Marcel Duchamp used the phrase 'Beware Wet Paint' to remind us that it takes time to judge the worth of work. This book looks at thirty-five years of Alan Fletcher's work; some of the most recent may not yet be dry. This is also a book about the design process, the thinking behind the solutions and the methods used to resolve them. To show this more clearly the examples illustrated are, in the main, not displayed in their original context but as images in their own right.
Each example is accompanied by a full commentary by Jeremy Myerson. Four essays give further critical and biographical insight to the work, and the man.

Edition Notes
"Beware wet paint Designs by Alan Fletcher presents graphic design from the hands and thoughts of a contemporary master. These are demonstrated with 250 examples of work produced for major clients around the world, or just for his own amusement. Grouped into thematic chapters, the examples show his concepts and references, his lithe and lateral jumps, his ability to fuse interpretation, aesthetics and function with apparent ease. Personal observations and four essays give further critical and biographical insight into the work, and the man. Each of the designs is accompanied with a commentary by Jeremy Myerson"--Dust jkt. spine.
