      This is a study of contemporary experimental approaches to layout - the essence of graphic design. At the heart of Experimental Layout is the sheer breadth of the discipline of graphic design, its adjustments and accommodation, the innovators and their idiosyncrasies. The theories behind contemporary graphic design are explained by the authors in essays (æSpatial DynamicsÆ, æForm Follows ContentÆ and æWords and PicturesÆ) which provide insights into current debates and the context within which experimental designers work. Interviews with Mark Pawson, Peter Willberg and Ian Warner reveal the processes behind the work, the intentions and motivations. Ian Noble and Russell Bestley have selected work from around the world which they believe ôis united in its concern to try different and challenging approaches, not for the sake of being different but because it is grounded in differenceö. Diaries, magazines, exhibition catalogs and books are among the work included in Experimental Layout . Projects range from rarely-seen personal projects to large-scale commercial work. In each case, the work questions or extends the boundaries of graphic design.

      Serious graphic design students and creative professionals will find this presentation of quantitative and qualitative research methods in visual communication invaluable. Fully illustrated with eye-opening real-life case studies, it focuses on the relatively unexplored process of design analysis. Illuminating and thought-provoking discussions deal with such issues as the audience, communications theory, experimentation in the studio, semiotics, and semantics. A final section features suggestions on how to synthesize practical and theoretical models, with strategies that working designers can really use.

      Poster, Flyer, Fanzines, Plattencover, Mode: Die Subkultur des Punk war in ihrer Blütezeit gekennzeichnet durch einen extrem nonkonformistischen Auftritt. Das Establishment wurde offen abgelehnt und brüskiert, die herrschende Ästhetik konsequent ignoriert. Das Unvollkommene, das radikal Individuelle wurde zu einer neuen Lebensweise. Die Entwicklung dieser stilprägenden Kunstform von den Vorläufern des Punk wie MC5, Velvet Underground oder den Ramones über die „Punk-Explosion“ mit den Sex Pistols, The Damned oder The Clash bis zu neueren Bands wie Green Day, Rancid oderOffspring ist Thema dieses Buches. Der Bogen spannt sich bis zu heutigen Anarcho Punk-Bands aus aller Welt. Mehr als 500 Abbildungen in chronologischer Reihenfolge zeigen die wegweisenden Arbeiten von Künstlern wie Jamie Reid, Peter Saville Lindsey Kuhn, Raymond Pettibon, Paul Imagine und vielen anderen. Dieses einzigartige Buch zeigt in wundervoller Gestaltung die vielen Facetten des Punk-Designs mit Beispielen aus 35 Ländern, von Belgien bis China, von Kolumbien bis zur Schweiz. Ein Standardwerk, verfasst von den ausgewiesenen Experten Russ Bestley und Alex Ogg.
