The first book dedicated to Margaret Calvert, pioneer of design for public service, a groundbreaking typographer and recipient of 2024’s New York Type Directors Club Medal.Margaret Calvert’s design work on the signs of Britain’s national road network, with Jock Kinneir, means that it is almost impossible to travel anywhere in the UK and not benefit from her skill as a designer. Her ultra-legible typeface and engaging pictograms have become an integral part of everyday British life, and they have set the benchmark for highway signage internationally. Following a distinguished career as a graphic designer, Margaret Calvert became an influential educator at the Royal College of Art, where she taught a generation of designers, many of whom have achieved global recognition. Today, working in her home studio, she takes on projects that personally inspire her. This monograph – the first dedicated to her work – captures the full arc of her career, encompassing the three distinct phases of her professional life and offering insight into her early years in South Africa and her formative experiences after moving to the UK as a teenager. Lavishly illustrated with rare glimpses into her archive and details of her legendary typefaces, it is designed by Margaret and A2/SW/HK, the studio co-founded by her frequent creative partner (and former student) Henrik Kubel and Scott Williams. The book is edited by Adrian Shaughnessy, with an introduction by Eye magazine editor, John L. Walters and an essay by Margaret’s friend and former student Marion Deuchars.

Esquire. Ford Motors. Burton Snowboards. The Obama Administration. While all of these brands are vastly different, they share at least one thing in common: a teeny, little bit of Aaron James Draplin. Draplin is one of the new school of influential graphic designers who combine the power of design, social media, entrepreneurship, and DIY aesthetic to create a successful business and way of life. Pretty Much Everything is a mid-career survey of work, case studies, inspiration, road stories, lists, maps, how-tos, and advice. It includes examples of his work—posters, record covers, logos—and presents the process behind his design with projects like Field Notes and the “Things We Love” State Posters. Draplin also offers valuable advice and hilarious commentary that illustrates how much more goes into design than just what appears on the page. With Draplin’s humour and pointed observations on the contemporary design scene, Draplin Design Co. is the complete package for the new generation of designers.

The definitive illustrated history of the cult videogame – a heart-thumping fusion of groundbreaking graphic design, architectural futurism, electronic music and high-speed racing. WipEout crashed onto the scene in 1995, shifting games into the cultural fast lane with its unique 3D visual designs. It propelled a wondrous hit of anti-gravity, hyperspeed racing into the heart of the freshly released PlayStation console and, over time, the series – developed by Psygnosis, later known as Studio Liverpool – grew into a cult phenomenon amongst graphic designers and gamers alike. With its club-land branding – devised by cutting-edge Sheffield agency The Designers Republic, and its on-the-pulse collaborations with electronic artists, from The Chemical Brothers to Kraftwerk, WipEout was not only a racing game – it was a vehicle for art. WipEout Futurism chronicles the iconic game’s vision, struggles and achievements – from first conception to future plans, in a distinctive union of trailblazing artwork and graphic design. The extraordinary, and rarely seen, concept art created for the game is beautifully reproduced throughout the book, while The Designers Republic’s peerless vision for an alternative future – with its roots planted in the rich earth of sci-fi iconography – weaves its way throughout the pages, making this publication a densely packed expansion to the beloved series.

The Designers Republic™ is the design group that changed design. But there’s never been a book that tells its story - until now. Led by founder and born rebel, Ian Anderson, The Designers Republic™ has shaped graphic communication over the past thirty years through rule-defying music work, provocative self-initiated projects and a fierce commitment to conceptual thinking over style. Now, for the first time in book form, Anderson explores the studio’s output, and its influence on a generation of graphic designers. AZTDR™ spans over three decades of work – from the studio’s earliest designs for the FON label in the mid-1980s and sleeves for Age of Chance, Chakk and Cabaret Voltaire, right up to its recent projects for The Cinematic Orchestra, Led Bib and the Gulbenkian Foundation. Alongside classic self-initiated TDR™ projects, the 512-page book features an A to Z of everything from campaigns for Evolution Print, Coca-Cola and Nike, through to the studio’s celebrated designs for video games such as Wipeout and Formula Fusion. TDR™’s special relationship with print is explored through its celebrated contributions to IDEA and Emigre magazines and its 3D>2D book, alongside its work for Manchester School of Art, Gatecrasher, NY Sushi and the studio’s array of music clients. Here, TDR™’s work with Autechre is examined via ten key releases, while the studio’s involvement with Pop Will Eat Itself focuses on some twenty-eight different singles and albums. There are also expansive sections devoted to TDR™’s designs for Aphex Twin, Moloko, Sun Electric and The Orb, alongside sleeve designs for R&S Records, New Atlantis, a range of Berlin-based labels and, of course, Warp Records.

Det här är en kärleksförklaring till mönster. Samtidigt som det är en handbok och, kanske framförallt, en inblick i en formgivares värld av färg, form och fantasi. Lotta Kühlhorn, en av Sveriges mest älskade formgivare, visar oss tekniken och hemligheterna bakom mönsterdesign. Från klassiska prickar, ränder och rutor till inspiration från natur, matematik och berättande. Genom boken görs djupdyk i olika mönster och vi får följa resan fram till färdig form, med avstickare till personliga reflektioner. Vi får också lära oss att själva göra mönster, steg för steg. Allt vi ser omkring oss kan vara byggstenar – en nyckel, ett bananskal och en slickepott, blåstång och stegar. Allt i livet kan användas och repeteras.
"Boken är som ett vitaminpiller!"

