Swiss Graphic Design
Still boasting one of the highest densities of high-quality designers, Switzerland is a uniquely coherent region. Dedicated to precision and effortlessly combining a modest, light touch with architectural themes and a healthy obsession for detail, Swiss designers have shaped their own visual language which, in its reduced formality, is particularly well suited to internet applications. A comprehensive overview of diverse talent, Swiss Graphic Design elegantly documents the outstanding standards and craftsmanship in all aspects of graphic design (vector graphics, typography, illustration and layout techniques) and illustrates the advantages of a unique, consistent and regional approach. In the preface Andre Vladimir Heiz provides a succinct classification of Swiss Design between tradition and revolution.

Vania
"Russian-born Vania Zouravliov's surreally haunting illustrations capture a mixture of innocence, beauty, and decay. Inspired by sources as seemingly opposite as Russian folklore, Japanese illustration, and pop culture, his drawings are elaborately composed and demonstrate the technical brilliance of an old master." [Publisher's statement].

Today's artists, illustrators, and designers are increasingly drawn to this artistic technique by the challenges of seamlessly melding traditional craftsmanship with skilled computer montage. They are not only composing a wide variety of visual elements, but are also deliberately omitting, deleting, and destroying them.
