Design & Designer 001 – Pascal Colrat, official blurb: The very first book in the Design & Designer monograph series features Pascal Colrat – a designer of signs. As a photographer and graphic artist, he questions the world with his visual rhetoric. His image language is compelling, and always evokes a strong reaction on the part of the viewer. In May 2002, his exhibition at the Pompidou Centre Signes de la Biélorussie was a great success. Since the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts, Pascal Colrat has methodically explored the profession of graphic artist. Pascal Colrat calls himself a “photo-graphic artist”, and uses his own photos in his designs. He likes confronting images and symbols to create new meaning, in which everyone finds something for himself, whether in his own reality or his fantasies. Beyond his assignments for live shows or municipal communications campaigns, he has created a substantial body of personal work.

Paris-based Pyramyd Editions has regularly been publishing monographs since 2002 featuring work by selected artists, graphic and product designers. These bilingual monographs form part of a series called Design & Designer. The books contain introductions and descriptions in French and English for the many featured project visuals. Each publication title has a serial number (such as Designer & Designer 033 – FL@33).

In some cases – especially within the first 25 of the series – a second and even third edition was published with fresh new content and a 'v.2' or 'v.3' added to the book title. Other titles go out of print and do not seem to be reprinted in the foreseeable future (such as Antoine+Manuel's book for example). At time of writing this text the Designer & Designer series already reached serial number 086.

A few selected titles are available here especially by some of our own contributors who already created button badges and more for Stereohype. Fill any gaps you may have in your collection or start yours today.
