VIGNELLI DRAWINGSMASSIMO VIGNELLI
For the first time readers can look inside Massimo Vignelli’s book design process. Never seen before, ten of his book designs are deconstructed showing his page grid, hand drawn sketches and the photography on the printed pages. Vignelli said, “The grid is an integral part of book design. It’s
not something that you see physically. It’s just like underwear. You wear it but it is not exposed.” In this age of digital visualization, it is refreshing to see a master designer’s ability at drawing. Published by Rochester Institute of Technology’s Vignelli Center for Design Studies.

RIT Press is a scholarly publishing enterprise at Rochester Institute of Technology. Established in 2001 as RIT Cary Graphic Arts Press, the Press initially focused on publishing titles that documented graphic communication processes, printing history, and bookmaking. As its editorial policies have evolved, the Press has broadened its reach to include content that supports all academic disciplines offered at Rochester Institute of Technology, our host institution. These include — but are not limited to — business, computer science, applied science and technology, engineering, graphic arts, deaf studies, and liberal arts. In 2007, an additional imprint, RIT Press, was established for all titles not related to the graphic arts. As of 2013, all publications carry this imprint.

GRAPHIC ARTSTHE DARK NIGHT RETURNS The Contemporary Resurgence of Crime ComicsTERRENCE WANDTKE
Crime comic books in the 1950s caused controversy leading to their suppression and near extinction. Twenty-five years later, the dark hero, femme fatale, and bleak outlook of crime story comic books are even more striking and subversive. Terrence Wandtke traces the history of crime comics from their beginnings to the current resurgence and analyzes the cultural forces that give rise to influential works like Frank Miller’s Sin City, Brian Azzarello’s 100 Bullets, and Ed
Brubaker’s Criminal. £25.00 February 2015978 1 933360 86 733 colour illus.; 206pp, 10 x 7, PBComics Studies Monograph SeriesRIT Press
