Tous les créatifs connaissent jusqu’à un certain point le travail de Sagmeister > On aime, on aime pas, mais personne reste indifférent. Depuis longtemps Sagmeister travaille sa griffe avec une certaine dévotion particulière, ce qui lui merite une notoriété dans le monde du design graphique, de la pub. La récente pub Absolute ANTHEM est incontestablement une “inspicopie” des expérimentations typographiques de Stefan Sagmeister par l’agence TBWA\CHIAT\DAY New York.

Maintenant le débat est ouvert; Est-ce que la popularité d’un style ou d’un artiste justifie l’appropriation de sa démarche artistique dans le processus de commercialisation publicitaire?

Dans un monde gris je vois souvent noir…

Merci Marion-Isabelle pour le fil.

Et maintenant Stefan Sagmeister

Aussi petite parenthèse, ceci rappel le travail de Julien Vallé et Karim Zariffa intitulé Things I have learned in my life so far résultant d’un workshop intensif d’une semaine dirigé par Stefan Sagmeister à Percé en Gaspésie.

my motto

great idea from rolandtiangco.com

Two typographers ( Pierre & Damien / plmd.me ) and a pro race pilot (Stef van Campenhoudt) collaborated to design a font with a car.
The car movements were tracked using a custom software, designed by interactive artist Zachary Lieberman.

I NEED TO GET MY HANDS ON THIS ONE!

Eckhard Neumann: FUNCTIONAL GRAPHIC DESIGN IN THE 20′S. NYC: Reinhold Publishing Corporation, 1967. First edition. Full cloth over boards in dust jacket: a near-fine or better copy with light wear overall. Interior unmarked and very clean. Classic early design work that is now sadly out-of-print.

8.25 x 8.25 hardcover book with 96 pages and 113 illustrations in b/w or two colors. This influential book was the first scholarly study to tie together the disparate elements of the European Avant-Garde (Bauhaus, Dada, Cubism, Futurism, de Stijl, etc. ) and how they related to the emerging field of Graphic Design. Highly recommended.

From the book: “This important book documents that astonishinglycreative decade — the 1920′s, with its entirely new and functional visual language. The innovative art trends of the twentieth century, which include Cubism, Futurism, and Dadism, have had a determining influence on the development of today’s visual language.”

Eckhard Neumann reveals through a clear and well-illustrated text the close historical connection between fine art and graphic design, and discusses the origins of graphic design today.”

If you love typography like I do, you will love this book about Max Bill!

Max bill considered himself primarily an architect, yet he was also an inventive and tireless creator of type fonts and commercial logos, as well as being a designer with wonderful sense of visual humor. this rich monograph gives max bill fans an extensive and inspiring look at works for which he has received little attention, in the fields of typography, advertising and book design. Today, many people consider Max to be one of the major players of Graphic Design as we know it today.
