Dirk Rudolph (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 2000

Spark is the highly entertaining collection of one of Europe's finest and most influential graphic designers, Dirk Rudolph. Those not familiar with his name may well remember some of his significant artworks for musicians like Rammstein or Bryan Adams - amongst others. What makes his style so unique is his uncompromising talent of combining photo material with graphical elements and text, leading to solutions which often leave the viewer in an uncertainty whether any other solution could have ever applied.

Dirk Rudolph's design, known to me before through Rammstein, shows clean compositions pleasing to the eye no matter its contents, great use of photographic elements and an exquisite combination of creative graphic impressions, not to mention the incredible text distribution, shows talent beyond doubt.

Great usage of photography as a graphic and combining it with typography. Different approach. A must have for a designer.
