sold🚀 Wim Crouwel: Mode en module🇳🇱 Design by karel Martens🇳🇱 1997 Edition: 2500 free worldwide shipment from tokyo✈️ with tracking number🛰 http://page-spread.com/wim-crouwel-mode-en-module/ The project of the book and its methods Wim Crouwel: mode en module attempts something new: to document and discuss at length and with full historical and critical consciousness the work of a living graphic designer. Even dead and safely ‘in-the-past’ graphic designers have not yet received this treatment. By comparison with the present book, other monographs are slight affairs or, where less than slight, tend to be overblown and uncritical. On a first encounter with it, the Crouwel book certainly gives an air of thoroughness: a solid squat paperback, weighing 1250 gm, pages packed with text and many photographs, a seemingly exhaustive illustrated catalogue of work that extends to almost 200 pages, a lengthy ‘biographical overview’, full bibliography, two indexes. The design of the pages tends to agoraphobia, with very narrow margins and column widths, and notes to both pages on a spread placed in the far left column of the left page. But the book’s marvellously strong and flexible binding lets this work: pages can open out flat, providing a single field of information. via hyphen press - - - - - - - - - - - - - #WimCrouwel#カレルマルテンス#KarelMartens#typography#dutchtypography#タイポグラフィ
