During the late 1980s and 1990s, graphic design underwent a transformative period marked by the introduction of the Apple Macintosh and a shift in design education. Design schools began exploring French linguistic theory, while the vernacular emerged as a significant source of inspiration. The democratization of typeface design allowed anyone with a computer to participate, and New York City was no longer the sole hub for graphic design innovation. In Berkeley, California, Emigre magazine recognized these pivotal changes, becoming both a participant and observer in this dynamic international design scene. With its successful digital type foundry, Emigre gained notoriety as one of the most popular and controversial graphic design magazines of its time, publishing 69 issues that featured interviews with design pioneers and critical essays from emerging writers. This book, designed and edited by co-founder Rudy VanderLans, compiles reprints from Emigre's journey—from its early bitmap designs to the experimental layouts of the "Legibility Wars" and critical writings of the early 2000s. Emigre No.70 is essential for those who missed the excitement and for long-time fans, making it a vital addition to any graphic design library. It includes interviews with notable figures like The Designers Republic and essays by prominent writers.

Gerade nach Abschluss des Studiums sind Designer oft ratlos: Wohin soll die berufliche Reise nur gehen? Gerüstet mit den handwerklichen Fähigkeiten und der eigenen Kreativität steht die Marschroute längst noch nicht fest. In diesem Band wird all das Wissen vermittelt, welches in der Ausbildung kaum oder gar nicht zur Sprache kommt: Wie finde ich einen Job? Ist die Selbständigkeit für mich eine Option? Wie führe ich ein Studio? Wie vermarkte ich mich selbst? Wie gelingt mir der erfolgreiche Umgang mit Kunden? Und vor allen Dingen: Wie verkaufe ich Kreativität und nicht mich selbst? Erst nach Lektüre dieses praxis- und lebensnahen Wegweisers, der durch Interviews mit renommierten Designern die unterschiedlichen Themen untermauert, ist man wirklich fit und gestärkt für den beruflichen Alltag.

For almost twenty years, and over sixty issues, Emigre has been a sourcebook of ideas, fonts, images, work, products, and even music for an entire generation of designers. Now, Emigre has transitioned into a new format, a return-to-roots series of "pocketbooks, " focusing on critical writing about the state of graphic design. Anyone interested in contemporary design will want to put a copy of Emigre in their pocket.

On the outskirts of civilization, where suburban man stumbles over nature, an untold drama is taking place. A relentless effort by present day frontiersmen to tame and overcome the inhospitable California desert. Rudy VanderLans takes us to the heart of this spectacle, where suburban elements meet vacuous space, where dubious claims of commerce stand fragile against a harsh light, where contemporary dwellers impose incongruous notions of luxury on a magnificent wilderness landscape. Supermarket captures the folly and the beauty of this colorful drama in all its ambiguity, with astounding photographic spreads that come at us like film, taken at slightly different angles, juxtaposed or duplicated in singularly bold symmetry. The iteration of the images so leveraged simulates a spatiality that transcends the ordinary two-dimensional page. Supermarket is a disturbingly beautiful book that takes us on a poetic journey through VanderLans' California, documenting our sometimes successful, sometimes futile attempt to transform an unfriendly environment into a bearable, happy land. Rudy VanderLans, co-founder and editor of 'Emigre' magazine, brings us inside this desert environment in small steps, taking us along the California coast heading south and then east through the built environment, setting the scene for our final destination.

In 1984 a radically new graphic design magazine set out to explore the as-yet-untapped and uncharted possibilities of Macintosh-generated graphic design.

Are Emigre's Mac-generated graphics important, influential and controversial…or just plain ugly? You decide.
