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.

ABOUT RIT PRESSGRAPHIC 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
