Product Description

Book Description

Currently, the region with the world's highest density of high-quality designers is indisputably Switzerland. Swiss graphic design, which is traditionally sparing, is now becoming an international sensation: its designers know how to often take radical creative approaches that are, at the same time, not conceited and give a light impression. The designers' creative approaches are then realized with expert craftsmanship and an obsession for detail. A further element that has helped the popularity of Swiss design a great deal is that its language of forms, which is often reduced, suits the Internet particularly well. For one, Swiss Graphic Design gives an overview of the most talented Swiss designers by documenting the high standard they have for the most typical applications such as vector-graphics, layout, fonts and illustration by showing some of the most remarkable works. The book also impressively proves how important it is for creative professionals the world over to develop their own local solutions and to be consistent in doing so. That is the reason why the book is a must-have not only for graphic designers, but for all who are interested in the visual. The famous Swiss author and professor of semoiotics André Vladimir Heiz could be won to write the preface. His insider point of view is more than just informative and provides for a defintion of the state-of-the-art of Swiss Graphic Design between tradition and revolution.

This review is from: Swiss Graphic Design (Hardcover)
I got this book as a gift. At first, I found it very interesting however, there's always better ones.Though, this is a good book for those who don't like to read... pictures and pictures of stuff. It's somewhat inspirational.

2.0 out of 5 stars Exhibition of bad taste, Jan 24 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Swiss Graphic Design (Hardcover)
Good things first - "Swiss Graphic Design" is well put together and well designed. However, while this book contains a high level of creative work and page after page of bright pictures, I found much of the content rather shocking and explicit. Rather than classic, beautiful design, this book focuses on very trendy material. But if that's what you want and sexually explicit work doesn't bother you, then you might enjoy all the interesting design work.

4.0 out of 5 stars nice coffee table book, Sep 16 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Swiss Graphic Design (Hardcover)
A very handsome cover at first glance, and quite extrodinare inside also.

Some awesome work from buro destruct, francois chalet, norm, remo, etc. you know... the elite swiss guys that have a nack for detail.

Overall, if your into graphics design, and currently have designers block, pick it up for a while, and get inspired again. But don't expect anything other than that. If not, it's still worth it in your graphics library for reference, and makes a nice coffee table book.
