Emigre No. 70 — The Look Back Issue: Celebrating 25 Years in Graphic Design

Emigre magazine, based in Berkeley, published 69 issues in a variety of formats. During its run over the last 25 years, they featured in-depth interviews with fellow design trailblazers and critical essays by an emerging group of young design writers.

This book, designed and edited by Emigre co-founder and designer Rudy VanderLans, is a selection of reprints, using original digital files, tracing Emigre’s development from its early bitmap design days in the late 1980s to the experimental layouts that defined the so-called “Legibility Wars” of the late 1990s, to the critical design writing of the early 2000s.

Emigre No.70 is a must-have book for those who missed out on all the excitement the first time around and for those who have been long time Emigre fans alike. No graphic design library would be complete without it.

The book also includes the following bonus material:
32-page booklet of Letters to the Editor
CD-Rom with music and videos published by Emigre
15 x 20 inch commemorative poster

2009; hardcover; 512 pages; 8.5 x 11"
