"No question, this is the kind of children’s book that arty parents like to display in their Dwell-decorated nurseries. But it’s also the kind of book that will stir a wandering spirit in imaginative children. Klein’s delightful text, like Bass’s bold graphics, is spot on." ~The New York Times

Hitchcock Poster Art : From the Mark H. Wolff Collection
by Tony Nourmand
1999
by Tony Nourmand
1999
This stunning compilation contains posters for each of Hitchcock's films--even one from an early silent for which Hitchcock served as screenwriter and assistant director. The collection is incredibly thorough, including posters from foreign releases, lobby cards, and cover art from movie tie-in novels. The art itself is splashy and gorgeous, but this title is far more than eye candy. What a delight to track the evolution of film posters themselves over Hitchcock's 50-plus-year career, and to witness the stylistic differences between countries--the posters from Poland are disturbingly stark, especially in contrast to the colorful work from Japan.

"New York Times art director Steven Heller has teamed up with Phaidon to publish the first comprehensive survey of Rand's work - a hefty volume of 250 copiously illustrated, large-format pages... Heller skilfully weaves Europe's influence on Rand into the book... Only history will reveal if any graphic designer can bestride the 21st century as Rand did the 20th. If you don't already have his books, this would make a valuable addition to any designer's library." - Design Week

Thoughts On Design

"One impressive thing about Rand's book to me was always how much he was able to say about the nature of good design in 96 short pages (with the majority of those pages reproductions of his work). He was a master at arriving at designs that boiled down the essence of the intended messages, be it an advertisement or a corporate identity, and he similarly renders out the heart of basic design philosophy in this book." - BoingBoing
