Shadow Type by Steven Heller
The first-ever compilation of shadow typefaces is now available in paperback. Letters with relief and shadow have long been an effective way to add spectacle or intrigue to otherwise mundane words. Shadow Type presents a broad spectrum of examples--advertising, shop signs, billboards, posters, type-specimen books-- drawn from the nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century, a particularly rich period in the history of shadow type. Compiled by the leading historian of graphic design, Steven Heller, and renowned graphic designer Louise Fili, this invaluable collection, packed full of typographic ideas, will inspire anyone aiming to give more depth to their design.Louise Fili is a well-known graphic designer who has co-authored more than a dozen books and is a member of the Art Directors Hall of Fame. Every major design competition has honored her, including the Society of Illustrators and the New York Art Directors Club.
