Summaries and Customer Reviews are supplied by Amazon.com Doesn't Live Up | Customer Rating: | I am a fan of great typography, and within this annual series I have seen some beautiful work presented in a beautiful book. Typography 24 and 26 stand out as great examples, while this book, 27, just doesn't cut it.
Let's begin with the book's cover. It is a photograph of a lowercase x in some black didot with a cheesy reflection and almost no sense of design or attention to detail to be found. This isn't a beautiful typeface to photograph even. It looks like the work of a first-year typography student learning the history of typesetting.
The work inside is beautiful, yet my attention was constantly drawn to the credits which look like pages from a bad early 90s design magazine, and its divider pages I won't even begin to discuss as I might get so angry as to smash my fist through my iMac.
I don't know what happened since last year, but this book isn't the proud piece of design work that I would like to put on my coffee table for people to actually see. Maybe when Typography 28 comes out in a few months we'll have a book worth recommending. | Typography 27 | Customer Rating: | | A 'must have' for the professional Graphic Designer. Perhaps not the best edition, with a little too much Student work, but when you want to free the mind and flip through something that feels like NOW, The Type Directors Club Annual always does the the trick! | Great work as usual | Customer Rating: | | This 27th annual from the Type Director's Club does a great job selecting the best of the best in typographic designs. It's chock full of various pieces from calendars, journals, magazine spreads to student work. The annual can use some organizing. It does a great job displaying all of the winners. However, it doesn't do a good job in dividing works into catagories. Otherwise the work is top notch! |
