two really nice links up today, firstly: a large collection of twelve, seminal bauhaus books available for download in hi-res format (tip via experimental jestset)
secondly a wonderful 500+ page book by willard c brinton dating back to 1939 and called graphic presentation with some beautiful old infographics and much basic visual theory which is still relevant today, also available to download as a hi-res pdf right here (tip via fast co)
an advance copy of the third book for the metropole orkest arrived this week, looking good…
now we just have to wait for the fourth (and final one) to arrive before i can properly post the whole project, which should be just after christmas/new year
the release of the impressive unit editions monograph about often, under-rated (or at least under-recognised) graphic designer lance wyman, nicely corrects the situation (thanks guys, my copy arrived this week)
definitely worth the cash this volume, check out a short interview and some other related articles on their website here plus listen to adrian shaughnessy talk about the man and his work in this monocle audio interview
this is an oddly satisfying and nicely executed little tumblr collection: matching everyday objects to PMS colour swatches
also on instagram but the collection has been temporarliy put on hold as a book is in the make…
