New Masters of Poster Design, Volume 2 : Poster Design for This Century and Beyond

This second edition of New Masters of Poster Design features the best poster designers currently working all over the world. This book brings back a handmade aesthetic that was really never lost, but is celebrating a resurgence among designers who are creating limited-edition prints and pieces for themselves and others that become keepsakes or pieces of art vs. the mass-generated designs weve all become accustomed to—and you wont see this collection of posters anywhere else. Strong visuals accompanied by captions and profiles will capture the essence of these collectible prints. "As with vinyl records, the poster seemingly disappeared over the past two decades. What was once an essential form of communication gradually transformed into a postcard-and-email blast." "The loss of a storied and majestic medium that served as a perfect canvas for creative expression simply could not be tolerated. A determined group of designers once again turned to the poster for personal work and as an outlet from more restrictive media; their goal was to prove the poster could still be a powerful tool in communicating their clients' messages." "New Masters of Poster Design features work from some of the world's most influential designers, as well as from a handful of fresh-faced newcomers following closely at their heels."--Jacket Cover 1 Title 2 Dedication 256 CONTENTS 3 INTRODUCTION 5 JORGE ALDERETE 6 ATELIER POISSON (GIORGIO PESCE) 14 MARK BROOKS 22 KUOKWAI CHEONG 30 THE DECODER RING DESIGN CONCERN 38 RYAN DUGGAN 48 F2 DESIGN (DIRK FOWLER) 56 KIKO FARKAS 64 MARK GOWING 72 CHRISTOPHER GRAY 82 HOMEWORK 90 HORT 98 INVISIBLE CREATURE 106 KELLERHOUSE, INC. 114 YANN LEGENDRE 122 RON LIBERTI 132 MOTHERBIRD 140 OLIVER MUNDAY 148 OSTENGRUPPE 158 PRINT MAFIA 166 JAY RYAN 174 MEHDI SAEEDI 182 THE SMALL STAKES 190 SONNENZIMMER 198 STAYNICE 206 PAULA TROXLER 214 JOANNA WECHT 222 DANIEL WIESMANN 230 YOUNG MONSTER 238 ZELOOT 246 AFTERWORD 254 DIRECTORY OF DESIGNERS 255 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 256 ABOUT THE AUTHOR 256 This volume features the best poster designers currently working all over the world.
