Synopsis
Young designers and publishers are ringing in a new era for printed books—one that is likely to be the most exciting in their entire history. Digital media are disappointing for books. All books look the same on an iPad, for example. On a monitor, a book isn’t thick or thin, big or small. Features such as a Japanese binding, embossing, letterpress printing, or gilt edging are only possible in print. Consequently, it isn’t surprising that young, contemporary designers, publishers, typographers, illustrators, and editors are enthusiastically ringing in a new era for printed books. Fully Booked: Ink on Paper is a collection of books, magazines, and other printed products that celebrate the distinctiveness of design, materials, techniques, workmanship, and production methods—and push their limits. It showcases publications whose innovative printing and binding befit their unconventional subject matter or radical editorial and design concepts. The tactile experience is as indispensable for the included editors, authors, and designers as it is for their readers. Examples range from personal projects with the smallest print runs to premium artist books or brand publications. Featuring work by groundbreaking design studios, such as A Practice for Everyday Life, Akatre, Joost Grootens, Julia Hasting, Konst & Teknik, Niessen & de Vries, Raffinerie AG, Studio Laucke Siebein, and Two Points.Net, this book documents current experiments and future possibilities for printed publications. Its stunning range of visual examples are put into context by texts from print expert Andrew Losowsky, who is also co-editor. Fully Booked: Ink on Paper makes clear that the most exciting phase in the history of printed matter has just begun.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Risse. Digitale Medien wirken oft eintönig, da das iPad keine Unterschiede zwischen dicken oder dünnen, großen oder kleinen Büchern zeigt. Aspekte wie gelesene Seiten, japanische Bindungen, Prägungen, Stanzungen, Letterpress oder Goldschnitt sind auf dem Bildschirm nicht erlebbar. Daher ist es nicht überraschend, dass zeitgenössische Gestalter, Verlage, Typografen, Illustratoren und Herausgeber mit Begeisterung eine neue Ära des Druckens einleiten. Die Sammlung versammelt Bücher, Magazine und andere Print-Produkte, die die Besonderheiten von Materialien, Techniken und Fertigungsprozessen feiern und herausfordern. Unkonventionelle Themen und radikale Konzepte finden durch Druck und Bindung ihre Form. Das taktile Erlebnis des Blätterns in gedruckten Publikationen hat für Herausgeber, Autoren und Leser eine hohe emotionale Qualität, sowohl bei kleinen Auflagen persönlicher Projekte als auch bei hochwertigen Künstler- oder Markenbüchern. Arbeiten von Designstudios wie A Practice for Everyday Life, Akatre, Joost Grootens und anderen sowie Texte von Print-Experten dokumentieren die Vielfalt und Experimentierfreude in der Druckkunst. Wir befinden uns in einer spannenden Phase der Druckgeschichte. Seller Inventory # e6ade8c0-b39b-451f-bbd5-41f45f2e0534
