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.
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.
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.
Rockers
Set amongst the reggae scene of late 70s Jamaica, Rockers achieved instant cult status among music and cinema fans. Director Ted Bafaloukos has received many accolades for his work on the film, but the fact that he was also a fine writer and photographer is often overlooked. In We Are Rockers, his experiences in Jamaica and New York between 1975 and 1978 are paired with an invaluable collection of photographs taken during the writing and production of the film. Beyond reggae circles, this anthology offers an unparalleled snapshot of Jamaican cool.
Skullture
"The image of the human skull is a universal icon, common throughout human civilization since time immemorial. "Skullture" takes a comprehensive approach to portraying how the image manifests in contemporary art, design and popular culture. This analysis includes visual and conceptual considerations of the skull throughout history, connecting the dots between Aztec religious iconography, Punk Rock and eighteenth century funerary practices without ever losing sight of the fact that, while fashion my change, the skull remains the same. "Skullture" presents diverse aesthetic uses of the skull as well as its various cultural resonances throughout all disciplines of art and design."--Back cover.
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.
Cork
After exploring the life cycle of cork, and describing the refining techniques for use in industry and craftsmanship, the authors offer many examples of applications of cork in art, fashion, inte^rior design and decoration. This book supplies an astonishing overview about the recent trends in using an old natural material in many new ways in our daily life and give worthwhile insights in various production pro^cesses.
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.
Infinite Pattern
Pattern recognition is one of the earliest skills taught in elementary school--both how to recognize patterns as the occur and how to predict their occurrence. Designers regularly make use of patterns to produce graphics for their clients that are at once appealing, recognizable and brand worthy. Utilizing everything from photography, geometry and typography to vintage and animal prints, a wide array of motifs is possible. Infinite Pattern includes a variety of stunning examples produced for annual reports, bags, business cards, clothing, invitations, menus, packaging, walls and more.
