Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
An astute re-evaluation of the fading American dream, Coast to Coast takes you on a non-stop, whirlwind ride through the non-commercial, non-commissioned work of young designers from Boston to San Francisco. Every influence America has ever exerted upon itself has found its place in this monster collection: Take the itchiest, scratchiest typography, add Flash-y image manipulation, swirl in some acid ice cream colours, 50s billboard posters and a nod to David Carson, add a spot of tagging and revolutionary web design for a very a potent graphic cocktail. Including a preface by American design expert and co-editor Ken Coupland (Wired, ResFest) as well as interviews with and profiles of the participants, Coast to Coast is divided into five broad sections: Deconstructive Typography, Urban Art, the Digital Realm, Rock Style and the ubiquitous American Retro. The first publication to condense decades of influence, lifestyles and an entire generation of US graphic designers into such a compact yet comprehensive collection, Coast to Coast is both documentation and a defining guide for this brand new, distinctly American style.
