Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Swiss designer and artist Karl Gerstner (1930-2017) had a significant influence on typography and the history and development of postwar graphic design. Designing Programmes is one of his most important and influential works. It was first published in 1964, and reissued in a new design by Lars Mueller Publishers in 2007; both editions are now rare (the first almost completely unavailable). Now, Lars Mueller reissues the book with its original design. Here, across four essays, Gerstner provides a basic introduction to his design methodology and suggests a model for design in the early days of the computer era. Gerstner's innovation was to propose a rule set or system defined by the designer that would determine all aesthetic decisions for a given product: for example, a logo might also function as a layout grid system or inspire a font. Today the book is especially topical in the context of current developments in computational design. With many examples from the worlds of graphic and product design, music, architecture and art, Designing Programmes inspires the reader to seize on the material, develop it further, and integrate it into his or her own work. 175 illustrations A must-have for all design enthusiasts Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Karl Gerstners Arbeiten gehören zu den bedeutendsten Werken in der Geschichte des Grafikdesigns. In «Designing Programmes» beschreibt der Gestalter in vier Essays sein Designkonzept, das nicht nur in der Anfangszeit der Computer-Ära eine Grundlage für das Entwerfen bot, sondern auch im Zeitalter digitaler Technologien zentraler denn je ist. Das Buch ist Gerstners bekannteste Publikation und, angesichts der aktuellen Entwicklungen, ein Meilenstein im Bereich der programmierten Gestaltung.Die zahlreichen Beispiele aus den Bereichen Grafik, Industriedesign, Musik, Architektur und Kunst inspirieren die LeserInnen zur spielerischen Auseinandersetzung mit Gerstners Methodik, die sich einfach implementieren und weiterentwickeln lässt.«Designing Programmes» wurde erstmals 1964 veröffentlicht. 2007 erschien bei Lars Müller Publishers eine neugestaltete Version des Buches. Die aktuelle Ausgabe der Publikation entspricht dem originalen Design Karl Gerstners. Seller Inventory # 9783037785782
