Worldwide Identity book launches globally
Worldwide Identity: Inspired Design from Forty Countries is a new book published by Rockport in partnership with the International Council of Graphic Design Associations (Icograda). It showcases identity projects from around the globe, and is now available worldwide. As stated in Rockport Publishers' news release, ''Worldwide Identity offers inspiration from 40 countries and showcases more than 300 identities from around the globe - from branding the City of Sydney in Australia, to private-label Hong Kong tea, to Brazilian supermarkets, to Levi's in Singapore, to Danish crown corporation heraldry, and wine in South Africa. Worldwide Identity, compiled in collaboration with Icograda, explains the process of identity design by defining both the 'Brief' and the 'Solution.' This clear and concise manner assists us in seeing how innovative, distinctive, and appropriate identities arise from designers' thorough understanding of mandate and cultural context.''

Emigre, An Ending
Rick Poynor, United Kingdom
“So it's over. One of the great - as in all-time great - design publications has come to a close. Issue 69 of Emigre will be the last. Emigre the type foundry will live on, but founder, editor and designer Rudy VanderLans has commissioned his last article, conducted and transcribed his last interview, and composed his final message to his readers.”

30% Media – by providing content through mass media channels
