关于此电子书
Martha Fleming, one of Allan Fleming’s three children, introduces readers to ‘Allan Fleming's Many Worlds’, setting the scene for the group of scholars who contributed articles to this edition. She also presents a useful chronology of her father's life and work, both personal and professional.
Robert Tombs, Devin Crawley, Donna Braggins, Carol Payne and Brian Donnelly each contribute pieces that document Fleming’s design career, particularly in the areas of book, magazine, and logo design.
Also reproduced are Allan Fleming's ‘Autobiographical Fragments and Canadian Nationalisms’, lending Fleming's own voice to the volume, and the 1965 ‘Ontario Hydro Symbol Document’, which provides readers with a sample of Fleming's design work.
