A retrospective of a distinguished graphic designer, influential on both sides of the Atlantic

A consistent vision pervades the design endeavors of Philippe Apeloig. Over time, he as crafted a visual language strongly connected to rhythm, structure, pattern, space, and choreography, a language that invites us to wander through a thicket of letters, lines, and shapes that coalesce into something magical.

Apeloig's career began in 1985 when he designed the poster for the Musée d'Orsay's first exhibition, "Chicago, Birth of a Metropolis." He has since created many more seminal posters and his own typefaces, includes Octobre and Drop. This book, published to accompany a major exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, surveys and explores the entirety of Apeloig's graphic design process and philosophy, reproducing posters, logos, visual identities, books, and animations, and analyzing the influences that fuel his work. It will be required reading for anyone concerned with the recent history of graphic design.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"More than a collection of images. . . . The section of sketches is what proves to be most illuminating; the stormy mind of Apeloig unfolds as he brainstorms and experiments on paper and in digital form."
― Cool Hunting

"Typorama could be required design history reading, but its real value lies in [the] examples of the creative process. Will the lessons be lost on today’s designers, who work in a nanosecond, nanobyte world? Will they want to spend the time that the volume demands? One can only hope the answer is yes."
― Communication Arts

"A typographic feast that showcases modern work, exploring his creative process along with his personal and artistic motivations."
― Print Magazine

"Will become essential reading for anyone with an interest in the recent history of graphic design."
― Juxtapoz

Good overview of one of the best graphic designers working today.

The book is the catalog of a large exhibition of Apeloig's work we saw in Paris this spring. Many images which have commanded our attention in the past are in the book as well. Apeloig deserves far more recognition than it seems he gets, and should certainly be considered in the top rank of working modern artists.

Very inspiring

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 25, 2014

Verified Purchase

I seen this show on a trip to paris and it was a really good show and inspired my current graphic design work. The designer tells you how he works and his inspiration which is normally not seen. I bought this to keep going back to what I really liked about his work. This designer actually gave me my idea for my final project in university

Good Typography is Great Graphic Design

I visited the exposition in Les Arts Decoratifs and was swept away.
As the Art and Design students there, who made sketches, I was amazed from the timelessness of this designer's work.
We all have to learn - even from contemporaries like Philippe Apeloig.

Ottima pubblicazione sul grafico francese Apeloig. E' interessante anche perché una parte del libro è dedicata allo sviluppo dei progetti, per capire il metodo di lavoro.
