(Preface) 'Typography Now: The Next Wave, Rick Poynor's collaboration with Why Not Associates, rapidly established itself as the one essential guide to the new typography of the 1980s and early 1990s. In Typography Now Two: Implosion, Poynor brings the story up to date by focusing on the experimental typography of the last five years - a period of remarkable energy and transformation as established rules were cast aside and a new conception of typographic design crossed the globe.
From the mainstream impact of Raygun, Wired and the multidisciplinary design team Tomato, to the exploratory type structures of Emigre and Form + Zweck magazine, Typography Now Two's panoramic survey of the most innovative designers and projects in print, advertising and the moving image makes it a vital resource for designers, students and anyone in communications and the media who needs to keep up with the latest thinking in a fast-moving field. An introductory essay examines the new typography's reception and impact, problems and potential, while four visual essays created specially for the book draw on revealing quotations from designers and commentators to point up key themes.
To aid the reader further, Typography Now Two has a number of new features. Extended captions explain the background and thinking behind selected projects and concise biographies list the achievements of featured designers. A concluding section focuses on postgraduate projects from the Royal College of Art, California Institute of the Arts and Cranbrook Academy of Art to give a vivid picture of the issues shaping typography's near future as it migrates from page to screen.'
