"Area is an exhibition in a book dedicated to 100 of the most significant new graphic designers today. It brings together the curatorial input of ten distinguished design leaders from around the world, each asked to select their ten favorite 'rising stars'--graphic designers who have emerged and broken new ground over the last five years ... Their choices are organized in A to Z order with each designer's work represented in four pages, along with an introductory text"--p. 5.
Body Type' is a re-edition of the legendary naked-women alphabet by Anthon Beeke originally published in 1969. This alphabet which was published in the famous Kwadraadblad serie by Pieter Brattinga, is a carefully composed representation of the letters of the alphabet using naked women. Beeke made the alphabet as a 'tongue in cheek' response to Wim Crouwel's New Alphabet published in the same series a year earlier. This new edition which is in colour, is complimented and enlarged with the numbers modelled by naked men all on individual sheets. It also contains a cahier with the history of the alphabet and a block continaing the letters which can be used to make a streamer. 'Body Type' was on exhibit at the University of Amsterdam in 2011.
