Deco Type by Steven Heller,Louise Fili Pdf

This is the book that graphic designers and type aficionados have been waiting for: the first book in Chronicle's Art Deco design series devoted exclusively to type. Garnered from vintage specimen sheets and catalogs as well as commercial design artifacts from Germany, France, Japan, Holland, Italy, Russia, Eastern Europe, and the United States, these alphabets illustrate how the stunning style of the twenties and thirties extended to every facet of graphic design, including the typographer's art. Deco typestyles, like Deco architecture and furniture, were the heralds of the Machine Age, designed to embody progress. Endowed with a jazzy modernistic sensibility and baptized with evocative futuristic names such as Vulcan and Metropolis, these spectacular typefaces paved the way for a new era of communication via the printed word. In Deco Type, the team of Steven Heller and Louise Fili have brought together a unique collection of wonderful typefaces - many that have lain hidden for decades - to create an inspirational reference for designers and graphic artists everywhere.

Art Nouveau & Early Art Deco Type & Design, from the Roman Scherer Catalogue by Roman Scherer A.G. Pdf

"The letter types and designs of the early 20th century, when Art Nouveau was moving toward the Art Deco styles, are now being recognized by graphic artists and designers for the truly unique and powerful designs they are. The floral patterns, highly personal lyricism, and gently flowing lines of Art Nouveau were taking on the Egyptian-styled, abstractly geometrical, almost overpowering characteristics which would later be identified as Art Deco. In the interim, the styles had the benefit of both--the strongly captivating Art Deco look with the lyrical, personal qualities of Art Nouveau. Among the most striking types and decorations during this period were the "caractères en bois" (wood type) of the Swiss firm of Roman Scherer at Lucerne. For this volume designer Theodore Menten has selected a wide range of borders, decorations and letter styles from the Roman Scherer catalogue. He includes borders--nearly 100 with up to four different sizes of each and enough repetitions for easy use. The borders range from floral patterns and leaf forms to highly abstract uses of circles and other geometrical shapes. There are approximately the same number of decorations including dividing lines in many different sizes ans styles, the traditional pointing hands, star shapes, a lyre, florals, abstracts and much more. The letter styles (a total of 24 with over 1,100 capital and lower-case letters) range from scripts, block forms and three-dimensional cuts to textured letters designed for two or more colors and gently rounded letters that seem almost sculpted out of wood."--Back cover.

Directory of Wood-framed Building Deconstruction and Reused Building Materials Companies, 2004 by Robert H. Falk Pdf

This is a directory of companies involved in wood-framed building deconstruction, dismantling and reused building materials, with an emphasis on those that use, resell, and/or re-manufacture salvaged wood. Companies in this directory range in scope from those that carryout targeted building removals, such as historic barns, strictly for the purpose of harvesting the antique wood in these buildings, to companies that conduct residential and commercial demolition where the primary goal is building removal, and the recovery of materials is conducted opportunistically as a by-product. The bulk of companies listed are those that either salvage or sell building materials. For ease of use, the directory lists companies two ways, alphabetically by state and then alphabetically by company type, and alphabetically by company type and then alphabetically by state.

The Great Depression in America [2 volumes] by William H. Young,Nancy K. Young Pdf

Everything from Amos n' Andy to zeppelins is included in this expansive two volume encyclopedia of popular culture during the Great Depression era. Two hundred entries explore the entertainments, amusements, and people of the United States during the difficult years of the 1930s. In spite of, or perhaps because of, such dire financial conditions, the worlds of art, fashion, film, literature, radio, music, sports, and theater pushed forward. Conditions of the times were often mirrored in the popular culture with songs such as Brother Can You Spare a Dime, breadlines and soup kitchens, homelessness, and prohibition and repeal. Icons of the era such as Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby, F. Scott Fitzgerald, George and Ira Gershwin, Jean Harlow, Billie Holiday, the Marx Brothers, Roy Rogers, Frank Sinatra, and Shirley Temple entertained many. Dracula, Gone With the Wind, It Happened One Night, and Superman distracted others from their daily worries. Fads and games - chain letters, jigsaw puzzles, marathon dancing, miniature golf, Monopoly - amused some, while musicians often sang the blues. Nancy and William Young have written a work ideal for college and high school students as well as general readers looking for an overview of the popular culture of the 1930s. Art deco, big bands, Bonnie and Clyde, the Chicago's World Fair, Walt Disney, Duke Ellington, five-and-dimes, the Grand Ole Opry, the jitter-bug, Lindbergh kidnapping, Little Orphan Annie, the Olympics, operettas, quiz shows, Seabiscuit, vaudeville, westerns, and Your Hit Parade are just a sampling of the vast range of entries in this work. Reference features include an introductory essay providing an historical and cultural overview of the period, bibliography, and index.
