Rudy VanderLans Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)

During the late 1980s and 1990s, graphic design underwent a transformative period marked by the introduction of the Apple Macintosh and a shift in design education. Design schools began exploring French linguistic theory, while the vernacular emerged as a significant source of inspiration. The democratization of typeface design allowed anyone with a computer to participate, and New York City was no longer the sole hub for graphic design innovation. In Berkeley, California, Emigre magazine recognized these pivotal changes, becoming both a participant and observer in this dynamic international design scene. With its successful digital type foundry, Emigre gained notoriety as one of the most popular and controversial graphic design magazines of its time, publishing 69 issues that featured interviews with design pioneers and critical essays from emerging writers. This book, designed and edited by co-founder Rudy VanderLans, compiles reprints from Emigre's journey—from its early bitmap designs to the experimental layouts of the "Legibility Wars" and critical writings of the early 2000s. Emigre No.70 is essential for those who missed the excitement and for long-time fans, making it a vital addition to any graphic design library. It includes interviews with notable figures like The Designers Republic and essays by prominent writers.

Das Diplom in der Tasche - ein herrliches Gefühl! Und wie geht es weiter? Trotz allem erworbenem Rüstzeug stellen sich dem Newcomer zahlreiche Fragen, die selten an der Hochschule beantwortet werden. Wie findet man den Job, der zu einem paßt? Welche Vor- und Nachteile hat der Kreative als lancer oder wie geht man die Selbständigkeit an? Der praxisorientierte Ratgeber begleitet daher gerade Einsteiger, die ihre Karriere vor sich haben und sich so manche vermeidbare Bauchlandung ersparen möchten. Interviews mit alten Hasen der Branche wie Neville Brody, John Warwicker, Rudy VanderLans und Alexander Gelman geben zudem Mut und Auftrieb, es auch zu schaffen.

For almost twenty years, and over sixty issues, Emigre has been a sourcebook of ideas, fonts, images, work, products, and even music for an entire generation of designers. Now, Emigre has transitioned into a new format, a return-to-roots series of "pocketbooks, " focusing on critical writing about the state of graphic design. Anyone interested in contemporary design will want to put a copy of Emigre in their pocket.

On the outskirts of civilization, where suburban man stumbles over nature, an untold drama is taking place. A relentless effort by present day frontiersmen to tame and overcome the inhospitable California desert. Rudy VanderLans takes us to the heart of this spectacle, where suburban elements meet vacuous space, where dubious claims of commerce stand fragile against a harsh light, where contemporary dwellers impose incongruous notions of luxury on a magnificent wilderness landscape. Supermarket captures the folly and the beauty of this colorful drama in all its ambiguity, with astounding photographic spreads that come at us like film, taken at slightly different angles, juxtaposed or duplicated in singularly bold symmetry. The iteration of the images so leveraged simulates a spatiality that transcends the ordinary two-dimensional page. Supermarket is a disturbingly beautiful book that takes us on a poetic journey through VanderLans' California, documenting our sometimes successful, sometimes futile attempt to transform an unfriendly environment into a bearable, happy land. Rudy VanderLans, co-founder and editor of 'Emigre' magazine, brings us inside this desert environment in small steps, taking us along the California coast heading south and then east through the built environment, setting the scene for our final destination.
