| "Emigre" No. 70 the Look Back Issue: Selections from "Emigre" Magazine 1-69. Celebrating 25 Years of Graphic Design: Celebratiing 25 Years in Graphic Design - Synopsis: During the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s, graphic design was experiencing one of its most exciting and transformative periods. The Apple Macintosh computer had been introduced, design schools were exploring French linguistic theory, the vernacular had become a serious source of study and inspiration, the design and manufacture of typefaces was suddenly opened up to everyone who could use a computer, and for the first time in the United States, New York City was no longer the place to look for the latest developments in graphic design. And in Berkeley, California, across the bay from Silicon Valley, Emigre magazine, like no other, recognized the significance of the events, and became both a leading participant and a keen observer of this innovative international design scene, generating a body of work and ideas that still resonate today.
Fueled by Emigre s successful digital type foundry, the magazine became one of the most popular and controversial graphic design magazines of its time. 69 issues were published in a variety of formats, featuring in-depth interviews with fellow design trailblazers and critical essays by an emerging group of young design writers.
This book, designed and edited by Emigre co-founder and designer Rudy VanderLans, is a selection of reprints, using original digital files,
tracing Emigre s development from its early bitmap design days in the late 1980s through to the experimental layouts that defined the so called Legibility Wars of the late 1990s, to the critical design writing of the early 2000s.
Also includes:
- CD with Select Audio Tracks & Video
- Select Letters to the Editor pamphlet
