Paula Scher plunged into the New York design world in the early 1970s, a moment when progressive art directors, illustrators, and graphic designers, as well as architects and product designers, were drawing energy and ideas from the parking lots of Las Vegas, the Factory of Andy Warhol, the creative boutiques of Madison Avenue, and the tragi-comedy of the Nixon Administration. This was the nadir of the Pop movement, a period when American design, music, fashion, and fast-food had become a global vocabulary—more profoundly international than the International Style. From New York to London to Tokyo to LA, Helvetica was outpaced by the lascivious swashes of Herb Lubalins lettering and the exuberant curves, serifs, in-lines, and outlines of a veritable harem of decorative typefaces revived from the dustbins of an ornamental past. It was in this culture that Paula Scher came of age. She majored in illustration at the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, finishing her BFA in 1970. As a student, Scher avoided graphic design because she lacked the necessary neatness skills and didnt like arranging Helvetica on a grid. She didnt draw well either (a modest liability for an illustrator), but she discovered what she could do: come up with concepts and illustrate them with type. In 1972, Scher jumped into the belly of popular culture; as art director for CBS Records in New York City, she designed approximately 150 album covers a year, and produced innumerable ads and posters.

(Continued from part 1) Scher left CBS Records in 1982. She formed the studio Koppel & Scher with Terry Koppel in 1984, where she embraced the pressures of working on her own. The experience taught her the challenge of keeping her own clients and "paying [her] own phone bill, a situation distant from that of a corporation like CBS. In 1991, Scher became a partner in the New York office of Pentagram. This unique business environment makes each partner responsible for maintaining his or her own clients and design teams while sharing accounting services, overhead, and profits with the other partners. The sole woman among 15 partners, Scher describes herself as "the only girl on the football team. That doesnt make her a cheerleader or a trophy date, but an equal player in a pack of heavy-hitters. The Pentagram environment continually forces her to hold her own and stay on top, both creatively and economically. The move to Pentagram marked a major shift in Scher's career. This world-class, large-scale studio brought Scher a new level of visibility, and cultural and economic clout. She now had access to clients and projects that would not have ordinarily come to a smaller studio, especially not to one run by a woman. The years at Pentagram have allowed Scher to sharpen her typographic wit and her knack for conceptual solutions into a powerful approach to identity and branding. Whereas Scher's earlier work often centered around the creation of a neatly contained package for a <b>...</b>

www.pbs.org Type is everywhere. Every print publication, website, movie, advertisement and public message involves the creation or selection of a fitting typeface. Online, a rich and artistic typographical culture exists, where typefaces are created and graphic design seeps in to every image. In episode 2 of Off Book, typeface designers Jonathan Hoefler and Tobias Frere-Jones outline the importance of selecting the right font to convey a particular feeling. Graphic designer Paula Scher talks about building identity in messaging, while Eddie Opara uses texture to create reaction. Infographic designers Julia Vakser and Deroy Peraza map complicated data sets into digestible imagery, mixing color, graphics and type. www.pbs.org Artists: Jonathan Hoefler and Tobias Frere-Jones, Typeface Designers Paula Scher, Designer Eddie Opara, Designer Deroy Peraza and Julia Vakser, Designers Music by: VLOOPER: vlooper.bandcamp.com Anitek: www.myspace.com Reno Project: soundcloud.com Stidiek: www.myspace.com Hinariku216: soundcloud.com Follow Off Book: Twitter: @pbsoffbook Tumblr: pbsarts.tumblr.com Produced by Kornhaber Brown: www.kornhaberbrown.com

In the digital age graphic design is more important than ever because there is more communication, says Paula Scher. Paula Scher constantly absorbs information and makes associations out of experience. It is out of these associations that she often finds specific design solutions. Scher talks about designing for public spaces, referring specifically to a mural for the Queens Metropolitan Campus in New York.

This is a project for a Visual Communication class. We are studding designers, and the information we gather is then used to create a poster that emulates our chosen designer. The more I read or see of Paula Scher, the more passionate I feel towards typography in design. Thank you for all that you have done. And to all those who appreciate what you are doing. The piece that I am creating here, will not be the final project. This is only a means of understanding the process so that the idea is more clear.

Posters from the Thoughts on Democracy exhibition at The Wolfsonian-Florida International University in Miami Beach, FL. The Thoughts on Democracy exhibition is comprised of posters created by fifty-five leading contemporary artists and designers, invited by The Wolfsonian to create a new graphic design inspired by American illustrator Norman Rockwell's "Four Freedoms" posters of 1943, which were recently gifted to the museum by Leonard A. Lauder. Some of the participating artists involved in the project are Neville Brody, Seymour Chwast, Wim Crouwel, Elliott Earls, Richard Tuttle, Lawrence Weiner, Paula Scher, Francesco Vezzoli, Chip Kidd, and Italo Lupi, among others. Rockwell's images, reproduced by the US Office of War Information for mass dissemination, communicated FDR's vision of "a world founded upon four essential human freedoms"—Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Worship, Freedom from Want, and Freedom from Fear. The exhibition will be on view and free to the public in the museum's lobby.

Its impossible to cram a full films worth of people, ideas, and images into a 90-second trailer so think of this as a small taste: About the trailer: the voices belong to Jonathan Ive, Andrew Blauvelt, Marc Newson, and Karim Rashid. The song is I Like Van Halen Because My Sister Says They Are Cool by our friends El Ten Eleven, from their new record These Promises Are Being Videotaped [get it on iTunes]. And the font used in the trailer is Akzidenz Grotesk!

Film by and with thanks to Nate Pommer. Aubrey Powell his new book: For the Love of Vinyl: The Album Art of Hipgnosis. Hipgnosis was the biggest and best design firm for the biggest and best bands of the classic rock era. Formed by Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey Powell in 1968, Hipgnosis was a graphic design studio specializing in creative photography and working mainly in the music business designing album covers for many rock n roll bands including Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Genesis, 10cc, Yes, Peter Gabriel, Black Sabbath, Paul McCartney, Syd Barrett and Styx, among others. For a dozen years Hipgnosis created timeless rock iconography. For the Love of Vinyl is the first book to document their output in detail, focusing on over 60 package designs from cover to label written about in entertaining detail by the men who created them. Also included are short essays by musicians (such as Pink Floyds Nick Mason), artists (Peter Blake) and fellow designers (Paula Scher) on their favorite covers, as well as unseen photographs and ephemera. Complementing it all is a lengthy critical and historical text examining Hipgnosis and its legacy.

Excerpt of Joshua Davis speaking at OFFF 2011 Barcelona. "There are people who have complete visions in their minds and are content with crafting those visions, 100 percent in some artistic craft. I'm not that guy. Most of my days are filled with failure and being lost. It's this alone, that keeps me interested in my profession. I hope that at any moment, under a mountain of failure, The Unknown Voyage presents a path to some new discovery. I love the process, and I'll be spending my session walking though process with some latest projects I've been working on." OFFF keeps being a reference event throughout the world.
