A LIFE IN PRINT

supposed death of print—this library presents the vital world of

The project had been rattling around in my head for years. Starting at Westside Print Works in the late eighties working with Kim Baer, Joe Molloy, and other great designers, I often saw pieces tossed into the sample drawer and felt a sense of wonder at the collection gathered. These samples sat in my closet until 1999 when I came to Typecraft, where I have seen an explosion of incredible art by talented designers.
set of specifications, samples, and experiences serves a higher collective purpose while creating a resource for designers and design students shaping the future of communications media. Some of my favorite work for the AIGA-LA Board has been advocating for scholarships. Student work is vital and essential.

technical knowledge. In fact, graphic design as a professional practice didn’t exist before the industrial revolution. While the soft “artistry” of graphic design may see itself as far afield from the hard domain of machines, it is those machines that are our dance partners.
An especially complicated duet was choreographed between Juliette Bellocq and Typecraft’s Joe Nuñez on a booklet for Otis College of Art and Design. The artwork uses a four-color process file, but substitutes fluorescent inks for the cyan, magenta, and yellow presenting a risky trapping challenge. Bellocq upped the

Stefan G. Bucher pushed it to the brink for a Lynda.com project, performing more of a pas de trois—with the binder joining the waltz to work out such complexities as a slip-case comprised of a heavy textured fabric, a moiré patterned book cover, and floppy, rabbit-eared pages that had to be hand-tied.
Oh, those designers! It was in 1986 that Mayes began encouraging printer-designer partnerships. It’s hard to imagine that designers and printers weren’t always made-for-each-other combinations like peanut butter and jelly or hearts and flowers, but finding printers who were whole-heartedly compassionate—or even mildly sympathetic toward designers—was not easy; much less finding printers who saw themselves as co-conspirators in creative productions. Not that it’s so different today. Recently, the young designer Jessica Hische saw the need to “speeddate” designers with those printers willing to collaborate. Her efforts resulted in Inker Linker, a website that identifies creative relationships for those designers not fortunate enough to have a Typecraft in the neighborhood.

Acknowledgements My wife Janet Orlandini-Mayes has listened to my babblings about this project for the longest and always been supportive and constructive with her thoughts. All that I do with my work is supported and made possible by her love. Haven Lin-Kirk believed in this, without her trust this would not have happened. For Haven to give her credence to this has taken the Library from an idea to a reality. I am immensely grateful to her for her support. Steve Child and all of the students in the class have dedicated their time and thought to this collection and their efforts are clearly worth it, thank you! Louise Sandhaus has been supportive and enthusiastic about the Library and been generous in considering what the importance of the gathering might be, thank you for your insightful, wistful words on the endeavor. Joe Nu単ez has given me many suggestions over the last few years as this has percolated. Joe has had to listen to hundreds of my hare-brained ideas and been quick to shoot down the kookier ones. This has made the end result that much better, thank you! Stefan G. Bucher has been a tireless friend, client, mentor, muse... etc, to me. He inspires me to do great work and to be a better person. Amanda Davis has been an essential part of documenting the work for this catalogue. I am impressed with how well she has come to know the work and distilled the specifications into our database. Steven Rachwal has been a loyal confidant and sounding board for many years, I am lucky to have such a mensch. Harry Montgomery and JJ Gish, the owners of Typecraft Wood & Jones, have supported this idea with their enthusiasm and thoughtfulness, with out them it would not be possible. Harry, JJ and Typecraft have always been supportive of the student and design community and I am lucky to have such a great place to work.
Colophon The headline type is set in Lubalin Graph by Herb Lubalin. Lubalin Graph is a slab-serif version of ITC Avant Garde. The first version of the typeface only included 26 capital letters. This was done because the font was to be used for logos. He finished the complete version in 1970. This is when the font became very popular. The secondary typeface is Avenir designed by Adrian Frutiger. Avenir is French for “future,” and takes inspiration from early geometric sans-serif typefaces Erbar (1922) designed by Jakob Erbar, and Futura (1927) designed by Paul Renner. Frutiger intended Avenir to be a more organic, humanist interpretation of these highly geometric typefaces.
