Make It Bigger

Living in harmony with your neighbor isn't always easy, but it's doubly difficult if you're a bear living in a New York City brownstone, getting ready to hibernate, and the kangaroos' tap dancing upstairs and Miss Cat's piano playing reverberate through the walls and floors. But Miss Cat has her own complaint: the cooking smells from the pigs downstairs. Happily, the wise owl landlord rearranges everybody so they can live in peace. This warm and funny story, slightly revised from the 1972 original, shows the young reader that you can learn to respect and live with others who are different from you.

Diplômée de la Tyler School of Art de Philadelphie, Paula Scher débute sa carrière dans les années 1970, en tant que directrice artistique de CBS et Atlantic Records. En 1991, elle intègre l'agence Pentagram et en devient rapidement une des figures emblématiques. Elle conçoit l'identité visuelle de clients tels que le New York Times, le Ballet Tech, le Metropolitan Opera, le New York City Ballet... Quintessence du New York survolté et créatif, Paula Scher fait sans conteste partie des meilleurs graphistes de sa génération.

The Honeymoon Book

A larger-than-life figure in the design community with a client list to match, Paula Scher turned her first major project as a partner at Pentagram into a formative twenty-five-year relationship with the Public Theater in New York. This behind-the-scenes account of the relationship between Scher and "the Public," as it's affectionately known, chronicles over two decades of brand and identity development and an evolving creative process in a unique "autobiography of graphic design."

Twenty-Five Years at the Public, A Love Story

La maison de brique

In the early 1990s, celebrated graphic designer Paula Scher (Make It Bigger, 2002) began painting maps of the world as she sees it. The larger her canvases grew, the more expressionistic her geographical visions became. Displaying a powerful command of image and type, Scher brilliantly transformed the surface area of our world. Paintings as tall as twelve feet depict continents, countries, and cities swirling in torrents of information and undulating with colorful layers of hand-painted boundary lines, place-names, and provocative cultural commentary. Collected here for the first time, Paula Scher MAPS presents thirty-nine of Scher's obsessively detailed, highly personal creations.
