Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
From his introductory notes explaining the book's subtitle, Kalman demonstrates a clear contrariness to the common understanding of the role of graphic design. From window dresser and shopping bag designer of the nascent Barnes & Noble in the 1970s to founder and leader of the award-winning M & Co. design firm in the 1980s to his revolutionary anti-selling aesthetic as founding editor-in-chief at Benetton's Colors magazine, Kalman has sought out roles unfamiliar to him and done them in his own way. This hasn't stopped him from developing one of the best-known and most influential bodies of work in the field. If all this monograph did were to convey this complex personality?as it does in the more than a dozen essays by and interviews with former clients and co-workers?it would be a grand success. But, more than that, it surveys important work from his entire career in more than 600 illustrations, all thoughtfully captioned. Essential for all academic libraries, this addictively browseable tribute is also recommended for larger public libraries.?Eric Bryant, "Library Journal"

A witty, eclectic tome of images and writings—half catalog, half manifesto. New Yorker
[Kalman's] body of work [is] breathtaking to behold all at once, which is the best thing about Tibor Kalman: Perverse Optimist, a handsomely produced volume that is an archive of and homage to the designer...It is a playful greatest hits compilation of his most important work. New York Times

This book is an inspiration. Check out his exhibit at the SF Moma if you can, and pick this book up for reference.
Here is a designer that realized that everything should not look neat, polished, and bland- reflecting what every corporate machine thinks is "tasteful". The designer has a responsibility to add flair, artistic integrity and originality into his/her work. That means punch, depth, grit, irony- everything that we used to see in advertising before MTV and online megastores.
Today's web designers often copy the latest "polished" style in an attempt to look professional, and garner more clients. That's why so much of the web looks alike right now. I even admit that I look back on old designs and wonder if I designed something because I liked it- or if I knew that the client would like it.
This book helps to shake forth the notion that we can propel design (even on the web) both artistically and commercially, forward with social and political integrity! Buy this book.

I have tons of design books! Too many books! Of all the books this one travels with me everywhere I go just in case I need a little inspiration. Tibor and his pack of designers I believe have defined what design and communication is all about. They have pushed ideas to the point of rare novelty. With many of the designs in this book I can see that M&Co never stops asking the greatest of all creative questions: "What if?" There is only one thing I hate about the book - It makes me second guess everything that I do. Is it orginal? Is it "What if" enough? Am I following the creative line that is widely walked or have I grown enough spine to stray off the beaten path?
...Or am I just full of s**t?

Haven't much time (and this is obviously my first review) but here it is: this book is ALIVE - you keep opening it and finding something new/fun/provoking - kind of like casting a printed media i ching (is that the right spelling?) - I've never been particularly interested in design or typograhy before, but it opened me up to those - as well as being a tremendously fun book to have around.
