Product Description
Book Description
Oversized to do justice to its highly pictorial contents. Emigre's ninety-six 11" X 15" pages brimming with ground-breaking Mac-generated typography, illustration, and graphic design culled from the pages of Emigre magazine.
From the Back Cover
In 1984 a radically new graphic design magazine set out to explore the as-yet-untapped and uncharted possibilities of Macintosh-generated graphic design. Boldly new and different, Emigre broke rules, opened eyes and earned its creators, Rudy VanderLans and Zuzana Licko, cult status in the world of graphic design. After a decade of publishing, the jury is still out on Emigre. But now, thanks to this comprehensive 10-year retrospective, you can reach your own conclusions. Are Emigre's Mac-generated graphics important, influential and controversial...or just plain ugly? You decide. 'The only people who have trouble reading Emigre are graphic designers who have been trained to make type clear. The rest of the world doesn't live in that purist atmosphere. ' -Chuck Byrne, Print Magazine, September 1992 Here gathered together for the first time, you'll find: Every Emigre cover ever issued A full catalog of over 80 Emigre typefaces Emigre's most striking editorial layouts Plus stimulating and provocative commentary from both Rudy VanderLans and Zuzana Licko How has a magazine that prints just 7,000 copies managed to outrage so many graphic designers while inspiring so many others? The answer is in your hands.

A Must Book for Every Graphic Designer,
By
This review is from: Emigre: Graphic Design into the Digital Realm (Paperback)
The Emigre story traces the fascinating development of a magazine that introduced digital typography to the design world.Rudy Vanderlans created Emigre in 1984, the year in which the the Macintosh computer changed graphic design and typography forever. In its early years, the brilliant experimental type/design publication featured fonts designed Zuzana Licko, a pioneer in designing typefaces on the computer for the computer. Her early bitmap fonts, designed to be used on dot matrix printers, created an uproar in a design community that was already reeling from the drastic changes in typesetting and production methods. With the introduction of high res PostScript outline technology, Licko's designs became more sophisticated and designers began to appreciate the ability to design with typography in ways never thought possible. This book traces the journey of digital type from shocking to mainstream and contains fascinating quotes from influential design professionals. Of special interest are many examples of the best work from the early Emigres, including all of the bold, memorable covers. A must for every graphic design library.

Strickly for typographers only,
By Assaf Meron (New York City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Emigre: Graphic Design into the Digital Realm (Paperback)
I think this book is a wonderfull thing for typofreaks and i recommend it full heartedly for any typographer out there.As for the rest of us mortals in the design cummunity, i dont believe there anything of interest in this book ( or should i say - large notebook) because it has no 'eye candies' of any sort, printed in two colors (black and ochre), has too much text in it and in general- looks bad.
