “knowledge" explores the most influential sources through which we learn about graphic design from the educational institutions we attend to the magazines and books we read; “representatives" gathers the designers who over the years have proven the most prominent or have steered the course of graphic design in one way or another; and “practice" highlights some of the most iconic work produced that not only serve as examples of best practices, but also illustrate its potential lasting legacy.
