Product Description

London-based Graphic Thought Facility (GTF) has emerged as one of today's most progressive and versatile design firms. Established in 1990, it has a reputation for a nonconformist approach to graphic design. With a handmade aesthetic coupled with a knowledge of digital technology and an interest in new materials and production methods, the firm's output is inventive.This handsomely designed and produced catalogue includes photographs and essays that highlight GTF's most notable projects and commissions, which range from graphic identity to marketing materials to exhibition and catalogue design. Whether providing innovative design materials for London's Institute of Contemporary Arts, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, the Tate Museum, the furniture and interior design store Habitat, or designers such as Ron Arad and Tord Boontje, GTF encourages us to appreciate the visual richness of the world around us.

small 7 Aug 2009

By M. Schneider - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

The book was physically small without much explanatory copy for each project or any elaboration from the studio. The photos were nearly the same as on GTF's website. Nothing new. All in all not a great find for such an accomplished studio. Book design itself was kind of boring too.
