Five years in the making, an in-depth survey of Pentagram from its beginnings in 1970s London to its current status as one of the powerhouses of international design

Pentagram: Living by Design (two volumes) is the definitive statement on 50 years of Pentagram. This is an in-depth survey of the group from its beginnings in 1970s London to its current status as one of the powerhouses of international design.

Book one, The Biography, offers a comprehensive analysis of the group, its partners, its achievements, its multidisciplinary approach, and its unique business model. This is accompanied by a plethora of images (some never published), a visual essay of Pentagram’s work across four main sectors, a selection of partners writings, a Pentagram family tree, and much more.

Book two, The Directory, has profiles of 50 partners, past and present, accompanied by extensive coverage of their work. It’s a stellar roll call: from the five famous founders to some of the most celebrated names in contemporary design. It also includes a list of everyone who worked in the firm’s various offices.

Both books are designed by Tony Brook and the Spin design team and use a range of paper stocks and special colours.

Highlighting the achievements of artisans from ancient Egypt to 18th-century France, this treasury of historic motifs is an unparalleled source of beauty and inspiration.

The exquisite creations embody our best artistic endeavors, and offer a glimpse of the greatness of the civilizations that produced them. Their sheer beauty and charm are enough for us to marvel at, let alone the large sum of resources, efforts and time poured into making them. In this book, we hope to follow our predecessors’ footprints in the endless pursuit of exquisite beauty, and to explore the possibilities of how this style might blaze new trails in today’s graphic design world.

“Rough” could be naive, crude, intuitive, or raw. In art and design, “rough” approaches to creation tend to touch viewer’s heart with its naturalness, honest and boldness. Looking back at our rough art heritage and focusing on the rough graphic design of our time, this book presents and concludes the different approaches of rough expression. In it we could find out why and how artists created childlike lines and colors, torn and rubbed the paper, or collected trash from streets. Through interviews with the designers, we could also explore how they make a rough image “awfully” good. After reading this book, we might become more fascinated by such visual roughness.

The multidimensional nature and simplicity of geometric shapes have fascinated designers since design's early days

The creative possibilities that they offer are unlimited, and we interpret them constantly. Whereas the rectangle represents symmetry and order, the square, with its equal faces and angles, denotes calm and neutrality, and the circle evokes perfection and infinity.

Shapes: Geometric Forms in Graphic Design reveals how the most innovative studios and agencies continue to reinvent geometric shapes to create new design philosophies.

This is an essential guide for those who wish to incorporate new insights into their creative repertoire.

Symbols play an integral role in almost all branding programs. This book explores the visual language of symbols according to their most basic element: form.

Over 1,300 symbols from all over the world are included and have been organised into groups and sub-groups according to their visual characteristics. Presented in this unique way, the reader can enjoy them as a pictorial language in their own right, making this an indispensable archive of identity systems for designers and researchers.
