Latin American Graphic Design





"Latin American Graphic Design" I've been looking into graphic design lately - not designing myself, but just admiring the art and artists. I found this book at Ward Borders yesterday and I fell in love with it. The colors, concepts and vulgarity of some illustrations forced me to put it on hold until Monday. What a joke. I can't even afford it with that 40% off Labor Day coupon. It's really nice to look at though.

The book is written in three different languages, English, French and German. It features "the best Latin American graphic designers of yesterday and today" as well as a historical essay praising the originality & and development of graphic design in Latin America. You can look through the book online. It's really an interesting book to have on your shelf. I've gotten so many ideas just from flipping its pages.
