Synopsis

Paper can be an elegant solution to the challenges of graphic design. Paper Graphics examines the many ways paper choice influences design with striking examples of work from top firms (both US and overseas) gathered to offer readers creative inspiration, know how, and fresh ideas. Collected in these pages you will find graphic design in which the qualities of the paper itself inspired or directed the finished piece. Seven chapters present more than 200 inspiring examples of graphic design.

About this title

From the Author:

This is a strong collection of designs on and about paper. That this is an inspiring collection was confirmed for me as I was sending back many hundreds of samples to generous contributing graphic artists. I collected many times more material than the book could hold, partly to be thorough in the research and partly because of my great interest in the subject. As I repacked slides into sleeves and printed matter into envelopes, I was struck by the cleverness, beauty and functionality even of the pieces that did not make it into the book. Then I knew that we had assembled the best of the best. No sample is offered without context: Every design in the book is accompanied by its own short article that explains what the original assignment was, how the solution was found, and what paper stock and other materials were used. When possible, readers also learn how much the project cost and how it was received by its audience. This is truly a "feed your head" book-but it was my goal that is should feed both the left and right sides of the brain.
