Julklappstips: Mastodontbok om flygbolagens gyllene era 1945-1975

[Morgan]

Ett tips för den som är intresserad av design och flygbolagens reklam är Mastodontboken Airline Visual Identity 1945-1975. Den kostar ett par tusen, men i november släpps en "ekonomiklass"-variant (dock med mer vanligt tryck än konsttryck som den här upplagan har).

Blir själv väldigt sugen när jag läser recensionerna:

"This book is an insight and education beyond measure. Matthias C. Hühne can only be an inspiring author since he is an art connoisseur as well as professional developer—both characteristics requiring deep knowledge combined with expansive as well as interpretive thinking. Airline Visual Identity: 1945-1975 shows his talent and dedication to an unsung but fundamental force in the airline industry—branding identity. (...)

His thorough research yields an impressive book not only in size (~12” x ~18”) and heft (~14 pounds) but in detail and unbiased coverage. There is no reaching only for the low fruit here. Airline Visual Identity: 1945-1975 may first appear as if it is firmly in the coffee table section of the local bookstore, and it would enhance anyone's coffee table considering its production values, but it also fits equally well in the same caliber as the Oxford English Dictionary with its unbiased presentation as well as interpretation of this important era of airline development as well as advertising paradigm shift."
