Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh and provocative take on typography, computing, and popular culture, viewed through four idiosyncratic typographical phenomena from the digital age. From ASCII Art to Comic Sans offers an original vision of the history of typography and computing in the digital age, viewed through the lens of offbeat typography. We often regard text as pure information and typography as a transparent art form without meaning of its own. In this richly illustrated book, however, Karin Wagner offers a fresh perspective that shows how text is always an image that conveys meaning, and how typography, far from being meaningless, has in fact shaped modern visual and material culture in significant ways. By juxtaposing four odd typographical phenomena—the pedantic practice of ASCII art, the curious-looking machine-readable typefaces, the blurry letters of dot matrix printers, and the much-maligned font Comic Sans—Wagner paints a vivid picture of how functional technologies influence popular culture when used in ways their original creators never intended. Design practitioners, as well as fans of media, graphic design, type history, and computer technology, will enjoy this breezily sophisticated perspective on visual and digital culture. Spanning the material and visual aspects of typography from the 1960s to the present, From ASCII Art to Comic Sans is a unique contribution to the study of popular and material culture that fills a gap in the history of typography and computing.
Download or read book Graphic Wit written by Steven Heller and published by Watson-Guptill Publications. This book was released on 1991 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Graphic Wit, the first book offering a comprehensive survey of humor in graphic design, Heller and Anderson focus on that special instinct for playfulness inherent in all design, and show the many forms it can take in a skilled graphic artist's hands. Loaded with examples of successful design humor in such varied forms as book and record jackets, logos, posters, typography, and advertising, Graphic Wit examines the approaches designers can use for comic effect, including repetition, alteration of scale, and juxtaposition, as well as such specific mechanisms as visual puns, parody, nostalgia, wordplay, and typeplay. Case studies of successful ad campaigns reveal how humor can be used for maximum effectiveness and memorability, and in-depth interviews with 14 design luminaries, including Paul Rand, Paula Scher, and Stephen Doyle, provide insight into the play principle, making humor pay off financially, and the challenges involved in humorous design."--back cover.
