An joyously geeky look at typography and design in sci-fi
Klappentext:
In Typeset in the Future , blogger and designer Dave Addey invites sci-fi movie fans on a journey through seven genre-defining classics, discovering how they create compelling visions of the future through typography and design. The book delves deep into 2001: A Space Odyssey , Star Trek: The Motion Picture , Alien , Blade Runner , Total Recall , WALL - E , and Moon , studying the design tricks and inspirations that make each film transcend mere celluloid and become a believable reality. These studies are illustrated by film stills, concept art, type specimens, and ephemera, plus original interviews with Mike Okuda ( Star Trek ), Paul Verhoeven ( Total Recall ), and Ralph Eggleston and Craig Foster (Pixar). Typeset in the Future is an obsessively geeky study of how classic sci-fi movies draw us in to their imagined worlds - and how they have come to represent "THE FUTURE" in popular culture.
Rezension:
"To say that this is a brilliant book is an understatement. Dave Addey has succeeded in making an under-estimated topic as fonts a really interesting subject." SFcrowsnest
