A Book on Books
From scrolls and sheets of papyrus to elaborate and expensive codices to the mass press-printed volumes as we know them today, books have come a long way since writing was first developed. Although digital technology has impacted how we consume information over the last few decades, book design has survived as a means of showcasing creativity and craftsmanship, as books remain important sources of inspiration, knowledge, and entertainment. A Book on Books showcases some of the best book design work from all over the world in celebrating the designers' contributions to preserving reading culture, as they continue to make books eye-catching and exciting to read or own. It also captures the voices of key influencers from publishing, printmaking, book fair organizing, and bookshop-owning standpoints, as they continue to play a crucial role in keeping the book-making industry alive and thriving even in the unknown future.
The Big Brother Book
No other magazine pushed the boundaries of skateboarding and pop culture like Big Brother, the raunchiest, rowdiest magazine to come out of the 1990s. Constantly at the center of much-deserved controversy, the rag has been decried as pornography, bought and unexpectedly dropped by Larry Flynt of the Hustler empire, and credited as the genesis of the Jackass universe; it was also the champion of unknown skaters and featured some of today's biggest names in skate culture when they were just children. Now author Sean Cliver puts a bow on the publication with The Big Brother Book, a collection of covers and spreads from every issue of the notorious publication. Featuring high-quality scans of the magazine itself no production or layout files remain in existence with just enough text to explain what's going on and choice quotes from each issue, this book makes it easy as well as fun to stoop to Big Brother's level.
Computer Generated
3D art is in a transformative moment. This dynamic art movement is enabled by new tools and limited only by the imagination of its creators. Artists working in CG art today are unfettered by curators and gatekeepers, making their case directly to the public, largely on social media platforms such as Instagram. Organized in 3 sections, People, Places and Things, Computer Generated dives into this movement to showcase a cross-section of work from some of its most dynamic artists such as Andreas Wannerstedt, Antoni Tudisco, Roger Kilimanjaro, David McLeod, Alexis Christodoulou, Josh Pierce and Alexy PreĢfontaine. This collection aims to define a new art movement, serve as a resource for the digital art community, and inspire a new generation of CG artists.
Branding Typography
To have no limits, to be boundless in form or expression - this is the intent of a fresh new series that examines some of the most basic units of design through their myriad applications. Whether hand drawn or vector based, type is a versatile tool in the hands of most designers, creating bold, expressive graphics that extend a brand as they convey information. In the hands of a master, new typefaces become iconic and unforgettable. Branding Typography gathers a selection of the most original type design of recent years, used to promote products and companies through game changing graphics in print, fashion, interiors and packaging.
How to Disappear
Moki's images are unsettling and charming, strange yet familiar. They feature lonely northern landscapes: isolated Scandinavian and Icelandic terrain, a subarctic frozen lake continent, untouched caves and moss meadows and mountains sculpted into anatomical shapes by wind and water. Animals and humans emerge and dissolve into their environments. Within the solitude of nature, disappearing seems an obvious act. Her art evokes the animation of Hayao Miyazaki, but with a chilling beauty that's pure Moki.
The Book of Probes
"'The Book of Probes' is a collection of Marshall McLuhan's finest words culled from his books, his more than 200 speeches, his classes at the University of Toronto ... and from nearly 700 shorter writings he published between 1945 and 1980"--Jacket.
Installation Art Now
The much anticipated follow-up volume to our bestselling 2011 title Installation Art, this is the most impressive collection of renowned avant-garde installation pieces to-date. Only top-tier projects are featured, including biennale pieces from many different countries. Interior gallery and museum installations encourage poetic new ways of looking at enclosed space, while exterior projects on both large and small scales astound through their dramatic use of materials and reinvent the urban and rural built environment. Pink balloons are suspended in rows above the main thoroughfare of a major city, a prism of colored threads hung in the air makes an otherwise blas staircase magical, thin rays of light hover in space, a hole in a gallery wall reveals an entire hidden realm composed of layered ice blocks, while neoclassical arched windows pour transparent crystallized ice flows out onto marble floors. This book changes how we look at our everyday surroundings and their possibilities.
Iconism
Icons, pictograms, and symbols are an important part of how we communicate in our every day lives. Whether they're used for branding, interactive applications, or wayfinding signs, the designs must be informative and aesthetic. Iconism highlights the ingenuity of these symbols. The text is divided into four sections: Icon & Pictogram Collections, Visual Identity, Wayfinding, and Interaction Design.

Featuring sculptural carved book arts and installation art to avant-garde paper couture fashion, and examining the work of artists such as Jen Stark and Nikki McClure, this is an essential guide to one of the most fundamental, versatile but often overlook materials.
