Prestel Otl Aicher: Design. Type. Thinking Book

Celebrate a century of design excellence with this comprehensive book on Otl Aicher. Published by Prestel, this volume marks the centenary of the birth of a man who was much more than a graphic designer. Aicher was a transformative thinker, photographer, typographer, and ecologist who left a permanent mark on the world of visual communication. This book explores his diverse career, from his work as a teacher and philosopher to his role as a co-founder and mentor at the Hochschule fuer Gestaltung at Ulm. Readers can trace the many strands of his influence through high-quality production and design. A highlight of his legacy is the iconic system of pictographs created for the 1972 Munich Summer Olympic Games. Fifty years later, these designs have evolved into a universal language used to direct people globally. This book provides a deep look at how his work continues to shape how we see and navigate the world today.
