(Preface) 'The Graphic Edge continues the exploration of experimental graphic design initiated by the popular survey Typography Now: The Next Wave and forms an essential companion to that volume. It shows new work from the international cutting edge which is already having a profound impact on the way that forward-looking designers think about graphic design.
As we move deeper into the 1990s, The Graphic Edge finds many designers reacting against the typographic contortions and design-overload of the last few years and reassessing the ways in which type and image can interact to create graphic meaning.
The approaches gathered here, in more than 250 colour images, range from the cool and considered to the raw and brutal; from densely layered constructions made fluid and expressive by the new digital technology, to an accessible conceptualism that owes much to the example of media artists exploring design conventions, language and type. What links these designers - many of them working apart from the commercial mainstream at the edge of the profession - is their search for a graphic language appropriate to the times and their refusal to compromise or stand still.
A lucid introduction highlights the essential themes and influences of the new work, and discusses the ideas and approaches of key designers, all of whom, in their different ways, are extending our conception of what is possible and permissible in graphic design.'
