(Publishers review) 'During 21 years of publication, Baseline has become the leading international magazine about type and typography. It began life in 1979, published by the graphics arts products manufacturer, Letraset. It was originally intended as mainly a vehicle to promote new typeface designs, made available under licence to typesetting system manufacturers. Published ‘when available material allowed’, Baseline nevertheless gained an immediate reputation despite only appearing on average once a year for its first 10 years of existence. Its editorial content, despite the obligatory typeface promotion, struck a chord with the typographic community, because of its objective, and informed approach.' (Source) www.baselinemagazine.com
(Editorial) 'Whilst essentially, a vehicle for the typographic thoughts of others Baseline has stopped in its tracks and taken a new look at itself. We have made a conscious effort to create a little more space in which to show work from around the world and allow it to speak for itself. At the same time our typographic prospectors have found much that is stimulating and fresh.
While the world of type manufacturers looks gloomily unto the black hole, which is its future the design practitioners find new stimuli in the mixture of type and images. Everyone can find elements to enjoy in the design approach of groups like eG.g and Orange in the UK, Cyan, in Germany, and Work-sight in the USA.
You'll find experimentation, the search for new ways of presenting ideas and some hints of gradual return to a simpler typography? And, as balance, the solid design craftsmanship of Daniel Pelavin and Morris Fuller Benton, and an educational tour through the history of letterforms. Enjoy your typographic journey!'
