Emigre Design
Articles by or about Emigre, an experimental type foundry in Berkeley, CA.
Emigre has had an unprecedented theoretical and real-world effect on the look of ...
Visions of bold-italic-outline-shadow Helvetica 'Mac' tricks have sent many graphic designers running back to their T-squares and rubber cement
Some designers have found computers a creative salvation from the boredom of familiar methodologies, while others have utilized this new technology to expedite traditional production processes
For this eleventh issue of Emigre we interviewed fifteen graphic designers from around the world, and talked about how they work their way through the sometimes frustrating task of integrating this new technology into their daily practices
For instance, a type designer is no longer required to be a creative mind as well as a skilled punch cutter
Designers can control all aspects of production and design, no longer requiring an outside typesetter or color separator
It is now possible for one individual to take on all functions required in publishing, including writer, editor, designer, and illustrator, thus bringing together a variety of disciplines and consequently streamlining production
In fact, computer technology has advanced the state of graphic art by such a quantum leap into the future that it has brought the designer back to the most primitive of graphic ideas and methods

Biographical information and illustrated catalogue of works exhibited at The
Grolier Club in New York.
13 December 2000 - 10 February 2001 Curated by Jerry Kelly Perhaps no one in the twentieth-century has had more of an influence in the fields of type design, calligraphy, and typography than the noted German designer Hermann Zapf
Other fonts, such as Michelangelo, Zapf International, and Zapf Renaissance - among numerous others - are the mainstay of many of the finest graphic designers of today
Throughout the 1960s and 1970s Zapf was mainly a free-lance designer, with important work being done for International Typeface Corporation, URW, Hell-Digiset; Hallmark Cards; and numerous other major clients
Since 1972 he has lived in Darmstadt, Germany with his wife, Gudrun Zapf-von Hesse, herself a noted type designer and calligrapher
Along with highlights from throughout Zapf's career as a type designer, calligrapher, and typographer, the Grolier Club exhibition will display some exceptionally rare examples of Zapf's oeuvre, many of which have rarely or never been displayed before
