 Item
Identifier: CC-32075-33610
Scope and Contents This periodical was published twice yearly as a survey of historic design style and typography and its influence on contemporary graphic design. Various Mohawk papers and printing techniques were employed in this outstanding esthetically appealing example of graphic design. Design & Style's mission was to examine the relationship between printing technology and graphic style. The cover of this volume depict a cut-out version of a streamlined locomotive. The text traces the streamline style as deriving from "Modernism, as extolled by Futurism, Constructivism, De Stijl and Bauhaus, [that] was exported to America via books, annuals and the many proponents of the movement who emigrated to New York and Chicago, Their distinctly European ideas were wed to the developing American design forms, resulting in a pluralistic but distinct period style - a blend of the decorative and the austere, the modern and the moderne, the geometric and the biomorphic." -- Source of annotation: Marvin...

Scope and Contents Consists of a collection of essays about graphic design which were written between 1985 and 1995. The topics among others include decontructivism, written numbers, and history of styles, punctuations, ornaments, and alterations to typefaces. In a chapter entitled, Language of Dreams, the authors identify graphic differences among pictograph, ideograph, rebus, syllabary and alphabet. If stylized standing figures of a man and woman are depicted adjacent to each other, the pictograph symbolizes "man and woman" whereas the ideograph "toilets." Stylized images of a knife and fork placed next to each other symbolize "knife and fork" as a pictograph and "restaurant " as ideograph. A stylized standing figure of a man might signify "john" or a stylized front-view of an automobile "car" as a rebus. The alphabet letter 'A' might be depicted as a Martini glass, 'B' as a boat, etc. The final section of this book deals with a history of graphic design in America. -- Source of annotation: Marvin...
