Gestalten new book, “The Modernist”.

The Modernist is a collection of work in graphic design and illustration that is created with minimal intrusions. The deliberately limited palette of colors, tools, and geometric forms that it uses makes the work seem both contemporary and timeless.

The book makes clear that today’s work does not simply copy the classic design of the 1960s and 1970s. Rather, it seamlessly includes the best aspects of the 1990s such as vector graphics and construction. Although computers do not dominate this design, they are clearly used as tools to play with elements that did not yet exist in the past and to merge the components and styles at hand in the best possible way.

I’ve also presented an other Gestalten book a few weeks: “Cutting Edges” that is worth a look.

The book is 35 euros and available here: http://shop.gestalten.com/books/the-modernist.html

I recently came accross these typographic portraits by Jonathan Muddell
on the One Off The Wall website.

I’m a big fan of Bob Dylan so the dylan ones caught my eye. There is something really powerfull in the detail. It really makes you want to explore it with a magnifying glass.
