Wim Crouwel's design is not in the past but in front of us all the time...
He is one of the most representative graphic designer of the 20th century. This omnibus book shows all his career that commenced after the world warⅡ in Holland. Well known as his rigid grid system with no excption, the experimental typographies for computers, the disciplined art direcion for museums and the projects of Total Design founded by himself, the chronological overview of his work along over 60 years can be seen. A long interview by Tony Brook (President, Spin / Unit Editions) is also included. Rational as he calims that the information is as number one, innovative as always focused on the technology, this book reveals the background of how such a unique, expressive, experimental, yet artistic modern design was created.
