Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. New York-based design studio Karlssonwilker take on 'America' in the debut issue of ON, Unit's new print platform where designers examine a single subject.For ON #1, Karlssonwilker examine their adopted home of America in their own inimitable style. As outsiders who have been working in the US for 18 years, Jan Wilker and Hjalti Karlsson - German and Icelandic, respectively - offer up "a compilation of our thoughts and observations on our surroundings and encounters throughout our years in New York".The result is a heady mixture of graphics, illustration and photography; charts, diagrams, (definitely not fake) facts and wry observations, centred around an extensive Q&A between Wilker and Unit's Adrian Shaughnessy.From thoughts on "design as entertainment" to discussing the challenges of running a design studio in the city that never sleeps, the interview sees Wilker recount his first, eventful 24-hours in New York City in 1999 and frames the studio's recent move to Ridgewood, Queens after 16 years in Manhattan."Over time, we have been slowly digested, and the edges of our hesitation and European arrogance softened away, to be replaced by something American that we now treat as if it had always been part of us."

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book is a near facsimile of the one-off, leather-bound 'sketchbook' that Lance Wyman made to catalogue his design process for the creation of a logo and graphic identity for the 1976 USA Bicentennial celebrations to mark the creation of the USA as an independent republic. This is a record of the creative process that Wyman went through to arrive at a refined and workable solution. It is rare for designers to reveal so much of their inner workings, and even rarer for it to be documented with this degree of thoroughness - but Lance Wyman is no ordinary designer. The work was done in Mexico in 1970 - Wyman had gone there to design the graphics for the Mexico 68 Olympics. But in 1971 he returned to the USA, and to a design scene that was markedly different from the one he had left. For a start, he had acquired a stellar reputation. One year after Wyman's return to New York, Richard M Nixon, the 37th president of the USA, instigated Federal Design Improvement Program, a far ranging initiative aimed at producing better design for government funded projects. Wyman was to work on numerous projects that came from this, some of them amongst the most celebrated of his career: National Zoo (1975), Washington Mall (1975), Minnesota Zoo (1979). But before working on any of these large-scale civic projects, he took part in a competition to design the graphics for the Bicentennial celebrations. As can be seen in the pages of this book, Wyman approached the task with his customary mix of graphic rigor and visual ingenuity. In an opening interview with Adrian Shaunghnessy, Wyman explains the genesis of the project, the reasons why it was never implemented and discusses the importance of process in any designer's work. 'There is a role for this book to show process, to show how a concept is the first step, and how an idea is refined over time. It's a process. It's not instant.'

