New Book

I know this has been hyped all over the place but my copy of Corporate Diversity, Swiss Graphic Design and Advertising by Geigy just came in the mail today (unfortunately with a bent corner on the cover, but I get books to read them, not sit on the shelf). After a quick thumb through, there are some outstanding samples in this book, and I can’t wait to dive into it in detail. There’s also a lot more text than I was expecting, which is nice, I do feel like I get more out of a design book when I can read about the backstory. Straight up, picture-book design porn always leaves me feeling a little unsatisfied, but I guess that’s the nature of the beast.

PS: The image above was stolen from the excellent Grain Edit design blog. If you’re not familiar, you should definitely check it out.
