Synopsis:
This legendary document of typographic creativity, after nearly fifty years watching words move, is now available for the first time as a trade book. New essays by top designers add value even for those already familiar with the original. It serves as a fun little gift book for designers and design students. In 1959, legendary designers Ivan Chermayeff and Tom Geismar produced a small booklet of typographic creativity called "Watching Words Move". Decades later, its impact is still felt. This simple reproduction of the innovative original includes thoughts by influential designers such as Michael Carabetta, George Lois, April Greiman, Steve Heller and Kit Hinrichs who add their thoughts on the lasting impact of this type primer.
About the Author: Ivan Chermayeff and Tom Geismar have been partners in their own design firm for over 45 years.
