Emotional Digital: A Sourcebook of Contemporary Typographics

The growth of electronic media has brought about a revelation in graphic expression, primarily through typography. With a computer and access to the Internet, designers are able to create new fonts and distribute them around the world. Emotional Digital presents an international selection of today's most beautiful and exciting typefaces, introduced by the designers themselves. Fifty of the most influential graphic-design companies have submitted a wide range of examplesfrom brochures and flyers to postcards, type-specimen books, and postersthat show just how expressive and personal type can be. Hundreds of fonts have been selected for their originality, impact, and longevity. In many cases they have been created and applied by the same person, so the designer's original vision, from "cutting" the typeface to the final printed or digital result, can be seen as a continuous process. With a reference section containing lists of typefaces and designers, Emotional Digital will prove to be an indispensable resource for designers, art directors, and typophiles everywhere. Over 500 color illustrations.

Airports are places with multi-layered identities that millions of people pass through and where cultures meet: On the one hand, the history and the design heritage of the particular country can be identified and local characteristics are intensified and reinforced almost stereotypically. On the other hand, airports represent hypermodern functional environments in which processes are internationally standardized and maximally efficient, with a strong emphasis on entertainment and consumption. Guidance systems navigate people through airports. The graphic language creates an image in the viewer's head carrying the respective identity in its own compact form through color, fonts, and pictograms. The authors, both specialists in the field, decipher this identity and trace its emergence and evolution over the decades. From the perspective of information design, they examine and analyze the wayfinding systems of approximately 70 airports by aligning their identities and functions.
