All Access: The Making of Thirty Extraordinary Graphic Designers
Editorial Reviews Book Description All Access juxtaposes an edited selection of greatest hits from the masters of design with their pre-fame work. Author Stefan Bucher illustrates their visual history---the first pieces that made them stars, their transitional work, and the eventual breakthrough pieces that caused their names to be known around the world. Insightful text exploring mentors, education, and eureka moments complements this visual timeline. Bucher also profiles 15 of the most exciting upcoming design stars from around the globe. As with the masters, Bucher explores their roads to early success and highlights the work that is lifting these young designers into the spotlight.
To be inspired, we need to see the awkward early days, which illustrate that there is hope for everyone. Heroes do not spring forth fully formed; they take the same challenging road we all take; it's their decisions that set them apart. This book is an inspiration for any designer setting out on the path to greatness, as well as a fun read for those well into their careers.
