After doing the majority of research for my written part of this brief, I began to look around me and notice that all around me, contemporary graphic is directly influenced by post-modern shifts in culture. I look to today's graphic design, and notice visual queues that have obviously been subconsciously soaked into the creative minds of many across the world.
Type Plus is a new title and a special exhibition showcasing a wide array of impeccable works created by best-known design practitioners from around the world. Bound together in a 320-page publication is a comprehensive overview of top quality design works produced using a combination of typography and graphic elements as means to increase design effectiveness and visual impact.
With its cover emblazoned nicely with silver type – cleverly designed by Spin – the book not only displays contemporary design artworks but it also takes an insightful look at all kinds of typographic expression and includes exclusives interviews with Non-Format, TwoPoints.net and Erik Brandt. The accompanying exhibition will also provide the foundation to understand the relationship between type and image which is represented by posters selected by Type Plus contributors.