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Eating With The Eyes is a visual mediation and a photographic recording of accidental events spanning over a decade and collected from Harry Pearce's journeys around the world.Harry Pearce is a Pentagram partner, eternal optimist, human rights activist, dream diary keeper, graphic designer, accidentalist and photographer. Harry's photographs are the culmination of a lifetime of practice that began during his childhood in the West Country, when his father gifted him with a Pentax camera. From this point onwards, Harry began meticulously documenting quirks, human interventions and coincidences. From these images he began to piece together a sometimes tragic, sometimes funny and always poignant continuity and rhythm in the world that surrounds us.Pearce says, "I get lost in the process of recording seemingly accidental events. As time has passed, I've come to realise that there are no true accidents, only ideas trying to find us. We are surrounded by a constant stream of ideas, insights and visions. Every moment in every place. Abstract and accidental as they may seem, they are to my eyes precise, illuminating and elevating."The book - which features an introduction from Charles Saumarez Smith, the CEO of the Royal Academy of Art, is an insight into Pearce's mind and shows a fundamental part of his process as a graphic designer.Over the past three decades Pearce has worked with some of the worlds best-known brands and artists, to devise identities, installations, posters, packaging, and books. These include: the Royal Academy of Arts, John Lewis, Phaidon Press, Saks Fifth Avenue, Lloyds of London, Ai Weiwei, Anish Kapoor and the UN.This edition comes in two colour combinations (brown and grey) that will be shipped to customers at random.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Written by the Moscow Design Museum's Alexandra Sankova and Olga Druzhinina, this book tells the previously untold story of the VNIITE - the All-Union Scientific Research Institute of Technical Aesthetics.Formed in Soviet Russia in 1962, by the design visionary Yuri Soloviev, this cast network contained Moscow's most progressive designers. THh 'Vniitians', as they were called, designed for the future and developed new theories and approaches to design in the USSR.But more than fifty years later, the organisation is all but forgotten. It's hard to fathom how such an institution, dedicated to the promotion of utopian design, in theory and in practice, and the improvement of design standards within the Soviet Union, could have faded so far from view. After the disintegration of the USSR, the VNIITE and its library of images and prototypes were presumed lost.Until now, that is. Thanks to the efforts of the Moscow Design Museum - and the discovery of the personal archives of some of the VNIITE designers - the story of this remarkable organisation is being pieced back together.Alongside images of sketches, models and prototypes, the book also includes a selection of covers of one of the USSR's hidden gems of graphic design - the VNIITE's monthly journal, Technical Aesthetics. Showcased together for the first time, these covers chart Soviet graphic trends from the 1960s to the early 1990s.In the pages of this book you can see some of the more compelling examples of utopian Soviet design. As the designer Paula Scher notes, the work offers a balance between 'the communist desire for a perfectly-designed world against the real world of human competitiveness and inequality'.

From the graphics of the Reichstag to the iconic signage of the Vitra campus, his experiments lead to dynamic solutions, while simultaneously maintaining lightness and clarity.This new book presents 85 of buero uebele's projects through two types of materials: the raw materials from which they emerged, and materials from creative collaborators who've accompanied the studio along the way.

Paperback. Condition: NEW. Limited Edition of 2000. New, in publisher's shrink wrap. AVAILABLE NOW. The Original Edition by graphic design publisher Unit Editions. Another gorgeous title from Unit Editions, Action Time Vision is a collection of DIY graphics from the punk and post-punk eras. Brook and Shaughnessy are masters at digging through graphic design archives to pull out some of the most inspired, often underrepresented work from previous decades, and they don't disappoint here. Fast Co Design Rather than referencing the Sex Pistols or The Clash, Action Time Vision credits the designs of Wire, Bauhaus and Penetration sleeves, the ones with a 'disquieting look about them.' This curation of sleeves allows a representation of the extensive language of punk, while cleverly concentrating on its graphic design influence. Lucy Bourton, It's Nice That Music from the punk era transformed the world of music. If you could play three chords, you could make records. You didn't even need a record label. You could start your own. The same thing happened in graphic design. All you needed were a few a sheets of Letraset and access to a photocopier, and you could make your own record covers. And lots of people did just that. Action Time Vision: Punk & Post-Punk 7" Record Sleeves [Unit 26] is a celebration of DIY graphics from the punk and post-punk eras. You might call it outsider graphic design. With a few exceptions, trained designers rarely did 7" singles covers for this notoriously shouty and aggressive music. Apart from a few covers done by Barney Bubbles and Peter Saville, most punk and post-punk covers were designed by band members, label owners or friends. Few of the sleeves showcased here are beautiful in the normal sense of the word. But they all have an urgency and an exhilarating disregard for design conventions that makes them exceptional. They are all clarion calls for independence and freedom from pop industry norms. The work in this book is culled from the record collections of designer (and Unit Editions co-founder) Tony Brook, and leading punk scholar Russ Bestley. As one of the world's leading authorities on punk and post-punk music, Russ has contributed an insightful essay to the book. The book also features interviews with designer Malcolm Garrett, Mute founder Daniel Miller and Sniffin' Glue editor and musician Mark Perry.

