Educación sentimental para la niña de tus ojos

Montague Projects. Daily Book Graphics. A Curatorial Blog Project



En Febrero de 2009, Julian Montague, artista y diseñador gráfico de Buffalo, New York, inició un nuevo proyecto, Daily Book Graphics, consistente en dedicar un post diario en su blog al apartado gráfico de los libros de su biblioteca fijándose especialmente en el diseño de las portadas y prestando una mayor atención a los publicados entre los años 1950 y 1980, de una mayor sensibilidad modernista. Se pueden seguir sus aportaciones diarias a través de su blog y de su cuenta en flickr

Since February 21st 2009 I have been posting some sort of book cover or book graphic to my Montague Projects Blog almost everyday. At the time of this writing there are almost 1,600 images associated with the project.

While I started off with the idea of liberating images of all sorts from the books on my shelves, over time I came to focus almost exclusively on covers. My further focus is on covers that reflect a modernist design sensibility, mostly from between 1950 and 1980.

I don't have any plans to stop the project, doing this for the last couple years has been an education in graphic design. I also enjoy the process of hunting for the books (book sales, thrift stores, never online), discovering obscure designers, and collecting the covers of some of the better known ones.
