| Summary: | "Known for his revolutionary typeface designs, Jonathan Barnbrook is the most sought after contemporary designer working across a broad range of disciplines including graphic design, industrial design, typeface design, and film. In this first book by and about him, Barnbrook redefines the genre of the designer's monograph. In addition to art directing for the leading activist magazine Adbusters, Jonathan Barnbrook also puts great effort into producing copyright-free work that highlights political and social injustices. Font names such as Bastard, Patriot, Exocet, and Manson all challenge perceived values of the relevance of type design in relation to wider society."--BOOK JACKET. "Five years in the making, this is the first monograph on Jonathan Barnbrook, one of the foremost, innovative and controversial graphic designers of his generation. Barnbrook Bible, an artwork in itself, meticulously combines text, image and a diversity of reference material to give a complete picture of his output, including previously unpublished work." "The book showcases Barnbrook's creativity in many disciplines from film to graphic and font design, for which he is most famous. He has a broad spectrum of clients, all of whom have sought his singular graphic vision. This book also features an in-depth analysis of his groundbreaking design for the Damien Hirst book I Want To Spend The Rest Of My Life, Everywhere, With Everyone, One To One, Always, Forever, Now, a unique collaboration between an artist and designer." "Also included in this book are his personal political projects, which demonstrate the passionate belief underlying all his work, that graphic design should be a catalyst for discussion and change."--BOOK JACKET. |
