It deals with grid-based design and gives the reader techniques to develop new forms, fonts, logos, and patterns. The concept represents a design process in which individual decisions follow much larger and deeper principles than immediate and spontaneous-intuitive actions.Using a wide variety of examples, each chapter contains a detailed description of the procedure from form analysis to setting up design rules and their application. Both a workbook and a source of inspiration, this publication provides designers and architects with the tool they need to find analytical forms--analog, algorithm-based, exploratory but never of arbitrary origin.The procedures described allow an almost infinite number of possibilities. The designer is thus transformed from inventor to interpreter or curator, who assesses individual forms for logos, fonts or patterns on the fly and ensures that the design process is always efficient and goal-oriented.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49736483176721,"sku":"NGR9783037785935","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49879372169489,"sku":"GOR011891438","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51061689549073,"sku":"NIN9783037785935","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3037785934.jpg?v=1751457498"},{"product_id":"letters-from-m-m-paris-book-paul-mcneil-9780500025277","title":"Letters from M\/M (Paris)","description":"The definitive typographic exploration of the letter forms and typography of one of Europe’s leading design studio.      Letters from M\/M (Paris) is a comprehensive study of the typefaces produced by Michaël Amzalag and Mathias Augustyniak since they founded their influential art and design practice, M\/M (Paris).    For the first time, ninety of the designers’ typefaces are catalogued chronologically in a three-part volume, comprising the history of their development; exclusive type specimens; and detailed illustrations of projects in which they appear.     With a foreword by Björk – whose collaboration with M\/M spans over two decades – this encyclopaedic volume traces the distinctive and integral nature of type, lettering and signs in the work of M\/M, from one-off artistic commissions to fashion branding and their long-lasting collaborations with musicians and theatres.     This complete typographic collection is the perfect companion to the two-volume monograph M to M of M\/M (Paris), and will appeal not only to graphic designers, historians and students, but to anyone interested in art and visual culture.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49743655633169,"sku":"NGR9780500025277","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51002903855377,"sku":"NIN9780500025277","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53347490300177,"sku":"GOR012792383","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0500025274.jpg?v=1751445361"},{"product_id":"system-process-form-book-paul-mcneil-9780500027349","title":"System Process Form","description":"The ultimate typographic experiment – 7,762,392 typefaces from one of the world’s foremost typography studios.    System Process Form is a detailed survey of MuirMcNeil's Two type system, an extensive collection of geometric alphabets in which every stroke, shape, letterform and word is designed to correspond and collaborate in close harmony.     The methodologies demonstrated transcend the short-term limitations of single solutions to single problems, revealing the ways in which system, process and form constitute the bedrock of a successful design practice.    Using a combination of algorithm, chance and deliberation, a core database of 23 type systems and 198 individual fonts is interpolated to generate millions of hybrid forms in which every dot, line, space and letter is designed to correspond and collaborate in close harmony. The showcased examples, selected for their distinctively abstract and striking qualities, are printed in three vibrant neon inks and metallic black.     The result, far more than a mere catalogue of typefaces, demonstrates the power of excavating design problems at their deepest roots, allowing abundant and diverse outcomes to proliferate spontaneously.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49748139639057,"sku":"NGR9780500027349","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51002900807953,"sku":"NIN9780500027349","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/050002734X.jpg?v=1771499051"},{"product_id":"m-is-for-metal-book-paul-mcneil-9780975683408","title":"M is for Metal","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50135356932369,"sku":"CIN0975683403G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51503681175825,"sku":"GOR002205965","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52457138061585,"sku":"GOR007396424","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52936066007313,"sku":"CIN0975683403VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0975683403.jpg?v=1750884688"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-paul-mcneil.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
