Handmade (Poster Collection)

by Claude Lichtenstein (Contributor), Bastien Aubry, Stefan Sagmeister

Even after the emergence of clean digital design, graphic artists still like to get their hands dirty. Poster Collection 11: Handmade , the latest in the series from the poster collection of the Zurich Museum fr Gestaltung, presents both international and Swiss works whose makers have used their own hands for a variety of reasons--autonomy, spontaneity, independence, or delight in experiment. This might manifest itself in turning the current idiom on its head with analogue processing of a digital aesthetic or, more radically still, in the inclusion of solids and other material in the making of the poster or in duplicating by hand. Nevertheless, these works are a long way away from retro-romanticism. Contemporary, cutting-edge design arbiters like Stefan Sagmeister and Cornel Windlin show you how it's done.
