In the late 1960s, IBM was one of the world's pre-eminent
corporations, employing over 250,000 people in 100 countries and
producing some of the most advanced products on earth. IBM
President Thomas J. Watson Jnr. sought to elevate the company's
image by hiring world-renowned design consultants, including Eliot
Noyes and Paul Rand. As well as developing the iconic IBM logo and
a corporate design guide, Rand also brought together a remarkable
team of internal staff designers. One of the designers he
hand-picked was Ken White, who, along with John Anderson and Tom
Bluhm, headed up the design team at the IBM Design Center in
Boulder, Colorado. Together, they initiated a poster program as a
platform for elevating internal communications and initiatives
within the company. These posters were displayed in hallways,
conferences rooms and cafeterias throughout IBM campuses, with
subject matter including everything from encouraging equal
opportunity policies to reminders on best security practices to
promoting a family fun day. Designers often incorporated figurative
typography, dry humor, visual puns, and photography to craft
memorable and compelling messages. Many of the posters won Type
Directors Club awards and a large number were 're-appropriated'
from walls by enthusiastic IBM employees. While Paul Rand's
creative genius has been well documented, the work of the IBM staff
designers who executed his intent outlined in the IBM Design Guide
has often gone unnoticed. The poster designs by White, Anderson,
and Bluhm included in this book represent some of the most creative
examples of mid-century corporate graphic design, while offering a
unique commentary into corporate employee communications of the
period. They also embody the full extent to which Thomas J. Watson
Jr.'s mantra, "Good Design is Good Business" permeated every facet
of the IBM organization, and created a lasting influence on curated
corporate design in America.

Over the years the motion picture industry has (sadly) gravitated
to generating poorly cropped and heavily airbrushed posters that
rely far too often on celebrity head shots. Thankfully, an
underground network of graphic designers and artists has
reinvigorated the art of the movie poster, crafting stunning pieces
for classic and cult films. Here is the first comprehensive look at
the movement, presenting this eclectic and dynamic medium through
more than 200 eye-popping posters from over 100 cutting-edge
artists, coupled with fascinating commentary and behind-the-scenes
information. These new, underground posters have quickly become the
most coveted by ardent moviegoers; they are typically produced in
very limited runs, sell out within minutes, and command upwards of
several hundred dollars each. With a smart, fresh visual
perspective, alternative movie posters celebrate classics like Star
Wars, A Clockwork Orange, and The Shining as well as cult
favorites: The Big Lebowski, Blade Runner, and Pink Flamingos.

several books, the most recent of which is American Modernism:

posters, spanning the years from 1982 to the present, show how
social, religious, civic, and public health agencies have addressed
the controversial, often contested terrain of the HIV/AIDS pandemic

A Modern Master Robert E. McGinnis began his career in 1947 as a
cartoonist, and produced his first cover illustrations for 1956
issues of the magazines True Detective and Master Detective. Then
in 1958, he painted his first paperback book cover, and from that
day forward his work was in demand. The emergence of the "McGinnis
Woman" - long-legged, intelligent, alluring, and enigmatic -
established him as the go-to artist for detective novels. His work
appeared on Mike Shayne titles and the Perry Mason series, and he
produced 100 paintings for the Carter Brown adventures. Yet
McGinnis became famous for his work in other genres as well:
espionage, romance, historicals, gothics, and Westerns. McGinnis's
first major magazine assignments were for The Saturday Evening
Post, and his work has graced the pages of Cosmopolitan, National
Geographic, Good Housekeeping, Guideposts, and others. McGinnis
women frequently cropped up in the men's magazines of the '60s and
'70s. His first movie poster was for Breakfast at Tiffany's, with
an iconic rendering of Audrey Hepburn. Almost instantly, his poster
artwork could be seen everywhere - in theaters, on billboards, in
newspapers, and even on soundtrack albums. His work for Hollywood
became a who's-who, with posters for James Bond, The Odd Couple,
Woody Allen, The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, and many more.
Some of his most ambitious works have been his gallery paintings,
often depicting stunning American landscapes, vast Western vistas,
and of course, beautiful women. The Art of Robert E. McGinnis
collection reveals the full scope and beauty of the work of a true
American master - one whose legacy continues today.
This large-format book of Soviet propaganda posters allows the
reader to remove individual posters and is at once a revealing
historical document and a sublime example of graphic art at its
best. Dating from 1917 to the end of the Cold War, the posters in
this book feature the work of groundbreaking Russian artists such
as El Lissitzky and Alexander Rodchenko, alongside extraordinary
works by their contemporaries. Presented in full color, printed on
heavy paper, and in a large-format, the posters gathered here
represent the pinnacle of Russian avant-garde design from the 20th
century. They range in theme from the dangers of alcohol abuse and
the creeping Nazi menace, to illustrations of utopian harmony and
the Soviet industrial machine. A special feature of this book
allows for the removal of the posters, which have been designed to
fit standard frame sizes. A brief introduction offers a
chronological overview of the period that produced such eloquent
art, which has long been a major source of inspiration to artists
and designers.
As the 1950s dawned, a new level of sexual openness developed in
behavior and dress. In magazines and on beaches, women appeared in
revealing two-piece bathing suits called bikinis. Bunny Yeager,
model and commercial photographer, forged a unique role in 1952,
photographing bikinis and the beautiful women who wore them. This
collection of Bunny's work from the 1950s features 169 original
photographs and featuring little known models and women she helped
launch to fame, such as Betty Page. The bikinis they wore were
often of Bunny's own creation, sewn with her own hands. She says,
"My ability helped me sell photographs to men's magazines and
compete with male photographers. They didn't know how to sew!" Many
of her original designs still influence styles today. This
collection of photographs, along with Bunny's reflections on her
life and career, the models, and the era, make an insightful
addition to the literature on this photographic pioneer.
