A New Program for Graphic Design⁣ Available at www.draw-down.com ⁣ ⁣ A toolkit for visual literacy in the 21st century. The first communication-design textbook expressly of and for the 21st century. Three courses—Typography, Gestalt and Interface—provide the foundation of this book.⁣ ⁣ Through a series of in-depth historical case studies (from Benjamin Franklin to the Macintosh computer) and assignments that progressively build in complexity, A New Program for Graphic Design serves as a practical guide both for designers and for undergraduate students coming from a range of other disciplines.⁣ ⁣ Synthesizing the pragmatic with the experimental, and drawing on the work of Max Bill, Beatrice Warde, Muriel Cooper and Stewart Brand (among many others), it builds upon mid- to late-20th-century pedagogical models to convey contemporary design principles in an understandable form for students of all levels—treating graphic design as a liberal art that informs the dissemination of knowledge across all disciplines.⁣ ⁣ For those seeking to understand and shape our increasingly networked world of information, this guide to visual literacy is an indispensable tool.⁣ ⁣ #graphicdesign #DavidReinfurt #InventoryPress (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B32KK-ZHF4B/?igshid=ek2311vijer7

Love smart books & hot design? We highly recommend this @wesdelval interview with @inventorypress ⁣co-founders Adam Michaels and Shannon Harvey of the design firm, @in_fo_co — up now @designersbooks !!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ An excerpt:⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Wes Del Val: When you think about or encounter topics that excite your design mind, what besides financial realities are your criteria for determining if there is a book that can be produced?⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Adam Michaels: I’ve always been most excited by books that reflect an uncommon worldview and approach—falling between disciplines and genres, or hybridizing them. Not so much as a search for novelty, but for inspiring genuinely different kinds of thought. I respect numerous publishers that are committed to an established genre and doing it very well (e.g., high-quality photo books), but we’re on a bit more of an oddball path over here. There are numerous titles that we’ve produced with a sense that no one else would have taken them on (our expanded reprint of the elaborate and obscure 'Blueprint for Counter Education' is a good example of this).⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Shannon Harvey: When looking at a potential project we are also looking for a rich content range that can be shaped into a cohesive whole. Key questions for us are: does this project say something new (either in its form or content), significantly expand an existing conversation, or as in the case of 'Blueprint,' reignite a latent radical potential?⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Read the full interview via linkinbio.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Pictured here Blueprint for Counter Education / A New Program for Graphic Design by @david_reinfurt / @mungothomson Mail / Get Out: The Complete Annotated Screenplay by @jordanpeele / Museum @ofcapitalism / The Detroit Printing Co-op: The Politics of the Joy of Printing by @auberdada⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Order from your local independent #bookstorehero⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #inventorypress #shannonharvey #adammichaels #graphicdesign #bookdesign #wesdelval https://www.instagram.com/p/CGxskA2J7pr/?igshid=3j30q94zucjg
