the book
Postcard is the very first major publication conceived, compiled,
written and designed by Agathe Jacquillat and Tomi Vollauschek at
FL@33.
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.
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. See
