Download or read book Posters written by Elizabeth E. Guffey and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2014-10-15 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From band posters stapled to telephone poles to the advertisements hanging at bus shelters to the inspirational prints that adorn office walls, posters surround us everywhere—but do we know how they began? Telling the story of this ephemeral art form, Elizabeth E. Guffey reexamines the poster’s roots in the nineteenth century and explores the relevance they still possess in the age of digital media. Even in our world of social media and electronic devices, she argues, few forms of graphic design can rival posters for sheer spatial presence, and they provide new opportunities to communicate across public spaces in cities around the globe. Guffey charts the rise of the poster from the revolutionary lithographs that papered nineteenth-century London and Paris to twentieth-century works of propaganda, advertising, pop culture, and protest. Examining contemporary examples, she discusses Palestinian martyr posters and West African posters that describe voodoo activities or Internet con men, stopping along the way to uncover a rich variety of posters from the Soviet Union, China, the United States, and more. Featuring 150 stunning images, this illuminating book delivers a fresh look at the poster and offers revealing insights into the designs and practices of our twenty-first-century world.

Book excerpt: Packaging design became established as a specialist discipline in the 1960s, yet few books have been published that offer sound practical advice for students. Now Bill Stewart describes the whole design process from concept creation to production, including the all-important considerations of brand development and the designer's obligations and responsibilities to the environment. The methods described mirror the design process widely adopted commercially, ensuring a relatively painless transformation from student to design practitioner. This introduction to the subject is illustrated by a wide range of packaging examples and also includes useful tips and ideas for the designer. Concluding with a chapter on careers advice, the book will be of interest to all students involved with packaging, whether their specialism is structural or graphic design, product design, marketing, or consumer behavioral studies.
