Have to spill it out: I’m in Megg’s History of Graphic Design!!! I am sooo thrilled, excited, honored, and deeply humbled to be included in this book:
“This is the unrivaled, comprehensive, and award-winning reference tool on graphic design recognized for publishing excellence by the Association of American Publishers. Now, this Fifth Edition of Meggs’ History of Graphic Design offers even more detail and breadth of content than its heralded predecessors, revealing a saga of creative innovators, breakthrough technologies, and important developments responsible for paving the historic paths that define the graphic design experience. In addition to classic topics such as the invention of writing and alphabets, the origins of printing and typography, and postmodern design, this new Fifth Edition presents new information on current trends and technologies sweeping the graphic design landscape—such as the web, multimedia, interactive design, and private presses, thus adding new layers of depth to an already rich resource.”
I really can’t put into words just how happy I am to have been added to its pages. This is definitely a career highlight :)
Koufiya, Frutiger Arabic, and Neue Helvetica Arabic are shown in the book. Some of my other typefaces are also listed.
ألف مبروك!
It’s certainly well deserved recognition! The pictures look great. Happy new year! I hope it continues for you as joyfully as it began.
Very much enjoying the “birthday” fonts from November by the way, thank you again so much.
Dear Nadine,
I am trying to comment on the previous post but it’s not working for some reason. Very excited you’ll be teaching the workshop in Dubai with Nuqat. Just a quick question, will participants learn Type Design? The description on Nuqat’s site doesn’t specify and I tried contacting them but they’re not sure. Thanks!
Hi Basma,
Will try to fix the comments thing. It’s great that you are interested in the workshop. It will be about lettering and type design so yes we will be looking at letterforms up close. I will make a dedicated post about the workshop details and put them on the blog. Hope to see you there!
Congratulations Nadine! I think good work needs to be recognized, specially in the realm of Arabic typography renaissance! well done.
I will meet you in Nuqat conference soon. Best.
Thanks Nadine! I saw the updated post, thanks! And congrats on making it into Meggs’ book! :) See you soon.
Thank you! Looking forward to see you too :)
