It introduces key terms and theories that underlie design research; examines the importance of visual grammar and design literacy, audience, communication theory and semiotics; and features case studies that demonstrate how the use of research methods can form the basis of effective visual communication and design problem solving.

Experimental Layout
This is a study of contemporary experimental approaches to layout - the essence of graphic design. At the heart of Experimental Layout is the sheer breadth of the discipline of graphic design, its adjustments and accommodation, the innovators and their idiosyncrasies. The theories behind contemporary graphic design are explained by the authors in essays (æSpatial DynamicsÆ, æForm Follows ContentÆ and æWords and PicturesÆ) which provide insights into current debates and the context within which experimental designers work. Interviews with Mark Pawson, Peter Willberg and Ian Warner reveal the processes behind the work, the intentions and motivations. Ian Noble and Russell Bestley have selected work from around the world which they believe ôis united in its concern to try different and challenging approaches, not for the sake of being different but because it is grounded in differenceö. Diaries, magazines, exhibition catalogs and books are among the work included in Experimental Layout. Projects range from rarely-seen personal projects to large-scale commercial work. In each case, the work questions or extends the boundaries of graphic design.

Up Against the Wall
This book takes a timely overview of poster design, focusing on the experimental approaches of international designers, design groups and collectives such as Stefan Sagmeister, Ralph Schraivogel, David Tartakover, Leonardo Sonnoli, Pierre Bernard, Uwe Loesch, Koji Mizutani and Studio Boot. Supported by unique examples of work in progress, interviews and commentary from designers, Up Against The Wall takes the pulse of modern poster design, exploring the persuasive power of simplicity and directness and re-assessing the form in an age dominated by multi-media and the moving image. Issues of scale, location, sequence, image and type are all dealt with in this appreciation of the purest form of visual communication.
The Freedom of Submission
Ian Groden loves his life. He's happily married to the most wonderful man in the world. His career as the CEO of a thriving family business is right on track. He's got it all. Ian is a man with a secret, however. He appears in control, but in reality, he'd rather let go and put his longings and physical pleasure in the hands of another. Being a submissive is utterly tantalizing and allows Ian to live out his every sexual whim without reservation or guilt. Taren Murdoch is the man who fulfills Ian's needs. He's Ian's husband, Dom, and protector. It's Taren who doles out the pain Ian craves. There's another side to that coin and that is to ensure the pain is never too much for Ian. Taren turns Ian's pain into pleasure, a job that sometimes takes planning and creativity. Ian and Taren have taken a break from their everyday lives and are enjoying a trip where they can indulge in their fantasies. It's rare Ian has the freedom to spend day and night submitting to Taren. Will Taren be able to make sure he and Ian enjoy this dream vacation as much as they hope?

Picture Perfect
Illustration changed so much in the last decade of the 20th century that some maintain it shouldn't even be called illustration any more. In such a rich and fast-changing environment, Picture Perfect takes stock of the many forms in which illustration now appears, asks how the practice and the profession need to be reassessed, and presents the work of outstanding practitioners across the globe who speak the many visual languages that push illustration's boundaries. For those in the thick of the creative meltdown, for art directors looking to commission the bravest and most insightful work, and for anyone with a keen interest in contemporary visual culture, Picture Perfect is the much-needed marker for 21st-century illustration.
