All Access /anglais: The Making of 30 Extraordinary Graphic Designers - Softcover

All Access takes a "before they were stars" look at twenty-five giants in the graphic design industry by juxtaposing an edited selection of "the stars' greatest hits" with their "pre-fame" work. Author Stefan Bucher showcases their visual history, the first pieces that made them stars, their transitional work and the eventual breakthrough pieces that caused their names to be known around the world. Insightful text exploring mentors, education and eureka moments complements this visual timeline illustrating the journey from struggling novice to master designer.

As with the masters, Bucher explores their road to early success and showcases the groundbreaking and inspiring work that is currently lifting these young designers into the spotlight.
