Poster Graphics

Despite the vast changes in the technology of information distribution,
the good old, two-dimensional, printed-on-paper poster is still the
unrivaled king of advertising. No genre of design better illustrates Charles
Eames famous dictum: Design is a plan for arranging elements in such
a way as best to accomplish a particular purpose. This inspirational
collection of 300 recent posters from around the world proves that the
poster is thriving. Richly illustrated, the selection goes far beyond
commercial advertising, straight to the front lines of contemporary design
practice, considering the poster as perhaps the most experimental form
of graphic work today. A must-have for design libraries, the book includes
work by young design greats as HORT (Berlin) and Atlas Studio (Zurich)
plus a complete index with short bios of each designer in Japanese
and English.
