Welcome to Litsy!

In an age of uninspired corporate design and ominous "viral marketing," this book takes a fresh look at the world's current production of "analogue design". It is an international survey of the best examples created in recent times and draws on many influences from punk rock and cartoons to hand-painted street signs and graffiti. Handmade takes a refreshingly new, organic approach to this subject and exposes the appeal of its aesthetic power. Contributors range from young emerging artists to seasoned practitioners and include Matthias Gephart, Insect, Yuko Shimizu, Fawn Gehweiler, Fafi, Skwak, Sfaustina, Tokidoki, Melina Rodrigo, Yomar Augusto, Rinzen, Marok, Mike Giant, John John Jesse, WK Interact, Jasper Goodall, Charles Wilkin, Dave Kinsey, Shepard Fairey, and Chris Ashworth. Designers include Ed Fella, Plazm, Why Not Associates and Stefan Sagmeister.
