His books include More Dark Than Shark (1986), a study of Brian Eno's early songs, Typography Now: The Next Wave (1991), and Typographica (2001). He is the author of two collections of essays, Design Without Boundaries (1998) and Obey the Giant: Life in the Image World (2001).

Poynor studied the history of art at Manchester University and gained an MPhil in design history from the Royal College of Art, London. He has been a visiting professor at the RCA and a tutor at the Jan van Eyck Akademie in Maastricht, and he lectures widely on design matters in Europe, the United States and Australia. He is guest curator of the exhibition "Communicate: Independent British Graphic Design since the Sixties", which opened at the Barbican Centre, London in September 2004 and is touring in China through 2005.
몰랐는데 Typography now의 저자로 유명한 게 아니라 세계적 그래픽디자인 잡지 eye의 편집장이서 유명했구나 이 사람. 요즘은 print, domus, I.D Adbusters 등에 디자인과 미디어에 대한 글을 올린다고 한다.
사실 이 사람을 가장 먼저 알게 된 건 91년에 나온 typography now라는 책에서였다. 이 책을 소장하고 있지는 않지만 많은 충격을 받았고 타입을 "당대" 에는 이렇게 사용한다는 것을 알게 되었다. Manchester University와 RCA에서 수학하고 RCA에 visiting professor로 있었다고 한다.
작품보다는 우리에게 글로 더 설명해주는게 많은 듯한 사람이다. 요즘 포스트모던 그래픽디자인에 관한 책이 하나 우리나라에서 나왔다. 방금 사서 읽는중. 읽고 감상문 쓰겠음! |
