Looking at this lovely anonymous design for the 1893 ed. of Rip Van Winkle, with its poppies/sleepiness disrupted by the winds of change blowing among them, and the thistles! Photo: Simon Cooke. https://victorianweb.org/art/design/books/315.html #bookdesign

Title, bendy poppies and flying thistles all in gilt on a dark background

Sublime catalogue de l’exposition Le souffle de l’architecte, Bijoy Jain - Studio Mumbai, à la Fondation Cartier (12/2023-04/2024). Papiers, encres, format, couleurs, composition des images et textes : ce livre est pensé comme un espace traversé par une brise, par des ombres. (Les photos ne rendent absolument pas grâce, il faut le tenir entre les mains)

Extrait du catalogue Le souffle de l’architecte :
Lumière cendrée
Phénomène causé par la réflexion de la lumière du Soleil sur laTerre, renvoyée vers la Lune. Vue de la Lune, la Terre est cinquante fois plus brillante que la pleine lune vue de la Terre, ce qui signifie que la face cachée de la Lune ne connaît jamais de nuit vraiment noire. Ce clair de Terre a été expliqué pour la première fois par Léonard de Vinci au XVI siècle. Le phénomène est également appelé « lueur cendrée » ou, plus poétiquement, « la vieille lune dans les bras de la nouvelle ».

Today's reading: short stories by Doris Lessing

#books #reading #DorisLessing #ShortStories #BookCovers #BookDesign

Paperback copy of Doris Lessing's book The Habit of Loving, published by Penguin in 1960. It's off-white with a black and white illustration of a woman and man dancing, the woman facing away with her hands on his shoulders, his hands clasped behind her back. He's in a dark suit; she's in a light dress with spaghetti straps and a rose on the back. Her hair is tied up; his eyes are closed. Two thick orange bands run vertically down either side of the cover, and two thin black lines run horizontally, framing the illustration. The book's cost is given as 2'6 in old UK money.

An article about Arthur Calame has been kicking around the aggregators but it doesn't seem to link to his work. www.arthurcalame.com #typography #bookdesign

Sample setting for typeface Install, four lines of yellow, orange, green capitals on a black background, showing the idiosyncratic mix of rounded and sharp corners of the typeface.

This never changed. Late last year I visited an old family friend and of course my main priority while they were occupied in the kitchen or whatever was scouring their bookshelves which had some incredible finds. Since we've been talking about #bookdesign. bsky.app/profile/symb...

Maquette de la couverture de «Le Petit doigt sous la guillotine» de Maria Rostocka, à paraître aux Éditions FLBLB, 2026

Polices : Cyrulik

#graphisme #bandedessinee #bookdesign #editionsFLBLB

Sur la 1re de couverture du livre, un dessin de l'autrice enfant qui mange un sandwich en levant la tête devant une grande statut qu'on devine être une représentation de la Liberté guidant le peuple, mais le cadrage du dessin coupe la tête de la statue.

Sur la 4e de couverture du livre, un dessin de l'autrice enfant qui sirote un soda en levant la tête devant une grande statut qu'on devine être une représentation d'un travailleur de La république populaire de Pologne, mais le cadrage du dessin coupe la tête de la statue.

Le texte de présentation du livre : «Pas facile d’être une enfant à la fin des années 1980 ! À six ans, tu quittes la Pologne pour la France, et là tu ouvres des yeux grands comme des billes de loto. C’est quoi toutes ces pubs à la télé ? Pourquoi Chirac a-t-il un gros nez ? Pourquoi autant de plastique dans les magasins ? Et toutes ces têtes coupées pour le bicentenaire de la Révolution française ? Est-ce qu’on ne pourrait pas introduire le concept en Pologne communiste ? »
