43rd Publication Design Annual

Dostępność: na zamówienie New in paperback, this workbook is a methodical yet comprehensive approach to conveying the fundamentals of avant-garde, innovative, information design by examining history, theory, criticism, technology and media, process, method, and practice. Opening with a very brief history followed by an instructive breakdown of the discipline, readers get an intimate understanding of the complexities of crafting information design to effectively improve communication both functionally and aesthetically. The back half of the book contains a wide range of case studies from design firms around the world so designers can see the techniques previously outlined in the first half of the book. The author also critiques and explains why the design is successful in terms of formal quality (Aesthetics) and function (How does it improve communication?).

Dostępność: na zamówienie A far cry from the aggressive ads we`ve become used to, American print advertisements from the first two decades of the 20th century were almost shockingly pleasant. Intricately designed and beautifully illustrated, often in the art nouveau style popular at the time, four-color, full-page magazine advertisements were welcome respites from the bland, text-filled pages among which they appeared. Sales pitches were earnest and friendly; beer, for example, was billed as "The Evening Glass of Cheer" and toothpaste was described as "Delicious Ribbon Dental Cream"—perhaps not the catchiest slogans, but they were on to something. The American consumerist boom of the 20th century was just beginning and advertising was getting its sea legs. From motorcars to hair tonics to steamship cruises to Coca-Cola ("After the theatre drink a glass… it relieves fatigue"), America was peddling its wares in style and setting an example of how to advertise in the modern age. This exhaustive compendium of ads from the period—many of which haven`t been seen for over eight decades—is a fascinating reminder of surprisingly simpler times and a rediscovery of a forgotten age in advertising history.

Materials inspire and arouse emotions, they surround us everywhere, we possess them and feel them. As with people, our first impression of them is provided by the visual perception they create.

Dostępność: na zamówienie "We have to replace beauty, which is a cultural concept, with goodness, which is a humanist concept." – Philippe Starck. Philippe Starck wants to bring love and happiness into your life by designing objects, environments, and appliances that will brighten your days. He spent his childhood under his father's drawing boards, sawing, cutting, gluing, and sanding, dismantling bikes, motorcycles and other objects. Several years and several prototypes later, he has changed life at the French presidential palace, the Italians have asked him to renew the notion of furniture, and he has turned the Royalton and Paramount in New York into the first classics of the new hotel world. Starck's overwhelming international success and cult-star status are proof that people everywhere are receptive to his kindhearted philosophy and distinctive aesthetic sensibility. The democratic design projects that he has undertaken with Target (USA) and j/ii (Japan), as well as the TASCHEN bookshops in Paris and Los Angeles and the Bon restaurant chain, are among the projects included in this volume that traces the entire career of today's foremost design superhero.

Dostępny od 15 września 2016 Trzydzieści jeden miast, kilkadziesiąt zajmujących opowieści. Filip Springer przejechał całą Polskę od Słupska po Krosno i od Suwałk do Wałbrzycha, żeby zobaczyć, jak żyje się dziś w miastach, które w 1999 roku utraciły status stolicy województwa. Poznał ich historię, rozmawiał z mieszkańcami. Spotykał przedsiębiorców, artystów, aktywistów i bezrobotnych. Zaglądał do lokalnych warsztatów i kafejek, odwiedzał upadłe fabryki i prężnie rozwijające się firmy, dworce i McDonald'sy. Pytał ludzi o to, z czego są w swoim mieście dumni, co ich cieszy, a co chcieliby zmienić. Z książki wyłania się niejednoznaczny, migotliwy obraz Polski mniejszych miast – gdzie wszystko może się zdarzyć i nic nie jest tak proste, jakby się mogło wydawać.

Colour aides the transmission and enhancement of a mood or a feeling. It creates a certain type of ambience and awakes desire...This collection delves into six colours, one by one, in monochrome. Each book is a monograph on one colour which explores its application in a wide range of areas, shapes and states. Starting with 'Black', the colour of the night, silence, intimacy, mystery, elegance, and the unknown, we will learn how to exploit it fully, as it is observed in architecture, in gastronomy and in objects. 'Black' constitutes a true source of inspiration for professional and amateur creative projects. Born in 1979 in Barcelona, S. L. García studied Arts & Design in the University of Barcelona.

Dostępność: na zamówienie After a goldmine of cultural and subconscious information, the history of patterns parallels and informs the history of humanity. After decades of modern minimalism and clear lines, people are enjoying a return to more playful design, rich in colors and textures. Pattern-making and pattern design, in particular, has made a major comeback as a way to embellish a surface with their use often displaying unexpected depths. Indeed, we have witnessed a revival in enriched, traditional motifs, and seen them applied in thought-provoking ways, in an unlimited variety of designs and textures. The use of new computer technologies has brought about surprising, often intricate results, on an aesthetic as well as conceptual level. In the most recent years, counter reactions to that which is digital, are visible in the work of crafty designers who embrace illustration and a hand-made, do-it-yourself aesthetic, while taking full advantage of the versatility and speed computer programs can afford them. Cutting-Edge Patterns and Textures is a stimulating book featuring full-page, color images of inspired patterns and boasts an eclectic array of styles from all around the world. This book is destined to become a desktop reference for professional and amateur designers alike.
