Rereading Bob Gill for the First Time

by Ben King November 4, 2011

It is in no way hyperbolic to say that Bob Gill’s latest book, Bob Gill, So Far (Laurence King, $50), should be required reading in every design school. Additionally, it should have a place on all right-thinking designers’ bookshelves. In fact, the only argument against buying this work by one of America’s greatest graphic thinkers is [...]

Behind the Scenes of "Lucky"

by Debbie Millman November 2, 2011

Since July of 2010, I have been creating monthly visual essays for Imprint. These pieces are part art, part poetry, part storytelling and part design.

by Steven Heller October 13, 2011

Simplicissmus, or der Simpl, was Germany's most acerbic graphic satire journal (founded in 1896).

Taking A Turn Of The Century Book at Face Value. . . or Quitting While You’re A Head

by J. J. Sedelmaier October 10, 2011

When it comes to printed material, I’ve grabbed some pretty strange stuff over the years to add to the studio’s reference library. Sometimes I’ll acquire a book just for its dust jacket, other times it could be a tome illustrated in a unique style I’d never seen (often for good reason) before. This has produced [...]
