Parallel texts in Japanese and English. A very good or better perfect-bound magazine in thick, printed wrappers: light wear overall, especially to the perfect-bound spine. Interior unmarked and very clean. Out-of-print and rather uncommon. Cover design by Paul Rand.

8.75 x 11.5 perfect-bound magazine with 136 pages profusely illustrated with color and blacka nd white work examples from the careers of the 30 features designers. IDEA served as the Japanese equivalent of GRAPHIS -- a magazine dedicating to promoting the Graphic Arts of a certain region to the rest of the world. IDEA offers the contemporary viewer a glimpse into Japanese Graphic Design Culture as it emerged from the ashes of World War II and made its influence felt on a global scale.
