JUST IN: IDEA Special Issue: Graphic Designers on the West Coast (1975)

Launched in 1953, IDEA is a quarterly magazine published in Japan that focuses on graphic design and typography.

The magazine tackles all aspects of design - posters, packaging, logos, book covers - and extends its publications to overall design and art direction from all over the world.

This rare special issue published in 1975 offers an introduction to American graphic designers in the West Coast.

Indeed, the opening text highlights the fact that New York used to be the main destination for designers and design studios.
Nevertheless, the issue wishes to point out an emerging group of designers working in the West Coast, featuring artists such as Don Weller, James Cross, Harry Murphy, John & Barbara Casado.
