German graphic design has undergone a dramatic metamorphosis in recent years. Young professionals and students have been demonstrating heightened technical skills and strong, individualistic styles.The emerging design generation has broken with cultural and geographical boundaries, entering the international arena and competing with cutting edge design icons worldwide. As the scope and depth of this exciting development has been under recognised, Neuland documents the future of German graphic design by presenting the best work of up-and-coming designers and design studios. This book compiles 500 pages of exciting ideas, never before seen experiments, self-initiated projects and commercial work from Germans working and studying at home and abroad, as well as non-Germans working and studying in Germany.

Great find. Graphic designing is evolving right before our eyes not just in Germany but in other countries as well. As technology delivers us better software and development opens up new ideas, graphic designers can go beyond boundaries.
I can’t listen to this crap anymore. “New breed of german designers…” There is a certain style of course but it’s definetly not a breed it’s a development and there certainly are no big differences between dutch, spanish or polish graphic designers.
It’s honoring to see a book willing to take a closer look onto what’s happening in germany. Since swiss, dutch and great britain certainly are huge buzzwords in the industry, germany certainly deserves to be shed some light on.
But cut that PR crap: “young professionals…individualistic…new boundaries…cutting edge…design icons… worldwide… presenting the best… pay some cash for this ultrahip book or die alone… exciting ideas… yaddayadda” A good book suddenly may sound like a caricature and a good blog suddenly may appear like dull no-cochones advertising area with no passion about what they are actually posting about.
