Synopsis
Collective visual memory synthesized in today's graphic design and illustration.
Today's young graphic designers and illustrators are increasingly taking their visual cues from classic modernism, letterpress printing, and other design styles of the past and using them in their current work. They are not copying them, but rather, they are synthesizing them to create a new aesthetic that emanates quality, timelessness, and sustainability. It is only when confronted with genuine examples from the past that one realizes how clearly different the contemporary work is.
Echoes of the Future presents the further evolution of this style trend. The book features recent graphic design and illustration that is deliberately created with a limited palette of forms and colors, which makes the work seem older than it is. The aspiration to visual longevity contrasts sharply with the rapidly shifting styles of previous years that seemed out-of-date almost immediately. Especially in these times of economic uncertainty, more and more brands, products, and businesses are using designs that promote the impression of stability.
Echoes of the Future is a stunning compilation of outstanding work inspired by a collective visual memory that is as contemporary as it is timeless.

Echoes of the Future
Seller: Bookbot, Prague, Czech Republic
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Fine. Leichte Risse. Heute beziehen junge Grafiker zunehmend Prinzipien der klassischen Moderne und anderer Stile der Vergangenheit wie Letterpress in den Gestaltungsprozess ein. Statt sie zu kopieren, werden sie so synthetisiert, dass eine neue Ästhetik daraus entsteht, die trotzdem hochwertig, zeitlos und nachhaltig wirkt. Erst wenn man historische Beispiele von Gebrauchsgrafik betrachtet, wird einem klar, wie deutlich die heutigen Arbeiten sich davon unterscheiden. Jetzt zeigt Echoes of the Future die weitere Evolution dieser aktuellen gestalterischen Entwicklung. Das Buch versammelt Grafikdesign und Illustration, die weitgehend mit einer bewusst eingeschränkten Palette an Stilmitteln geschaffen wurden. So entstehen Arbeiten, die älter wirken und Langlebigkeit ausstrahlen. Diese angestrebte Nachhaltigkeit steht im Gegensatz zum schnellen Wechsel von Stilen in den letzten Jahren und der visuellen Vergreisung, die daraus entsteht. Gerade in unsicheren wirtschaftlichen Zeiten nutzen Marken, Produkte und Geschäfte besonders oft eine Visualisierung, die den Eindruck von Seriosität und Dauerhaftigkeit vermittelt. Echoes of the Future ist eine inspirierende Kollektion von hervorragenden Arbeiten, die ein kollektives visuelles Gedächtnis bedienen und dabei ebenso zeitgemäß wie zeitlos sind.
