Prix Fernand Baudin

De Fernand Baudin Prijs is een initiatief van een aantal leraren grafische vormgeving die actief zijn in de wereld van het boek. De eerste Brusselse edite wordt ondersteund door Brussel Export.

België en meer bepaald het Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest heeft een indrukwekkende traditie wat ‘het boek’ betreft. Deze Belgische know-how wordt te weinig gewaardeerd in vergelijking met, bijvoorbeeld, de manier waarop Nederland, Duitsland of Zwitserland hun boekproductie ondersteunen. Door de creatieve en innoverende krachten achter de boekproductie te steunen zal deze prijs een aanzet zijn om deze Belgische know-how meer bekendheid te geven op een internationaal niveau.

Bob Noorda Is Dead

Bob Noorda, an internationally known graphic designer who helped introduce a Modernist look to advertising posters, corporate logos and, in the 1960s, the entire New York City subway system, died on Jan. 11 in Milan, his adopted city. He was 82.

“Don’t bore the public with mysterious designs,” Mr. Noorda once said, and he put that dictum into practice. He was a master of spare, elegant and logical designs that caught the eye, from minimalist corporate logos for the Italian publishing house Feltrinelli and the ENI Group of Milan to impressionistic posters for Pirelli, the Italian tire maker.
