DOWNLOAD EBOOKLanguage Culture Type grew out of the first international type-design competition, the 2001 bukva: raz!, whose goal was to promote global cultural pluralism, interaction, and diversity in typographic communications. The book lavishly presents the winning entries, along with information about each typeface, its language, and its designer. A series of essays gives context for the interplay of types and languages in the world today -- including the attempt to mesh all existing scripts into a single digital encoding system called Unicode. It also delves into the specific issues around developing typefaces for the many linguistic cultures in the world, from the various Cyrillic letterforms to Vietnam's ancient ideographic script.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKType and Image The Language of Graphic Design Philip B. Meggs What is the essence of graphic design? How do graphic designers solve problems, organize space, and imbue their work with those visual and symbolic qualities that enable it to convey visual and verbal information with expression and clarity? The extraordinary flowering of graphic design in our time, as a potent means for communication and a major component of our visual culture, increases the need for designers, clients, and students to comprehend its nature. In this lively and lavishly illustrated book, the author reveals the very essence of graphic design. The elements that combine to form a design— sings, symbols, words, pictures, and supporting forms—are analyzed and explained. Graphic design’s ability to function as language, and the innovative ways that designers combine words and pictures, are discussed. While all visual arts share common spatial properties, the author demonstrates that graphic space has unique characteristics that are determined by its communicative function. Graphic designs can have visual and symbolic properties which empower them to communicate with deep expression and meaning. The author defines this property as graphic resonance and explains how it occurs. After defining design as a problem-solving process, a model for this process is developed and illustrated by an in-depth analysis of actual case histories. This book will provide insight and inspiration for everyone who is interested or involved in graphic communications. While most materials about form and meaning in design have a European origin, this volume is based on the dynamic and expressive graphic design of America. The reader will find inspiration, hundreds of exciting examples by many of America’s outstanding graphic designers, and keen insights in Type and Image.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIf you look at the history and the specialities of monoku and collage, you will come to the interesting conclusion that both genres are amazingly different and similar at the same time?-?and can therefore complement and expand each other excellently due to their complexities and ambiguities.Jim Kacian and Terry Ann Carter, both masters of their respective genres, unerringly and creatively explore new boundaries with their joint works in this book, and yet?-?or precisely because of this?-?allow the spark of poetry to jump over in new and surprising ways. Both monoku and collage seem to bring together fragments of this world here, the "traces" of their origins remain visible sometimes only imaginable, at the same time narrative lines are interrupted . . . the viewer's imagination becomes part of the artistic process.The deliberate omission (elision) in monoku and pos-sible free spaces (ma) in collages are two techniques that can astonishingly complement and enrich each other in their interplay. Seen in this light, the works in this book certainly correspond to the overall conception of a haiga.
