Point of view is not to be assumed in Felice Varini's graphic modifications of space. By painting strips of primary colors on the walls, pillars and ceilings of galleries, corridors and abandoned places, Varini alternately creates and destroys the effects of volume as perceived by the viewer. His diagonal lines, circles and squares simultaneously reveal and filter the reality of a place. Essay by Fabiola Lopez. Hardcover, 6.75 x 9.5 in./256 pgs / 220 color 0 BW0 duotone 0 ~ Item D20090

Color is rarely the sole focus of a poster, especially since color photography is a given component of most advertising. Thus it is often assumed that the graphic design world will always be brightly colored. But as this latest volume on the Poster Collection of the Zurich Museum fr Gestaltung sets out to prove, there are advantages to working in black and white. In a compilation of international posters created over the last 40 years, Poster Collection 09 brings to light a surprising variety of approaches where the color of the paper and the black of the ink are the only materials at hand. Those materials alone provide the creative will with the tools it needs to create a succinct statement. Examples come via designers like A.G. Fronzoni, Werner Jeker, James Victore and Bro Destruct, and range from the political manifesto to the poetic abstraction, from modernist cool to postmodern eclectic.

Helvetica is a sans-serif typeface. It is simple and clean, and commonly seen in advertising, signage, and literature. The R has a curved leg, and the i and j have square dots. The Q has a straight angled tail, and the counterforms inside the O, Q, and C are oval. It is an all-purpose type design that can deliver practically any message clearly and efficiently. It is one of the most popular typefaces of all time. Helvetica: Homage to a Typeface presents 400 examples of Helvetica in action, selected from two diametrically opposed worlds. Superb applications by renowned designers are juxtaposed with an anonymous collection of ugly, ingenious, charming, and hair-raising samples of its use. Designed in 1957 by Max Miedinger for the Haas foundry in Switzerland, Haas Grotesk, as the type was originally called, was based on the grotesques of the late-19th century but given new refinements that put it in the sans serif sub-category of neo-grotesque. The 1960s saw the typeface renamed Helvetica (for Helvetia, is Switzerland's Latin name) and introduced to the United States. Today, Helvetica is popular again, used by young designers for posters and party flyers. The book is Lars Müller's hommage to this icon of modern design, an icon which he favors in his own work. 
Helvetica is the typeface used on IRS forms. In Switzerland, it appears on everything from government papers to lingerie catalogues.
