That this is an inspiring collection was confirmed for me as I was sending back many hundreds of samples to generous contributing graphic artists. I collected many times more material than the book could hold, partly to be thorough in the research and partly because of my great interest in the subject. As I repacked slides into sleeves and printed matter into envelopes, I was struck by the cleverness, beauty and functionality even of the pieces that did not make it into the book. Then I knew that we had assembled the best of the best. When possible, readers also learn how much the project cost and how it was received by its audience.
Paper can be an elegant solution to the challenges of graphic design.
Collected in these pages you will find graphic design in which the qualities of the paper itself inspired or directed the finished piece. Seven chapters present more than 200 inspiring examples of graphic design. First published in 1973, the Graphic Artists Guild Handbook of Pricing and Ethical Guidelines has become the essential source for fair prices and practice. Assembled by the national organization for graphic artists, this 10th edition contains the latest information on business, pricing and ethical standards for nearly every discipline in the visual communications industry, from advertising to publishing to corporate markets. This work provides much of the business orientation a person needs in order to seek faire compensation for their work.
