AGI Congress, Postcard Collection, Humour in Design and Photography, 1994 [Pentagram]

AGI Congress, Cambridge England, May 1994, ‘Humour in Design and Photography’ Postcard Collection book. 6 x 4.25, n.p. [128 total cards, includes an introduction card].

To mark AGI‘s 1994 Cambridge Congress on Humour in Design and Photography, members chose a piece of their own work they consider to be funny, and another favorite piece from someone else. Entries have been put together in the most self-contained form of visual wit - the postcard. The result is a charming block of bound postcards, designed by Pentagram. These excellent designs by the world‘s leading graphic designers show the power in humour and visual wit - through illustrations, visual puns, cartoons, and photography.

Participating designers and photographers include: Bruce Blackburn, Pieter Brattinga, Tom Geismar, Ivan Chermayeff, Seymour Chwast, Olle Eskell, Gene Federico, Alan Fletcher, Steff Geissbuhler, Rolf Harder, Burton Kramer, Italo Lupi, Tomoko Miho, Shigeo Fukuda, Robert Frank, Louis Silverstein, Deborah Sussman, Ikko Tanaka, and many more. 

An uncommon, original work of design ephemera. Some light handling to the front and back covers and corners. Postcards are printed on thick cardstock and are in very good condition.
