Bibliographic: 100 Classic Graphic Design Books is a unique compilation of the best design books of the last 100 years. It covers a huge range of material – historic titles from pioneering type foundries to the best of recent monographs from today’s leading studios – and provides an essential insight into the evolution of graphic design in the twentieth century. Classic graphic design manuals by László Moholy-Nagy and Josef Müller-Brockmann are included, alongside pioneering instructional titles on advertising and corporate identity. Monographs designed by and covering the major individuals and studios of the era – from A.M. Cassandre and Alexey Brodovitch to Stefan Sagmeister and Peter Saville – are detailed, along with groundbreaking anthologies on trademark design, Polish film posters, the impact of the avant-garde, and more. All the books, whether classic histories of Bauhaus design or rarely seen sourcebooks of symbols and type, are illustrated with a wide selection of spreads and covers, all in color. In addition, leading international designers have provided lists of favorite titles from their own libraries.

Jason Godfrey, director of Godfrey Design, London, studied at the Royal College of Art before pursuing a career in print and digital media in London, New York, and Austin, Texas. His work has been shown in the annuals of D&AD and the New York Type Directors Club.

Packaging today needs to do so much more than preserving, protecting, and promoting the products it contains. The rise of environmental issues and globalization mean that today’s packaging designers must create innovative solutions that are also sustainable. This book shows how packaging design has changed to meet the demands of this new context. It takes the reader behind some of the world’s best-known brands to meet the designers, clients, marketers, technologists, environmentalists, and retailers, to tell their stories about the development of some of the most remarkable packs of our time. Showcasing the best packaging design from around the world, and presented through new color photography, the book also features in-depth case studies of some of the most innovative design processes with interviews and illustrated details.

Janice Kirkpatrick is a graphic designer and founding director of international design consultancy Graven Images. A writer, broadcaster, and lecturer, she has also curated several exhibitions including “The Good Buy Girl” for the Design Museum, London, and “UK Style” and “UK PackAge” for the British Council.

This book is a highly informative, highly entertaining introduction to what art direction is and what art directors do. Written by two of the world’s leading experts on the subject, it covers the role of art director in numerous environments, including magazines and newspapers, advertising, corporate identity, museums, and publishing. It also provides an insight into what makes a successful art director, what an art director actually does all day, what makes things go right, and what makes things go wrong. Alongside perspectives on typography, illustration, and photography, there are case studies of successful art direction in different spheres, from McSweeney’s to Vier5’s web design. The authors have also invited pre-eminent international art directors to interpret their roles in special sections of the book that they have art directed themselves. The result is an impressive, enlightening, and often very funny diversity of perspectives and approaches. Clearly written, including a glossary of handy art director sayings, an “art director test,” and more, Art Direction Explained, At Last! will provide students with insights into the world of art direction and professionals with a perceptive overview of their profession.

Steven Heller is co-chair of the Designer as Author program and co-founder of the Design Criticism program at SVA, New York. For 33 years he was an art director at the New York Times. He is editor of AIGA VOICE, contributing editor to Print, Eye, Baseline, and I.D., and author of 120 books on design.

Indie artists, designers and illustrators are doing it for themselves! Tough times often lead to greater creativity and entrepreneurial spirit. Where once designers might have produced a set of postcards to promote themselves or simply for fun, demand for individual design has led to an explosion of quirky and covetable products for sale via the Internet. Self-initiated projects, such as T-shirts or button designs, are fast becoming businesses in themselves. This book showcases over 500 of the cutest and most exciting graphic products by over 90 practitioners from around the world, including: books, magazines and zines; toys; posters, prints and canvases; fonts and typographic 3D products; clothing; and accessories.

From Hollywood blockbuster to striving independent filmmaker, from mobile phone games to characters advertising products on television, from pseudo live action through to virtual environments, animation is able to transcend boundaries to new audiences.

Animation in Process is not only a creative showcase exposing the best talent in the field today, but an in-depth exploration of working methods and processes behind the highly polished features they create, with previously unseen material such as sketches, working drawings, storyboards, and other work-in-progress that documents the animators’ craft.

Andrew Selby is an award-winning illustrator and Program Leader for the Visual Communication disciplines at Loughborough University, covering the areas of illustration, graphic communication, and animation.