Unit Editions are happy to offer a new and expanded edition. Written by Ben Bos, a key member of the TD studio, the book describes how a band of idealistic Dutch designers came together to form one of the first multidisciplinary design groups - one that helped shape the future of design in Europe and beyond. Total Design began in Amsterdam in 1963. Ben Bos joined the founders (Wim Crouwel, Benno Wissing, Friso Kramer and the Schwarz Brothers) from the outset. Together and individually, they set new benchmarks for typography, identity design, cultural design, exhibition design and product design. The expanded edition of TD 63-73is a unique insider's account of Total Design's golden period.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Matt Pyke, founder and creative director of Universal Everything, calls his studio a "digital art and design collective". And after 15 years of revolutionary work in the digital realm, UE has its first book - What is Universal Everything?Working closely with Pyke, the Spin design team of Tony Brook and Claudia Klat have designed a book that successfully brings Universal Everything's vivid on-screen work to the printed page. The book is printed using a unique salmon pink fluoro colour that has been specially created and mixed for the project.What is Universal Everything? examines 24 of the studio's most exciting projects, from work for clients such as Microsoft, Hyundai and MTV, through to projects for Radiohead and the Science Museum in London. For each piece of work, Pyke collaborates with a pool of international creative talent from his base in Sheffield in the north of England.The book also focuses on several of UE's self-initiated projects that keep the studio pushing forward. These speculative explorations, says Pyke, are concerned with "trying to invent the future before we get there".The book also includes two essays and extensive interviews throughout, 90 pages of Pyke's hand-drawn sketches, as well as detailed listings of the studio's numerous sources of inspiration - from music to literature; from places to food.In keeping with the book's high production values, nearly all the work featured in the book has been re-rendered at high res, allowing the full majesty of Universal Everything's screen-based work to be captured on the printed page.Furthermore, every cover of What is Universal Everything? is unique: a different tipped-in image graces the cover of each edition. As Pyke notes: "We developed software to generate random combinations of shapes, colours and sizes with collision detection. Thousands of unique graphic compositions have been generated. Everyone will own a one-off." Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Manuals 2 is a comprehensive study of corporate identity manuals from the golden era of identity design.As a companion volume to Manuals 1, Manuals 2 is a carefully-curated collection of 20th-century style guides, or as Steven Heller calls them - "sacred texts, revered for how they help shift graphic design from simply an intuitive practice to a rigorously strategic one".In today's landscape, designers and, increasingly, non-designers rely on digital templates to implement brand identities - fast, accurate and easily updatable, these digital manuals are now obligatory. But, in the eyes of many, we have lost something in the transition to digital style guides, and there is a growing recognition that the great printed standards manuals from the pre-digital era deserve a better fate than to be junked. Manuals 2 makes a strong case for their survival and continued appreciation.The book includes reproductions of 20 design manuals created for US and European institutions and corporations including IBM, Westinghouse, Canadian National Railway (CN), Bell System, Knoll, PTT, the Montreal Olympics and the Dutch police. Many of them have been designed by the giants of 20th-century identity design, including Lester Beall (USA), Paul Rand (USA), Allan Fleming (Can), Total Design (NL), Alan Fletcher (UK), Otl Aicher (Ger), Studio Dumbar (NL) and North (UK).Each manual featured in Manuals 2 has been expertly photographed, retaining all essential details, and is presented in a spacious and functional layout, allowing the reader to fully appreciate these wonderful examples of sophisticated information design.Manuals 2 comes with a substantial essay by design historian R. Roger Remington (Vignelli Distinguished Professor of Design) and an insightful text by Martha Fleming, daughter of Allan Fleming, designer of the Canadian National Railway logo.Also included are in-depth interviews with experts in the field of identity design: Michael Burke (UK/Germany), Sean Wolcott (USA), Liza Enebeis (NL) and John Bateson (UK). The foreword is written by the legendary Lance Wyman, designer of the 1968 Mexico Olympic Games and many other important brand identities.
