The book designed by Tissi, winner of Grand Prix Design Award 2018 and First solo monograph about Rosmarie Tissi’s over 60 years of professional experience as a graphic designer. Rosmarie Tissi (b. 1937) is an acclaimed Swiss graphic designer. She took the preliminary course at the Kunstgewerbeschule Zürich (School of Arts and Crafts), and then completed a four-year apprenticeship as a graphic designer with Siegfried Odermatt, a master of Swiss graphic design. A very talented typographer, her work was published in the legendary magazine Neue Grafik since the first issue in 1957, when she was still a student. In 1968, after ten years spent working with Odermatt, she and her mentor set up the collective studio O&T (Odermatt & Tissi), but working separately on each one’s commissions. The studio mainly focused on printed matter, posters, and custom typefaces for clients from the cultural and public fields. During her career she moved from a Modern attitude towards functionality and neutrality to an individualistic graphic language that expresses her personality through dynamic layouts, vivid colors, and type experiments. Her best projects offer an interesting and original contribution to the Swiss graphic design heritage. Member of AGI (Alliance Graphique Internationale) since 1974. Member of ADC (Art Directors Club) since 1992. She was awarded numerous prizes
