Pentagram Papers 34: Monografias focuses on Monografias, the colorfully illustrated Mexican teaching aids available on every subject from alcoholism to aviation; human evolution to the moon. They run the gamut from no nonsense realism to romanticized interpretations, and were considered by Michael Bierut as interesting examples of information design: concise, wordless and sometimes comic.

Retrospective: Shakespeare in the Park
In 1954, impresario Joe Papp began a summer tradition of staging free outdoor performances of Shakespeare, inaugurating the Public Theater’s beloved Shakespeare in the Park festival. Pentagram partner Paula Scher, whose relationship with the Public spans four decades, has designed a new identity for the series for thirty consecutive summers. Each campaign is customized to the season’s theme, creating a highly visible graphic vocabulary for outdoor advertising, social media, and on-site signage.
