Graphic 35: Book Designs / Available at www.draw-down.com / “Book designs in the era of e-books” would probably be an appropriate subtitle for this issue. What meaning does #bookdesign hold in the environment where the entire reading #culture is facing a sudden change by this #digital technology? Although it may be a stock topic, #GRAPHIC approaches this question with a practical point of view, inviting designers from all over the world to share their valuable opinions on book designing in the 21st century. It features seventeen #designers or studios who are mostly working for independent and #artpublishers that are noted for accomplishment in their field. Includes an overview of trends in #bookmaking - as well as diverse opinions on the current role of #bookdesign - representative examples of designing practices, and insightful interviews with eleven of the designers, including Lamm & Kirch, #GillesGavillet and John Morgen, as well as Nina Ulmaja, head of #graphicdesign at Albert Bonniers Förlag, and #JuliaHasting - creative director at #PhaidonPress. In addition, six studios were invited to contribute their own sections to display their creativity. https://www.instagram.com/p/BtgHngZncbT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=167gsfqysi92z