Från proggen, genom punken, syntarna till singer songwriters. Rock och blues på svenska. Folkmusiken och den klassiska repertoaren pågår under tiden. Här samsas genrerna i en och samma formgivares arbetsrum. Idéer, infall, erfarenheter landar i olika formspråk för olika uttryck för att det ska nå fram till olika musikaliska smaker.
Den svenska skivbranschen genom omslagen under 1970- 80- 90-talen och in i tvåtusentalet. Formgivaren Lasse Ermalm delar sina betraktelser om hur det sett ut och varför det såg ut som det gjorde. Artister ger sin syn på hur det gick till när somliga omslag blev som de blev.
Paradigmskiftet från analogt till digitalt fick påtagliga konsekvenser både för skivutgivningen och formgivningen. Hur förverkligade man overkliga bilder innan datorerna vidgade fantasins möjligheter att visualisera musik?
Musikjournalisterna Håkan Lahger och Lars Nylin skriver om den mobila konstutställningen som uppstod i skivaffärerna samt om det som genom tiderna egentligen varit det mest lönsamma för skivbolagen.
Du som själv köpte skivorna och du som blev indoktrinerad av föräldrarnas skivsamlingar, för dej fick en del omslag ikonstatus och många försvann spårlöst. Vad gjorde att somliga inte bleknade bort? Var det omslagsbilden eller var det musiken? Eller tvärt om, eller både och? Här finns LP-konvolutens stora påtagliga bildspråk, hittarna på singlar och EP, de mångsidiga CD-albumen och de maffiga boxarna att njuta av. Totalt mer än 300 skivomslag.
TV-inslag om boken: SVT, TV4.
"En av de mest produktiva omslagsformgivarna genom tiderna. Bredden är enorm. Från progg till punk. Boken påminner om bortglömda storsäljare som fanns i många svenska hem." (Jan Gradvall, Dagens Industri)
"2500 omslag senare borde Ermalm få en hedersgrammis, för att som ingen annan ha grafiskt formgivit den svenska rocken." (Jörgen Holmstedt, Rock 'n' Roll Magazine)
"Otaliga omslag samlade i den gedigna boken där formgivarens underhållande berättelser från arbetslivet blandas med texter om omslag". (Håkan Steen, Aftonbladet Nöje).

The complete, definitive and never-before-published catalogue of Hipgnosis, Vinyl • Album • Cover • Art finally does justice to the work of the most important design collective in music history, which, according to Roddy Bogawa, director of the documentary Taken by Storm (2011), ‘designed half your record collection’. Founded in 1967 by Storm Thorgerson, Aubrey ‘Po’ Powell and Peter Christopherson, Hipgnosis gained legendary status in graphic design, transforming the look of album art forever and winning five Grammy nominations for package design. Their revolutionary cover art moved away from the conventional group shots favoured by record companies of the day, resulting in the ground-breaking, often surreal designs which define the albums of many of the biggest names in the history of popular music: 10cc, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Peter Gabriel, The Police, Genesis, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Paul McCartney, Robert Plant, Syd Barrett, Throbbing Gristle, T. Rex, Wings, Yes and XTC, to name but a few. Arranged chronologically, Vinyl • Album • Cover • Art features stunning reproductions of every single Hipgnosis cover – 372 in total – coupled with detailed information by Po and Storm Thorgerson on the artworks and the compelling stories behind their creation. Additional contributions by Peter Gabriel, Marcus Bradbury, and Pentagram’s Harry Pearce provide engrossing insights into the way these incredible artworks came into being; place the covers in context; and reflect on their enduring impact on album design. A highly accessible stand-alone volume, Vinyl • Album • Cover • Art will also make the perfect pop partner to the groundbreaking Hipgnosis | Portraits (2014) with its rare revelations and behind-the-scenes photography.

From the Los Angeles riots to the Columbine High School massacre, Americans witnessed events and purchased items that reflected the best and worst of the decade. Bill Clinton’s presidency was in jeopardy, the digital age had erupted, and Silicon Valley was affecting everyone on the planet. Meanwhile nudity and sex ruled the pages of magazines, selling everything from haute couture to fragrances and microwave ovens. Nirvana entertained Generation X while the “Greatest Generation” considered purchasing a Probe and something called a Hummer.Super Soakers and the game consoles Game Boy and PlayStation were the new toys, as Super Mario World, Gran Turismo, and Sonic the Hedgehog were warping the minds of young people everywhere. Luxury brands were in demand: shoppers coveted a Gucci bag, a Louis Vuitton tote, a Hermes scarf, or a Prada frock. TWA and Continental Airlines still flew the airways and Volkswagen reimagined the Beetle. It was a decade that seemed safely benign, but was jammed with events and consumption on a grand scale, setting the stage for the 21st century.Featuring six chapters that cover a range of advertising, from food and fashion to entertainment and cars, a Desert Storm’s worth of advertising highlights makes All-American Ads of the ’90s a must-have compendium for every Beanie Babies–collecting, Simpsons-watching, pog-hoarding, and Harry Potter–loving citizen of 1990s consumerism.
