Reversing into the Future: New Wave Graphics 1977-1990 is a unique and fascinating graphic design history book curated by Andrew Krivine, showcasing an extensive collection of original posters, leaflets, artwork, and memorabilia from the golden age of New Wave.
It includes exclusive artwork and expert textual commentary, serving as the complete guide for this unforgettable period. With the emergence of a new generation of music listeners who were influenced by punk, major record labels were seeking sounds and visuals to capture the energy and provocative attitude of punk, whilst ignoring its political dimension. New Wave was embraced by the mainstream music and entertainment industries, promoting artists who rejected the anti-consumerism and anti-materialism of the original punk movement, opting for a more optimistic, humorous, and colorful approach.
Reversing Into The Future: New Wave Graphics 1977-1990 includes graphic designs from The B52s, Boomtown Rats, Devo, Duran Duran, The Cars, Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson, XTC, Cyndi Lauper, The Police, Simple Minds, Gary Numan, Japan, Blondie, Talking Heads, The Go-Gos, and many others. The designers involved include Martyn Atkins, Barney Bubbles, Chris Morton, Malcolm Garrett, Alex McDowell, Tony Wright, Martin Kaye, and others.
The book is a collectible item, beautifully produced with a cover by world-renowned designers Malcolm Garrett and Chip Kidd. Alongside a rich variety of original artwork and graphics from the New Wave era, the book also features texts by recognizable and respected commentators, critics, and designers from the UK, the United States, and Australia. This book captures the stunning impact of New Wave and is ideal for hardcore music lovers and graphic design enthusiasts.
