Long hand, Sue Tompkins

The book can be seen as a script for a performance, in which the reader becomes the performer of Sue Tompkin’s words assisted by the size and weight of the book and page, the movement of turning the pages, the position of the text on the page, the thickness of her pen stroke and the size and speed of her writing.

Formen Lesen – Ein Plädoyer für bewusste Gestaltung – Paulus M. Dreibholz – Gaffa Editions

Formen Lesen – Ein Plädoyer für bewusste Gestaltung engages with elemental questions of design and typography. In short articles it touches the subjects of reading and understanding our environment, natural or cultural. It talks about the responsibility of the designer and assesses the speed of the design process.

Formen Lesen is a personal account of the activity of designing the things that surround us, mainly printed matters, but allows conceptual and practical insight into how this complex subject can be approached and offers opinions and arguments for further personal investigation.
