資料の内容に関する注記In the mid-1970s, designer Takenobu Igarashi began a decade-long exploration into possibilities of three-dimensional typography. His first experiments with axonometric lettering appeared on magazine covers, posters, and record sleeves - taking influence from the avant garde typography of the 1920s but rendered as sculptural letterforms. Igarashi's style demonstrates three-dimensional type and perspective refined before the introduction of computers into the design industry. 'A to Z' offers a guide to Igarashi's experiments with typography, featuring not only his print and physical works - many photographed specially for this publication - but also a first look, using never before seen archival work, at the plans, drawings and production drafts behind his works. Spanning early print works, hand-drawn experiments, self-initiated sculptural pieces, and high-profile 3D identities for a range of international clients and institutions, A to Z is an overview of one of the most revered but least celebrated graphic designers of the 20th century
