Typeset in the Future: Typography and Design in Science Fiction Movies / Available at www.draw-down.com / Writer and designer #DaveAddey invites #scifi movie fans on a journey through seven genre-defining classics, discovering how their typography and design create compelling visions of the future. Delving deep into 2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Alien, Blade Runner, Total Recall, WALL·E, and Moon, this book studies the design tricks and inspirations that make each film transcend mere celluloid and become a believable reality. Studies are illustrated by film stills, concept art, #typespecimens and ephemera, plus original interviews with Mike Okuda (Star Trek), Paul Verhoeven (Total Recall), and Ralph Eggleston and Craig Foster (Pixar). #Typeset in the #Future is an obsessively thorough study of how classic sci-fi movies draw us into their imagined worlds—and how they have come to represent “THE FUTURE” in popular culture.

BEAUTIFUL PRINTING! IBM - Graphic Design Guide From 1969 To 1987 / Available at www.draw-down.com / Before defining the IBM company’s graphic look in 1956, #PaulRand had never designed an entire #corporateidentity. The American #graphicdesigner had created many #trademarks for advertising clients, but #IBM was his first foray into the conservative realm of big business communications, as well as a turning point for him. This #manual, a facsimile reprinting of Rand's #graphicstandards offers an in-depth look at the further evolution of IBM’s house style in the 1970s and ’80s, from #logotypes, fonts, numerals, and #typespecimens - to highly detailed information on imprinting binders, #signage, packaging, and related material. It shows how the #graphicdesigner selects and fits together material to produce #visual relationships. Rand's #guidelines for the “IBM Graphic Design Program” were documented and updated in a physical folder organized into various sections. This folder—known as an iconic, rare, and little documented object—is the core of this facsimile project. Undertaken in collaboration with the archive team at #IBM New York, and with the Kandinsky Library of the Georges #Pompidou Centre in #Paris, the high-resolution scans reproduced in this volume are a celebration of Rand's legacy and of IBM's iconic visual identity. With a preface by #StevenHeller. Designed by Union.
