Presenting graphic design has become almost as big an industry as the design itself, and each year brings a cavalcade of new monographs purporting to collate the very best collection of posters, print and environmental design.
Altitude focuses on the Swiss scene, chronicling the country's ongoing reputation for high quality print, as well as the smaller, more home-grown works that are blurring the lines between fine art practice and conventional graphic design. Of course, in this industry presentation is everything, and this is a handsome volume that transcends the traditionally dry image book.
