I Heart Design by Steven Heller is a collection of “favorite” design objects and ephemera as selected by 80 prominent graphic designers, typographers, teachers, scholars, writers and design impresarios. The selections span a breadth of styles and preferences such as modern over postmodern, serif over sans serif, decorative over minimal. Designs featured include the iconic CBS eye, the stark Kodak identity, the Coca-Cola bottle, and, of course, The Rolling Stones’ Sticky Fingers album cover as selected by designer Stefan Sagmeister.
The presentation of the content design and selections is a very straight-forward approach. The typographic decisions present an eclectic and delightful nod to the breadth and variation of the selections. For the cover, the the variations of width and weights of the Knockout family from Hoefler & Co. allowed for the creation of a typographic assemblage inspired by variety and vaudeville show posters of the past.
