His first experiments with axonometric lettering appeared on magazine covers, posters, and record sleeves - taking influence from the avant garde typography of the 1920s but rendered afresh as bold sculptural letterforms. Timeless, arresting, and technically dazzling, Igarashi's signature style demonstrates a mastery of three-dimensional type and perspective draftsmanship, refined long before the introduction of computers into the design industry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A to Z offers an exhaustive guide to Igarashi's experiments with typography, featuring not only his celebrated print and physical works - many photographed specially for this publication - but also a first look, using never before seen archival work, at the plans, drawings and production drafts behind his iconic works. Spanning early print works, hand-drawn experiments, self-initiated sculptural pieces, and highprofile 3D identities for a range of international clients and institutions, A to Z is a long overdue overview of one of the most revered but least celebrated graphic designers of the 20th century.","brand":"RANDOM HOUSE","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":43027209355353,"sku":"PR913282","price":152.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2551\/5502\/files\/image_TIBF94E0COGB.jpg?v=1769720739","url":"https:\/\/smartfox.co.nz\/products\/takenobu-igarashi-a-to-z","provider":"SmartfoxNZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
