Quick
now: the name of a famous artist? Piece of cake, right.
A famous designer? No problem. And a famous graphic
designer? Ah, um.
|
|
Maybe
it's the combination of an unhealthy obsession
with typefaces and the fact that - by design - their
best work goes unnoticed, but graphic designers rarely
become household names. Yet, like unsung heroes of everyday
life, they're the ones making our texts legible,
symbols meaningful, and packaging clear and attractive.
So who are these people? Who spends an afternoon discussing
the virtues of serif over sans serif, worries about
what Pantone colour is true red, and prefers studying
the font used rather than the dishes on the menu?

Find
out tonight when Grrr, the collective of self-proclaimed
graphic design fanatics, present their latest
publication. And this being the first in over
three years, it should be worth a look. Because
for this group, although unlikely to make it into
Vogue, appearances really are everything.
Grrrr:
presentation of issues 15 & 16
