In a world where screen-based graphics and digital design dominate
the mainstream, an international community of independent designers has
embraced traditional printmaking techniques to create some of the most
innovative graphics ever.
For People of Print, Marcroy Smith, founder of the website
Marcroy, and Andy Cooke, his longtime collaborator, have brought
together the work of more than forty-five of the hottest designers,
illustrators, and collectives currently committed to the tactility,
materiality, and visible craft of print, alongside the gallerists and
promoters who are key figures in this creative scene. A dazzling array
of work is presented, made to adorn paper, posters, flyers, packaging,
fanzines, self-published books, textiles and fashion, and exhibition
design, accompanied by profiles of each printer, in-depth interviews,
information on innovative design techniques, and a comprehensive
reference section.
With a broad range of designers from the United States, Brazil, Denmark, Germany, France, Spain, Singapore, and beyond, People of Print
will be an essential and inspirational resource for graphic designers
and illustrators as well as anyone who appreciates that print is the
future.
