Game Mechanics for the «Magic Circle»
Why do we play games and why do we play them on computers? The contributors of «Games and Rules» take a closer look at the core of each game and the motivational system that is the game mechanics. Games are control circuits that organize the game world with their (joint) players and establish motivations in a dedicated space, a «Magic Circle», whereas game mechanics are constructs of rules designed for interactions that provide gameplay. Those rules form the base for all the excitement and frustration we experience in games. This anthology contains individual essays by experts and authors with backgrounds in Game Design and Game Studies, who lead the discourse to get to the bottom of game mechanics in video games and the real world – among them Miguel Sicart and Carlo Fabricatore.

CHF 55.00Ernst 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.

CHF 55.00Ernst Keller (1891-1968). Teacher and pioneer of the Swiss Style
In various different places, particularly in the USA, when writing the history of graphic design, Ernst Keller is referred to as the father of Swiss Style, later International Typographic Style. This is down to the large number of Keller students, who later shaped this Swiss Style and made it famous. Keller’s achievement is shown purely using his oeuvre, primarily his poster designs and his work on lettering and graphic design in architecture.
Ernst Keller’s contribution to the development of innovative, non-academic didactic principles in design training plays a fundamental role. His teaching activity starting in 1918 can be defined as one of the first systematic training programmes for graphic design in the world.

Not at Your Service: Manifestos for Design brings together the broad spectrum of beliefs, subjects and practices of designers at Zurich University of the Arts. It offers different approaches and insights on the present-day role and impact of design. It is not conceived as a finished project, but as a fluid document of its time. Collaborative design, interaction within complex systems, attention economics, the ecological shift, visual literacy, gender-neutral design, «quick and dirty» design ethnography, social responsibility, the value of ugliness, death futures, immersive technologies, identity and crises, design as a transformative discipline – all of these topics are presented for debate with passion, conviction and professional expertise.
