In week 7, we discussed the difference between modern and postmodern. Paula Scher is one of my favourite designers in this topic. She is an American graphic designer, painter and art educator. Also, she joined the Pentagram in 1991 and became the first female principal. She studied at the Tyler School of Art in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania. She was born in Washington then moved to New York City for her layout artist for Random House;s children’s book division job.
The map is one of my favourite. I can’t believe how well she organized those colourful, different size and the streamline of types together. She is really good at playing types in different angles.
Lots of her art works included types and she always join the types with two lines together which make the types pop out.
I like the way she combine the types and images together so well.
