Swiss Graphic Design Histories | Sarah Owens et al. (eds.) [E-Book PDF]
Swiss Graphic Design Histories offers an entirely new redefinition of Switzerland’s graphic design landscape. Based on extensive research by scholars of design history and with a multiple and inclusive approach, it reaches beyond the usual canon and the well-known epicenters Basel and Zurich with the Germanophone fathers of what has become famous as the Swiss Style in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.
Edited by Davide Fornari, Robert Lzicar, Sarah Owens, Michael Renner, Arne Scheuermann and Peter J. Schneemann.
In three volumes it features visual artefacts and archival documents, the majority published here for the first time, alongside likewise previously unpublished conversations with designers who have forged developments of the past decades, as well as new essays discussing key terms that refer to various design practices. The complexity of the undertaking is embraced through a system of keywords, thus enabling readers to connect contents within the individual volumes. A fourth volume comprising a glossary, bibliography, and an index of the keywords rounds out this long-awaited new survey of graphic design in multi-lingual Switzerland that sheds new light at networks, practices and media largely ignored so far.
With contributions by Chiara Barbieri, Rudolf Barmettler, Jonas Berthod, Sandra Bischler, Constance Delamadeleine, Davide Fornari, Roland Früh, Ueli Kaufmann, Sarah Klein, Robert Lzicar, Jonas Niedermann, Sarah Owens, Michael Renner, Peter J. Schneemann, Arne Scheuermann, and Sara Zeller

Ernst Keller (1891-1968). Lehrer und Pionier des Swiss Style
Verschiedentlich und insbesondere in den USA, wird in der Geschichtsschreibung des Graphic Design auf Ernst Keller als Vater des sogenannten Swiss Style, später International Typographic Style, hingewiesen. Diese Tatsache gründet auf der grossen Anzahl von Keller-Schülern, die später diesen Swiss Style geprägt und berühmt gemacht haben. Die Leistung von Keller wird einzig durch sein Oeuvre, vor allem seine Plakatgestaltung oder seine Beschäftigung im Zusammenhang mit Schrift- und Grafik in der Architektur, gewürdigt.
Fundamental jedoch ist Ernst Kellers Beitrag zur Entwicklung von innovativen, nicht akademischen didaktischen Prinzipien in der Gestaltungsausbildung. Seine Lehrtätigkeit ab 1918 kann als eines der weltweit ersten systematischen Ausbildungsprogramme für Graphic Design definiert werden.

Ein Zeitgeist-Glossar von Achtsamkeit bis Zigarette
Moral Phobia ist unnatürlich, unbekümmert und undiszipliniert. Es raucht und trinkt, isst Fleisch, treibt kaum Sport und war gestern Nacht wieder der letzte Gast. Moral Phobia vernachlässigt soziale Netzwerke und Selbstoptimierungsangebote und plädiert für das Alberne und Abseitige, Faule und Fremde, Undurchsichtige, Unbequeme, Überflüssige und Verstörende – in der Hoffnung auf weniger aufgeräumte, vielfältigere Zeiten.

Narrative Mechanics. Strategies and Meanings in Games and Real Life | Beat Suter, René Bauer, Mela Kocher (eds.) [E-Book PDF]
What do stories in games have in common with political narratives?
This book identifies narrative strategies as mechanisms for meaning and manipulation in games and real life. It shows that the narrative mechanics so clearly identifiable in games are increasingly used (and abused) in politics and social life. They have »many faces«, displays and interfaces. They occur as texts, recipes, stories, dramas in three acts, movies, videos, tweets, journeys of heroes, but also as rewarding stories in games and as narratives in society – such as a career from rags to riches, the concept of modernity or market economy. Below their surface, however, narrative mechanics are a particular type of motivational design – of game mechanics.
