Futuratwothousand
Futura has been bringing the visual language of hip-hop & the street to a worldwide audience for over three decades. Now he has produced his first book that is an extension of his work.
Futura
This is a stunning examination of one of the most popular typefaces ever created, Futura. Celebrating its 90th anniversary this year, the story of Futura is a fascinating one. From its Bauhaus origins to its use as the first font on the moon in 1969, this book tells the story of how the typeface went from representing radicalism in design to dependability. It is durable and timeless, and is worthy of being rediscovered and celebrated.
Never Use Futura
It's everywhere, including the moon (on the commemorative plaque left by Apollo 11 astronauts), Nike sneakers, the artworks of Barbara Kruger, Ed Ruscha, and Jenny Holzer, 2001: A Space Odyssey credits, Domino's Pizza boxes, Absolut Vodka bottles, and Red Bull cans. Richard Nixon used it for his presidential campaign, as did Hillary Clinton. Indeed, Futura is one of the most used fonts in the world today—the typeface of modern design—more so even than Helvetica. This fascinating book explores the cultural history and uses of a face that's so common you might not notice, until you start looking, and then you can't escape it. Douglas Thomas traces Futura from its Bauhaus-inspired origin in Paul Renner's 1924 design, to its current role as the go-to choice for corporate work, logos, motion pictures, and advertisements. Never Use Futura is illuminating, sometimes playful, reading, not just for type nerds, but for anyone interested in how typefaces are used, take on meaning, and become a language of their own.
Futura: the Art of R. Black
Sparkling as polished chrome, slick as oiled leather, hard as a scorned woman's stare, the poster art of Rich Black is renowned for its elegant line, razor-sharp design and dark pulp motifs, creating an instantly recognizable synergy of cool elegance and hot eroticism. Rich Black's dark world is a steamy landscape of leggy sirens, gleaming bikes, spiked heels and leather-clad devils. Foreword by Brian Ewing, illustrator and designer for companies such as DC Comics, Hustler, Marvel, Vans Warped Tour; and well known as a poster artist for bands such as My Chemical Romance, Dropkick Murphys, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and more!
Futura
The most in-depth and comprehensive survey of the life and career of one of the pioneering artists of the original graffiti generation. Having forged his graphic style painting subways in New York in the late 1970s, Futura was among the first graffiti artists to be shown in contemporary galleries in the early 1980s, where his paintings shared space with works by Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Kenny Scharf. As the commercialization of street culture in the 1990s inspired collaborations with fashion and lifestyle brands, Futura's work moved toward a more refined expression of his abstract graffiti style. Commissions from era-defining brands such as A Bathing Ape, Stüssy, Supreme, and...
