Description:
A book about graphic design is a delicate thing that pits its own presence against its (graphic) content. 365: AIGA Year in Design 21 is no exception. Beginning with a tribute to 2000 AIGA medal recipients P. Scott and Laurie Haycock Makela and other awards, it devotes a large section to selected work in communication graphics and finishes with "50 books, 50 covers." 365 has more weight and seriousness than one would normally expect, feeling less like a yearly journal than a comprehensive art catalog, partly due to its own design. Because the text is so small as to be illegible, and the design is based on a puzzling scheme of full pages, smaller postage-stamp-sized filled boxes, and a cryptic notation system, the material is so controlled that the physicality of the work is lost and the information is hard to read. The work itself is great, and worth the effort, but the book requires patience. --Juliette Cezzar
