Last Copy! Wim Crouwel: A Graphic Odyssey / Available at www.draw-down.com / This catalogue of work by the Dutch #graphicdesigner and typographer #WimCrouwel is structured around an interview by #TonyBrook which took place at Crouwel’s Amsterdam flat. Besides a list of the works reproduced on its pages, the publication is otherwise fully given over to numerous full-color images of #posters, sketches, typefaces, and other documents produced by #Crouwel as a commercial artist. According to Brooks, “the qualities of his work are plain to see: the distinctive use of abstract typographic forms; the relentless experimentation with the grid; the ability of his work to communicate. He seems to have achieved the perfect balance.” In #Japanese and English / #GraphicDesign (at Amsterdam, Netherlands) https://www.instagram.com/p/Br_WcuWg5Ax/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xnb84ja2h2h1

Last Copy! Paula Scher: Works / Available at www.draw-down.com / This definitive, chronological visual record spans Paula’s early days in the music industry as an art director with CBS and Atlantic records; the launch of her first studio, Koppel & Scher; and her 25-year engagement with Pentagram. The monograph is also a visual record of contemporary New York’s urban fabric, indelibly transformed by the designer’s innovative approach to environmental graphics and identity design: from MoMA to Charter Schools; from the High Line to Shake Shack. Scher's logos for global corporations and cultural institutions have cemented her reputation as a giant of identity design. A large section is devoted to the designer’s socially and politically-motivated posters, New York Times Op-Ed illustrations and campaign work. The book also provides the most up-to-date look at Paula’s idiosyncratic hand-painted maps, an unusually prolific artistic practice complementing her still-growing graphic legacy. In a long interview, Paula’s frank and open words lay bare the reality of design culture in the USA. With an introduction by Adrian Shaughnessy and an afterword by Tony Brook. Designed by Rachel Dalton and Tommy Spitters, under the creative direction of Tony Brook. Published by Unit Editions, 2017 / Softcover, 520 pages! #paulascher #uniteditions #graphicdesign #AdrianShaughnessy #TonyBrook
