About the Author
The publishing trademark 279 Editions was formed in 2005 as a synonym of creative initiative: a catalyst for visual artists, centering on the figure of graphic designer Franco Cervi, with the aim of offering a contemporary vision of Graphic Design, often orientated today toward the publication of consumer graphics. The synergy of personalities leads to a collection of book-projects, designed with unusual formal elegance, in which the extreme minimalist graphics of Franco Cervi stand out, along with the refined, sharp style of the artist (photographer, illustrator, designer) involved, book by book, in the creation of a new, original work. In this case the publisher does not play his usual role, but also functions as deus ex machina of the operation, acting as both art director and graphic designer. 279 Editions is an independent publishing house, far from the logic of pure commercial profit, offering a style that goes against current trends, making this anomaly into a strong point.

Improntato a tre parole chiave - passion, vision, fun - il volume è organizzato in cinque sezioni: 3d, cmyk (print), dna (logos and corporate identity), typo (typography), xl (xtra ludic) commentate dalla studiosa di linguaggi contemporanei Porzia Bergamasco. Completano l'opera un'intervista dell'autore rilasciata all'artista londinese John Angelo Benson e un'introduzione del freelance writer Virginio Briatore. Volume potente ed articolato, affronta un'intera gamma di design sperimentale in cui la logica secchezza del simbolo diventa protagonista assoluto. ".interessante per i designer che vogliano avere una panoramica sulle ultime produzioni, sempre tese a trovare nuovi confini di poetica, estetica e tecnologia. E, come è scritto in una breve introduzione, 'Tutto ha inizio con quel processo liberatorio che l'uso del computer ha innescato nella progettazione'". D La Repubblica delle Donne "Velocità pura: viene in mente sfogliando questo volume nel quale Franco Cervi, ancorché progettista di giovane età, si presenta con nutritissima raffica di artefatti grafici. (.) Iceberg vitale e asciutto che il formato piccolo e quadrato invoglia a leggere come espressione di un forte vitalismo progettuale". Artlab. Libro. Seller Inventory # 1548411
