Hi All,

I've uploaded 28 items to the archive since the last post, including 80s, 90s, and 00s selections from one of my favorite graphic design magazines of all time, HOW Magazine. In total, there's now about ~560 books & magazine issues currently in the archive! If you have any issues accessing the archive, which is on Google Drive, please let me know and I'll be able to help!

Highlights:

DigitalVision: Fusion (1999) - An incredibly diverse collection of custom stock illustrations & graphics, spanning a ton of different styles we study, including some we haven't researched or categorized before. There's some very exuberant Y2K/Cyber Corporate works, including some 'inspired' by The Designers Republic, all the way to more Renaissance Revival/Zen-X earthy collages.

Sanctuary by Cher, Fall 1995 catalog (1995) - Before this month, never knew that Cher had a short-lived home furnishings & clothing catalog! An absolutely wonderful (and quite expensive) collection of mainly Renaissance Revival and Whimsigothic design, in an overall excellent presentation.

Hot California Graphics (2002) & California: Graphic Design (1997) - Two books with an extensive overview of graphic design in California in the late 1990s & early 2000s, organized by individual firms. Includes examples in a variety of fields, from package design, motion design, to environmental design.

DSOS1: Designer Shock Operating System (2001) - Collection of works by the firm Designershock; mainly in the very techy, flat, and clean Vectorheart style.

How Magazine: issues from 1988, 1989, 1999, 2001, and 2002 - Now-defunct, but once very influential graphic design magazine founded in 1985. Specializes in features that give an overview of the full design process from start to finish, in a variety of graphic design applications. Great time capsule of popular design trends, brands, and firms; including some images of their office interiors at the time!

Thank you again for your continued support!
