Afrikan Alphabets: the story of writing in Afrika / Mafundikwa, Saki., 2007

Item

Identifier: CC-47938-68961

Scope and Contents

Afrikan Alphabets will lead you to uncharted places in Afrikan cultures. This book is about the highly graphic pictographs, ideographs, and scripts devised and designed by Afrikans themselves. In Afrika, the harmony of art, nature and spirit is the rule, not the exception. In terms of the graphic arts, alphabets designed by Afrikans show that the spiritual line is free and unencumbered by the rule of the grid. Afrikan alphabets express ideas, systems of thought, cultural imperatives, aesthetic preferences, and spirit. They are one of the important keys to help unlock what has been kept hidden from so many for so long. These alphabets with their deeply meaningful graphic constructions show the intelligence and ingenuity of Afrikan peoples." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Item

Identifier: CC-27885-29024

Scope and Contents In his opening essay, Steven Heller states that Herb Lubalin, a devout typophile, built upon the ideas of earlier twentieth-century type/image makers, such as Kurt Schwitters and Lazar El Lissitzky, and blurred the distinction between type and image. In the late 1940's Bradbury Thomas, a pioneer of American typography, encouraged designers to occasionally release type from its moorings and play with it as if it were a toy. His idea, inspired by the Futurists, Dadaists and Surrealists of the 1920's was that smart typographic puns could enhance a reading by providing an additional level of meaning. Thompson made puns with letterforms that released specific sounds, not unlike the onomatopoeic type poems of the Italian Futurists. A decade later, Herb Lubalin took the idea even further by combining photographs and drawings with expressive letters that underscored or amplified the meaning of a headline. This was serious typeplay!Chapters in this well designed book include Cutting Edge,...
