From the icy palettes of winter to delicate spring growth, and from the dazzling sunshine and blooms of summer through the fading hues of autumn, he captures in calligraphy what countless poets have crafted with words. The proverb or quotation that inspired each artwork is handwritten in Arabic by Massoudy alongside the English texts on the facing page. Hassan Massoudy was born in Najaf, Iraq. He moved to France in 1969, where he studied at L'cole des Beaux-Arts. His work has been exhibited throughout Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.

There is something distinctly compelling about the vintage aesthetic. Brimming with charm and character, it often tells stories of a colourful past and showcases a level of craftsmanship that many creatives today still aspire to emulate. Retro designs also emanate a sense of comfort and warmth that is tinged with nostalgia. As testament to the adage that old is indeed gold, New Retro showcases a brilliant collection of work that is anything but outdated, featuring projects that not only draw inspiration from the good old days, but also merge seamlessly with contemporary influences and culture. First published in 2016, this 2021 rerelease - with additional projects and a special cover design - coincides with Victionary's 20th anniversary and is dedicated to the fans who have been requesting for its reprint ever since it went out of stock.

Over recent decades, type has been contextualized. It is no longer at home in static, monotone print. It is now belongs in the domain of the image. Type is integrated into image as if it is a 'real' and tangible as any other subject or objects. It is treated as having physical presence with weight and depth. Among these pages we will see a return to the handmade. Hand-drawn scrawl has become increasingly popular over the past few years. We are currently entering a new typographic era, in which designers choose to focus on the form and substance of the individual letter more than on overall composition. Colour throughout

Un tributo a uno dei fotografi più influenti, intriganti e controversi del XX secolo. Il SUMO è stato un libro titanico sotto tutti gli aspetti: ha infranto ogni record quanto a peso, dimensioni e valore di mercato Helmut Newton (1920-2004) ha sempre dimostrato un sano disprezzo per le soluzioni facili o prevedibili. Il SUMO - un'audace avventura editoriale senza precedenti - era un progetto irresistibile. L'idea di una raccolta spettacolare di immagini, un libro con le proporzioni di un'esposizione privata, riprodotta su pagine di dimensioni eccezionali e con standard di stampa all'avanguardia, è nata nel corso di una conversazione aperta e conoscitiva tra fotografo e editore. Con l'imponenza fisica del SUMO, che arrivava a pesare - con scatola e cellophane - 35,4 chilogrammi, Newton ha creato una pietra miliare che spiccava nettamente su qualsiasi altra cosa tentata in precedenza, sia in termini di stravaganza concettuale che di specifiche tecniche. Pubblicato in una tiratura limitata di 10.000 copie firmate e numerate, il SUMO è andato esaurito quasi subito dopo la pubblicazione e ha visto moltiplicare rapidamente il suo valore. Questo fenomeno editoriale è ora parte di importanti collezioni in tutto il mondo, inclusa quella del Museum of Modern Art di New York. La leggendaria copia n.1 del SUMO, autografata da oltre 100 delle celebrità fotografate al suo interno, ha stabilito anche il record del libro più costoso pubblicato nel XX secolo, battuto a un'asta a Berlino il 6 aprile 2000 per 620.000 marchi, circa 317.000 ?. Il SUMO ha stabilito nuovi parametri nel settore della monografia artistica, conquistandosi un posto di tutto rispetto nella storia dei libri di fotografia. Questa nuova edizione, attentamente rivista da June Newton, realizza un'ambizione di Helmut Newton nata alcuni anni fa. A lui avrebbe certamente fatto piacere che il SUMO - ora in un formato che permette una distribuzione più democratica, un decennio dopo la sua prima pubblicazione - raggiungesse un pubblico il più vasto possibile. In ogni caso, gli orgogliosi proprietari della nuova edizione non dovranno lottare con la loro copia del libro, che è dotata di un leggio unico per esporlo a casa propria.

Christian Ackers Flip the Script, a book which analyzes graffiti handstyles in a formal typographic construct, was dubbed an instant classic by writers and designers alike upon its release in 2013.

Acker designed the book with 32 gridded pages, 32 lined pages and 64 blank pages so you have both structured and free-form options for developing your letterforms. Practice makes perfect! Seb Goreywas born in 1976 in Paris, France. He is currently based in New York City and works as an artist and designer.
