Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The new handmade graphics combines a collection of graphic designers with an astonishing diversity of creative approach and geographical location. The one thing they share is that they are experimenting in ways that remove or reduce dependence on the computer. Scrupulous and haphazard, traditional and futuristic, pure and polluted, the work in this book is an energetic mix of styles, technologies and attitudes that represent the most encouraging signs for graphic design in years. The new handmade graphics is the marker for a post-digital generation. Includes work by: Alan Kitching, Johnson Banks, Alan Fletcher, Mevis & van Deursen, Peter Anderson, Graphic Thought Facility, LettError, Vince Frost, Stefan Sagmeister, Phil Baines, Derek Birdsall, Goodwill, Design Writing Research, Daniel Eatock, John Morgan, John Maeda, Studio Myerscough, NB Studio, Eric Wear, Paul Elliman, Bump, Mark Pawson.
