Great new book from Victionary: Type Addicted — The new trend of A to Z typo-graphics. I cannot wait to get my hands on this one.
"From 2D to 3D design, types are another key visual besides pure graphics and illustration. How to deal with types is a common challenge among designers/artists from various design disciplines.
Type is one of the graphic elements that designers always get addicted to play with. It is commonly used on almost every item in our daily life. The title not only presents a rich selection of experimental and inspirational typefaces and its application, it also reveals the diversity and innovative approaches of contemporary typography. Examples of work by up-and-coming practitioners as well as international and renowned icons are demonstrated; new directions and trend of nowadays typography around the world will also be disclosed eventually. This is truly developed for type addicts!"
