Eclectic Unity
Discovering the new generation of Israeli graphic designers
by Oded Ezer

Open positions: Visiting Faculty in Design History

School of Design, Carnegie Mellon University
2007-2008, nine month position

We seek a talented art, design, or cultural historian to teach an introductory course in the history of graphic and industrial design in the Fall 2007 semester. We approach design history from an interdisciplinary perspective, incorporating aspects of art history, material culture, history of technology, and cultural history. The course typically follows a lecture/discussion format. Students read a variety of primary and secondary texts, write several short response papers, and take a final exam. This is a required course for all undergraduate design majors and minors and is taken during the sophomore year. The course is also required of graduate students studying for a masters of product development (MPD). Typical course size is 50-60 students.

Candidates should have an MA in art history, design history, decorative arts, or a related historical discipline. Teaching experience is a plus but not required. This individual will join us as a Visiting Faculty in the School of Design. Salary will be commensurate with experience. Please send a statement of interest with a current CV and a list of three references to:

visual:design:scholarship Special Issue Call for Papers, 2007

Topic: Graduate Education and the Design Industries
Guest Editor: Dr Laurene Vaughan, School of Applied Communication, RMIT University
Once upon a time we learnt on the job, through situated practice, then came diplomas, certificates and then degrees and higher degrees. Design education is an ever evolving beast that through every stage of development has brought with it concerns about the separation between the theory, the practice and the every day application of knowledge.

This Special Issue of visual:design:scholarship : Research Journal of the Australian Graphic Design Association, invites your contribution to the exploration and evaluation of the potential relationships between graduate design education, design research and the design professions.

New Linotype Mergenthaler Edition by Zapf: a true man of letters

Professor Hermann Zapf is one of the most important and prolific typeface designers of the 20th and 21st centuries. In his recently released monograph – Alphabet Stories A Chronicle of Technical Developments – Zapf describes with plain-spoken eloquence how he came to be a pioneer in exploring the graphic frontiers of the Computer Age. This beautifully illustrated new publication by Mergenthaler Edition from Linotype GmbH, Bad Homburg, tells the deceptively simple tale of how, in the course of his own artistic development, Zapf provided a much-needed link between his craft and the technical advances of the day. Hermann Zapf has illustrated and designed countless books and over 200 typefaces, including the Palatino™ and Optima™ families, and his typefaces have given a distinct shape to how our world communicates. This book is the story of his life’s work, and the story of modern typography itself.
