As the newest addition to Birdsong Gregory, I felt it appropriate to start off my blog by sharing one of my more recent and most interesting resources for graphic design from my design library. Naive: Modernism and Folklore in Contemporary Graphic Design, a recent release from Gestalten, is full of strong design and beautiful illustration. It explores the "extraordinary renaissance of Classic Modernism, from the 1940s to 1960s in contemporary graphic design" by compiling and showcasing recent work from designers who are working in this style. I give the book the official design nerd stamp of approval and I continue to be captivated by the work it contains. We at Birdsong Gregory are always keeping our eyes open for inspirational gems like this one, so be sure to stay tuned for other recommendations.
