Paul Rand: A Designer's Eye Summary

Paul Rand: A Designer's Eye by JP Williams

A photo essay of a cache of items from the archive of iconic graphic designer Paul Rand. Accumulated over a lifetime of travel, they include a wide variety of packages, shopping bags, dolls, toys, etc.

A unique look into the mind of the legendary designer, whose influence and popularity have continued long after his death in 1996.

The foreword, written by JP Williams, a former student of Rand, tells of his relationship with the designer and describes the power objects can hold. The book also serves as a valuable design reference for aficionados and collectors of interesting and lost packaging.
