For December ’23 we feature ‘Big Type: Graphic Design and Identities with Typographic Emphasis‘, by Jon Dowling (published by Counter-Print on 28 April 2022).
Synopsis
“Explores graphic design and identity work where the emphasis is on typography. The visual landscape in which today’s designers are contributing to is very cluttered and the digital world alone is so vast, that sometimes it feels hard to make your voice heard amongst all the noise. The work on show within this book examines how designers can produce work that stands out and cuts through the noise. It showcases a fascinating direction in graphic design, forged by a collision of technology, typography and trends which is creating new and exciting results.”
