RADICAL GRAPHICS

Indispensable for anyone in the design business, this one-of-a-kind survey chronicles 40 international graphic designers who have defined the cutting edge in recent years. Featuring hundreds of illustrations, it’s a veritable who’s who of the individuals and firms that are reinventing the look of today. Charting the evolution of radicalism in design, from the early influences of the Dadaists to the fractured advertisements and multilayered 3-D work that presage the future, this is a unique profile of the landmark designers who break the rules, fracture the grid, and set new standards for the graphic arts. It’s packaged in a pleasing square format with an unusual jacket - a chic, super-sturdy vellum 'vest' - to echo the maverick spirit of the interior, designed by Katherine McCoy. Radical Graphics/Graphic Radicals, visually exciting and thoroughly researched, is a natural addition to any designer’s library. Radical graphics; where art, design, marketing, and cultural revolution meet.
