NEW STOCK theprintarkive.co.uk/collect… Graphics Handbook (Ken Garland) Editor: Ken Garland Publisher: Reinhold/Studio Vista Publication: 1966 (Foreword) 'Graphic design is dependent for its effectiveness on many skills and technologies such as printing, photography and paper-making. Equally, the result of the graphic designer's skill affects a large, and increasing, number of recipients. In the production of periodicals, product information, directional signs, promotion devices, company house style and film credit titles, he may be in the key co-ordinating position. This manual attempts to define the media which are at the disposal of the graphic designer, to clarify the nature and scope of visual information as it relates to his work, and to supply in tabular form hard facts which are the essential background to any serious effort in this field...' #theprintarkive #indiebookstore #designbook #graphicdesignbook #designmagazine #typographybook #graphicart #visualculture #designhistory #designinspo #studiovista #KenGarland #GraphicsHandbook #1960sdesign #1960sgraphics

NEW STOCK theprintarkive.co.uk/collect… Typographica NEW Series, 1960-1967 (complete run) Editor: Herbert Spencer Publisher: Lund Humphries Publication: 1960-1967 Rare opportunity to acquire a complete set. The magazine Typographica – brainchild of founder, editor, designer, and renowned typographer Herbert Spencer – had a brief life, with a total of 32 issues (split over two series of x16) was published over nineteen years. But its influence stretched, and stretches, far beyond its modest distribution and print runs of the time. Remarkably, Spencer never intended to turn a profit, so no expenses were spared in the making of the magazine. Typographica is considered one of the most important and influential post-war visual arts magazines of its time. The magazines were profusely illustrated throughout, with colour and b/w plates, and commonly included different paper stocks and coloured inks, various inserts, advertisements, tipped-in sheets and fold-outs.

CALLING ALL CROWDFUNDERS I’ve just heard news that there’s the prospect of a wonderful new design monograph in the pipeline... ‘Penrose 1964-73: The Herbert Spencer Years’ is a limited edition book that brings together the best of Penrose, taken from the years that Herbert Spencer (of Typographica fame) was editor. Penrose holds a special place in my heart, as it was a copy of the 1958 Penrose Annual handed to me back in 1999 by my then creative director that kick-started my passion for collecting design books! Second to the fact that Mafalda Spencer, Herbert’s daughter, taught me at Falmouth College of Arts - I can’t recommend this book enough! Jump over to Kickstarter (just search for “Penrose”) to learn more and show your support to Graham Taylor who’s pulling this together… bravo Graham!! kickstarter.com/projects/185… penrose1964-73.com ——— #bookstagram #theprintarkive #indiebookstore #designbook #graphicdesignbook #designmagazine #typographybook #graphicart #designhistory #designinspo #typographica #herbertspencer #lundhumphries #1960sdesign #1960sgraphics #penrose #penroseannual #crowdfunding
