18 Tomi Ungerer: The Picasso of Caricature By Thérèse Willer
Bursting with madcap creativity, Ungerer has spanned seemingly antinomian facets: children's books, commercial art, satirical and erotic drawings. Vivid to the point of provocation, his work has left an indelible mark on the world of graphic arts. Let's celebrate the wild imagination of this versatile maestro.
38 Duffy: A Platinum Anniversary By Warren Berger
In his easy manner, Joe Duffy shares a chicken-pot-pie and his take on the rift between advertising and design, then goes on to warm against using beauty pageants for logo design. Reflections on 20 years worth of award-winning corporate design.
58 Rivers and Mosaics: M.A.D is Branding IBM software By Ken Coupland
How do you develop a product identity in a rapidly changing market? Form a branding solution that can fully reveal itself over time, through multiple implementations.
64 Giménez: "If it's not beautiful, it cannot be functional" By Luis Grossman

Sandro's photography is an art/life dialectic with a powerful but restrained syntax, able to find and express that something is worth finding.
