Graphic Design, Referenced by Bryony Gomez Palacios.

Graphic Design, Referenced is a visual and informational guide to the most commonly referenced terms, historical moments, landmark projects, and influential practitioners in the field of graphic design. With more than 2,000 design projects illustrating more than 400 entries, it provides an intense overview of the varied elements that make up the graphic design profession through a unique set of chapters:  PRINCIPLES defines the very basic foundation of what constitutes graphic design to establish the language, terms, and concepts that govern what we do and how we do it, covering layout, typography, and printing terms.  KNOWLEDGE explores the most influential sources through which we learn about graphic design from the educational institutions we attend to the magazines and books we read.  REPRESENTATIVES gathers the designers who over the years have proven the most prominent or have steered the course of graphic design in one way or another.  PRACTICE highlights some of the most iconic work produced that not only serve as examples of best practices, but also illustrate its potential lasting legacy.

Luminous Letters

I was intrigued by these delicate, flowing characters, some of which look like suspended underwater organisms. They were created by the mysterious ‘Abi’ of Cambridge, NY (no further profile listed or found).

This sort of lettering seems to go hand-in-hand with mystery. Last year Stephen Coles mused on the origins of this graceful mark. It was later identified as the Fin International logo by a helpful Type Worship reader.

Agence de communication Graphéine. Personally love this kind of lettering and 3d perspective work, never thought it could work at an airpot though, well it does at Lyon in any case.  7

Education Poster Campaign by Kate Pullen

"The brief was to create a series of posters that communicated three slogans, put forward by education representatives of a student association. The following are the illustrations I put together. The slogans were passed on to me, and I wanted to utilise bold, eye-catching type to grab the attention of passersby. The aim of the campaign was not necessarily to inform. Instead there was to be a greater emphasis on simply raising awareness, hoping that the words would be enough of an incentive to draw students in, alerting them to the fact that there is a dedicate group of students and professionals available to help with their education-based concerns and issues. The next step – contacting the Students Rights officers – is up to them.”
