Non facturé is the term used by French photo labs for images not suitable for printing, because they are, for instance, over or under-exposed, not sharp, or taken by accident. However, even though these pictures were originated by accident or through error, they can have an unexpected, spontaneous quality - which might be impossible to achieve on purpose. This book and CD-ROM set contains more than 100 of such pictures, selected on their often mysterious beauty and graphic quality.

The first publication on the outstanding experimental typography designer Oded Ezer

Oded Ezer: The Typographer‘s Guide to the Galaxy presents the typographic experiments and experimental typography of visionary artist and designer Oded Ezer for the first time. A pioneer in the field, Ezer is one of the most influential designers today, who is reinventing the art of typography.

Based in Tel Aviv, Ezer has an almost scientific approach to type design in which he explores the anatomy of letters and alphabets. His Hebrew and Latin characters and alphabets are influenced by calligraphy and integrate elements that are not typical for font design, such as ornamental and organic shapes that resemble creatures. The book introduces his type art and hybrid typo creatures, including projects from his Biotypography series. Here, Ezer applies biological systems and organic beings to create and modify type into hybrid type insects and animals as well as cloned sperm creatures that are half sperm, half human with typographic information implanted in their DNA with Typosperma, the latter of which has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Further experiments such as his Tortured Letters series, Typoplastic Surgeries and Typo Mythologies are included.

In addition to these projects, this monograph also documents elegant and concise logo designs that Oded Ezer has created for international brands and institutions, as well as his collection of font designs. Oded Ezer also highlights the designer’s current work including a collection of photographs of his lab experiments in the studio, exhibition installations, sketches and illustrations along with detailed texts about each of his projects. With two forewords by Paola Antonelli, Curator of the Department of Architecture and Design at MoMA, New York and renowned designer, illustrator and typographer Marian Bantjes, this publication showcases a remarkable portfolio of work and offers a rare insight into Ezer’s design process.

Life’s ironies are easier to take in with a sugar coating. 

This coating entertains and acts as a remedy for the bitter truth while you die laughing. Brimming with cheerful colours, juxtaposed details and quirky characters, illustrations of dark humour weave together a twisted yet oddly familiar narrative we can all empathise with. 

Off the Wall amasses 30 some artists whose works are as somber as they are hilarious. Look at how satirical ideas play out in imagery to voice societal concerns, reflect on human nature or simply as a candid expression of the artist’s peculiar creative universe. 

Through short interviews and a carefully edited showcase, the book takes readers to explore artists’ enigmatic minds as they give insight into how they walk the fine line between being funny and unsettling.

Olbinski combines painting, illustration, graphic design, typography, and stage design into poignant and memorable images, revealing his exceptional ability to depict the world of performing arts and entertainment in his own unique form
