Samenvatting:

Following on from their first publication, the acclaimed "Benzin, Young Swiss Graphic Design", Swiss editors and designers Michel Fries and Thomas Bruggisser have now approached 12 single-minded European designers with a very tempting offer: complete artistic freedom to create and design an entire chapter in “Super – Welcome to the Graphic Wonderland”, a welcome carte blanche to explore the weird and wonderful recesses of their own minds.

United in this vision the participants (a.o. Goldenmasters, Lia/Rev, Matthias Schweitzer, Reala) display surprising, hidden talents – even Norm reveal a decidedly playful side.
From concept art (a pre-tourism embassy round-up by Abake), via an exquisitely illustrated list of alternative Top Tens (Reala) to photographs of a well-thumbed notebook (roughly edited by covering painfully intimate passages with hands), every project tells its own story.

Featuring a sharp selection of intensely personal, peripheral, expansive and edgy projects between illustration and graphic design, Super’s 336 pages race through styles, paper types and techniques like there’s no tomorrow.
