Africa’s No 1 Arts Bookstore and Publisher

 

Lürzer’s Archive Specials publish headturning international work from those areas of graphic design in which groundbreaking trends first see the light of the day: music, packaging design, catalogs & brochures, commercial illustration, and photography.

With each volume numbering over 250 pages, the specials feature more than 400 works from one of these specific disciplines.

“Design for Music” presents the pick of new CD covers, booklets, flyers and stickers. “Packaging Design” – of which two volumes have thus far appeared – showcases exciting new possibilities and approaches in the field of product and product-related packaging. “Catalogues & Brochures” is the name of the volume devoted to outstanding design from the world of annual reports, catalogues and calendars, while “Commercial Illustration” turns the spotlight onto the full range of commercial design work – from advertising through to book and newspaper illustration. The world’s best photography are to be found in two issues of “Advertising Photography” and in Lürzer’s 200 Best Series “200 Best Ad Photographers worldwide” and “200 Best Illustrators worldwide” that have been published to date.

Lürzer’s upcoming issue is “200 Best Ad Photographers worldwide 2008/2009″ which will feature the work of 200 of the world’s best photographers.

The cutting-edge work featured in all of these volumes is not only a major source of inspiration but also helps to make Lürzer’s ARCHIVE SPECIALS an art buying tool boasting a quite unrivalled selection in qualitative terms, the editorial sections being open only to people with genuine creative abilities – rather than those with fat pocketbooks.
