NEW ΒΟΟΚ DESIGN

Περιγραφή

New Book Design brings together the most interesting, influential and accomplished book designs of the last ten years. It features more than 100 titles chosen for their outstanding design qualities, from the publications of large print-run publishers to those of small independent companies, and even artists’ books. As well as painstakingly produced books that use unconventional formats and unusual print techniques and materials, it looks at less flamboyant publications designed for different markets. A wide variety of books are featured, from paperback novels to architectural monographs, text-based as well as highly illustrated books.
Divided into four main sections -Packaging, Navigation, Structure and Specification- the book examines each facet of book design: cover design, contents and structure, grids, typography, paper, printing and binding. Each section includes an interview with a prominent figure in the book industry, from designers and publishers to key booksellers. All featured books are richly illustrated with clear photography and extended caption text.
Seeking out surprising and less-known examples from a wide range of countries, New Book Design will provide both design students and established practitioners with a wealth of inspiration.
