"Most printed literature is disposable: today's hot communication document is tomorrow's landfill. But the best brochures, catalogues and documents have permanence and organic completeness that has become important in the ephemeral, and increasingly electronic world of instant communications." "Contemporary Brochures, Catalogues & Documents features the best of contemporary printed literature. It offers a critical survey of current graphic design, showing work by leading practitioners from the USA, Europe and Japan. Arranged in a designer-by-designer format and accompanied by interviews with some of the designers responsible for the featured work, this book offers a complete and informative picture of this popular subject."--BOOK JACKET.
