Summary: Known for his revolutionary typefaces, Jonathan Barnbrook is the most sought after contemporary graphic 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, The Barnbrook Bible features a great deal of never-before-seen work-much of which was created specifically for the book.Possibly best known as a result of his collaboration with major figures in the international art scene such as the Saatchi Gallery and Damien Hirst, Barnbrook has won numerous awards for motion graphics for his commercial film work. His most celebrated collaboration includes art directing Adbusters, the leading activist magazine. He also produces copyright-free work that highlights political and social injustices. Unafraid to express his political viewpoint, Barnbrook has garnered both praise and criticism for releasing subversive typefaces named in a confrontational manner, such as Â"MansonÂ" (after the serial killer) that highlight the relationship of words to the letterforms that represent them. Â"Jonathan Barnbrook is a craftsman with a conscience: passionately committed to making a difference in the world and to making work of extraordinary beauty.Â" -Michael Bierut

Reseña del editor:

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.
