Pierre Bernard (editor: Jianping He)
The book is a comprehensive collection of works – mostly posters by a French graphic designer Pierre Bernard, accompanied by several insightful interviews that tell about the artist’s vision.
His poster designs are playful and fun. He incorporates lots of hand-drawn imagery and handwritings that give vigorous energy to the design. They are vividly colored and the compositions are often very bold and outside of the box. These highly dense design elements are then arranged in a clear order, which helps the viewer with what to focus on. All of the materials are carefully organized to deliver precise information.
One of the nice things about this book is that underneath each poster, is caption that tells you when it was created, who the client was, and also the context in which the poster was made. It gives you a better understanding of the design and how some of the decisions were made.
The artist’s small studio, the Atelier de Création Graphique, is responsible for the visual identities of the Louvre Museum and the French national parks and many others. Their latest project was the creation and art direction of the visual communication of the Pompidou Centre, which utilizes clear typography arranged in a very interesting way.
