The Modernist
Editors: R. Klanten, H. Hellige
Today’s designers and illustrators are synthesizing the best elements from past eras of graphic design to create a new visual language with a reduced and rational approach. The Modernist documents this uniquely contemporary, yet timeless aesthetic that is built upon the rediscovery and seamless melding of classical type elements and collage of the 1950s, the geometric patterns and graphic elements of the 1960s and 1970s, and the vector graphics and computer-aided montage of the 1990s. With its fresh perspective on the legacy of past craftsmanship and quality in outstanding current work, The Modernist expands our understanding of what modern graphic design can be.

Minimalist Graphics
Minimalist Graphics
Julia Schonlau (author), Harper Design (Juni 2011), 336 pages, English
After a decade of visual overload, Minimalist Graphics heralds a new age of graphic design. By focusing on simpler, more fluid lines and shapes, minimalist design removes excess information from an already complex visual message. This book provides examples of the latest graphics that best typify the minimalist aesthetic; a collection that argues for a world where graphics can convey their content in both an efficient and visually attractive manner. A must-have for all modern designers.
