Scope and Contents

Edward Fella designed, lettered and illustrated the posters that are lithographed on eight colors of Gilbert paper. Fella writes that "all the events announced actually happened, only the flyers didn't. They were each done after the fact and bear no stylistic bond to the work of any graphic designer represented herein; other than myself. Or so I disclaim." The loose sheets contain excerpts of reviews of Fella's work from Eye Magazine and Design Writing Research, held by the Sackner Archive, and other publications. Basically, Fella's experimental "battered typography" or "new typography of the nineties" that was designed over ten years ago is still currently criticized and analyzed. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
