Guide déraisonné des collections du Musée de l’imprimerie et de la communication graphique
The “unreasoned” catalogue of the Musée de l’imprimerie et de la communication graphique (Museum of Printing and Graphic Communication – Lyon, France) presents the testimonies of fifty authors – printers, graphic designers, curators, bibliophiles, booksellers and researchers – who talk about their attachment to a document from the collections.
Richly illustrated, the book traces the evolution of the graphic world. In fifty years, the lead techniques inherited from Gutenberg have been overturned and replaced by photography, electronics, and computers. Today, the modes of production, distribution, and consumption of graphic products are profoundly transformed by the advent of the virtual document and digital networks and media.
To design the Guide déraisonné (published by Éditions 205), Bureau 205 used the typefaces Alcalá by Damien Gautier (205TF) and F Grotesk by Radim Peško.
