the book
Postcard is the very first major publication conceived, compiled, written and designed by Agathe Jacquillat and Tomi Vollauschek at FL@33.
packaging
The book comes in an exciting packaging FL@33 developed back in February 2007. Its die-cut cover reveals details from the 20 commissioned postcards contained in pockets behind the cover. There are over 380 different versions of the front cover alone – due to the different possible combinations of the 20 enclosed cards which were added in random order. The commissioned cards are by Daniel Eatock, Juju's Delivery, Jeremyville, 123Klan, Geneviève Gauckler, Catalina Estrada, Marion Deuchars, Hellovon, eBoy, Gregory Gilbert-Lodge, Supermundane, Anthony Burrill, Tabas, Rinzen, Andrzej Klimowski, Yorgo Tloupas, Mark Adams, Elisabeth Lecourt, Vaughan Oliver at v23 and FL@33.

The original English edition of Postcard was released in September 2008 by Laurence King Publishing. Several foreign language editions were also released by their international partner publishers including a French edition by Pyramyd Editions entitled 'Cartes Postales', a Spanish edition by Gustavo Gili entitled 'Postales – Diseño por correo' and a German edition who kept the original 'Postcard' title (but added the subtitle 'Postkarten-Design heute') by DuMont – Literatur und Kunstverlag.
It's the only book to document recent postcard design, this will appeal to anyone interested in art, design and graphics and taps into the trend for postcards – popular in art, advertising and as limited editions for collectors. The book features on 224 pages over 800 hand-picked postcards and postcard-related projects by over 130 artists, illustrators, photographers, designers, studios and collectives from all around the world, with emerging talents sitting alongside established artists. Features handmade artworks, limited edition sets and books, commercial promo cards, high-tech postcards and interactive online projects that successfully link the virtual with the physical world.
