Description

Pentagram Book Five is intended to be a valuable resource for designers, illustrators, artists, photographers, and image-makers as well as anyone inspired by a Pentagram design. It presents a body of work produced in the last five years in the firm of fifty case histories, each with an overview stating the project’s objective, an analysis of the design process, the rationale for the design recommendations, and the “moral of the story”—anecdotal narratives told from the point of view of the designers and clients.
