spreads
Postcard is the very first major publication conceived, compiled,
written and designed by Agathe Jacquillat and Tomi Vollauschek at
FL@33.
content
Postcard will be released in September 2008 in the UK by Laurence
King Publishing (in English) and by Chronicle Books in the USA (also
in English). Several foreign language editions will also be released
by their international partner publishers including a French edition
by Pyramyd Editions entitled 'Cartes Postales', a Spanish edition
by Gustavo Gili entitled 'Postales – Diseño por correo'
and a German edition who kept the original 'Postcard' title by DuMont
– Literatur und Kunstverlag.
It's the only book to document recent postcard design, this will appeal
to anyone interested in art, design and graphics and taps into the
trend for postcards – popular in art, advertising and as limited
editions for collectors. The book features on 224 pages over 800 hand-picked
postcards and postcard-related projects by over 130 artists, illustrators,
photographers, designers, studios and collectives from all around
the world, with emerging talents sitting alongside established artists.
Features handmade artworks, limited edition sets and books, commercial
promo cards, high-tech postcards and interactive online projects that
successfully link the virtual with the physical world.
packaging
The book will come in an
exciting packaging we developed back in February 2007.
Its die-cut cover will reveal details from the 20 commissioned postcards
contained in pockets behind the cover. There will be over 380 different
versions of the front cover alone – due to the different possible
combinations of the 20 enclosed cards which will be added in random
order. The commissioned cards are by Daniel Eatock, Juju's Delivery,
Jeremyville, 123Klan, Geneviève Gauckler, Catalina Estrada,
Marion Deuchars, Hellovon, eBoy, Gregory Gilbert-Lodge, Supermundane,
Anthony Burrill, Tabas, Rinzen, Andrzej Klimowski, Yorgo Tloupas,
Mark Adams, Elisabeth Lecourt, Vaughan Oliver at v23 and FL@33. See