A rich, comprehensive collection of images covering the revolution in menswear over the last 100 years with text by fashion historian Cally Blackman. Rare photography and illustrations reveal the elegant tailoring of Savile Row and tough khaki and denim of the uniform and workplace giving way to an exuberant array of styles and colors as the century progresses. Packed with images of Hollywood style icons, the artist personalities of the 1930s, and more, the evolution of menswear from practical to peacock is explored in an array of rarely seen photographs and illustrations. The impact of Pierre Cardin, Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren, and other designers is contrasted with the street fashion of the 1960s, punk, and the club scene to bring together the story of the flourishing menswear market in one invaluable book. A unique collection, 100 Years of Menswear will prove indispensable for all fashion students, historians of dress, and lovers of men’s clothes.

Cally Blackman is a writer and lecturer with degrees in Fashion Design and History of Art, and an MA in History of Dress from the Courtauld Institute of Art, London. She teaches on the BA Fashion History and Theory course at Central Saint Martins College. Her previous publications include 100 Years of Fashion Illustration (Laurence King) 2007), Costume: From 1500 to the Present Day (2003), and The 20s and 30s: Flappers and Vamps (2000).

This is the first book to embrace the whole of the UK and its creative influence on international fashion. It is aimed at industry professionals, students, and anyone with an interest in fashion. Both inspirational and informative, it will also appeal as a coffee-table book, being visually inspiring and modern. The UK is a creative and cultural melting pot for international designers to develop their creative identity. London Fashion Week is renowned for showing an edgier breed of fashion designer, and for celebrating cutting-edge couture that pushes the boundaries of convention. This book focuses on the British designers since 2000 who have made their influence resonate globally: designers such as Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen, Hussein Chalayan, Vivienne Westwood, John Galliano, Julien Macdonald, Giles Deacon, Matthew Williamson, and Paul Smith. Each chapter is devoted to one designer and defines visually how Britishness informs their work, showing final collections, process work, and studio space. Text in the form of questions and answers or running text illustrates each designer’s British influence and distinct style.

Hywel Davies lectures at Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design, London College of Fashion, and Ravensbourne College of Communication. Previously Fashion Editor of Sleazenation, he has also written for Arena, Vogue, ELLE, Wallpaper*, Nylon, and Dazed & Confused.

In the huge and ever growing accessories market, handbags have evolved into unique design pieces – status symbols that many aspire to own. In the last ten years the trend for “it” bags, first initiated by Hermès in the 1950s with the Kelly bag, has taken off, making the luxury goods market extremely lucrative. Certain bag styles have achieved iconic status and are copied the world over, each with its own instantly recognizable name. Featuring handbags from well-known fashion designers as well as up-and-coming new talent, this book showcases the most exciting and innovative handbag designers from across the globe, including Chanel, Philip Lim, Chloe, Dolce & Gabbana, and Marc Jacobs.

Fixed-gear cycling has today become the coolest form of urban transport, giving rise to a global fixed-gear culture. Fixed is the first book to document fixed-gear cycling. The authors have traveled to cities around the world to examine at first hand the intersections between the fixed-gear bike’s design and its racing heritage, and the street style and customization that are at the heart of its current popularity. Interviews with sports-people, frame-builders, and those at the nexus of design, art, and fixed-gear culture give an insight into fixed-wheel design, philosophy, and riding experience. The book will appeal to cyclists – fixed-gear riders, urban riders, racers, and those interested in cycling heritage – as well as to a wider design audience.

Andrew Edwards is a graphic designer who has also worked in furniture and industrial design, as well as making documentaries. He is a keen amateur cyclist/racer and a member of Brighton Mitre cycling club. He has a degree in Product Design from Brighton University, East Sussex. Max Leonard has been a freelance writer for four years, and an increasingly dedicated cyclist for about the same length of time. He has written for magazines such as Straight No Chaser and Time Out.

Studio Culture:How to start, run & manage a graphic design studioInterviews with designers

Editors: Tony Brook and Adrian ShaughnessyDesigned by Spin

It’s a rare graphic designer who hasn’t contemplated setting up his or her own studio. It’s part of a designer’s DNA to want to own and run a studio. Many do, while others spend a lifetime wondering if they should. But where does the ambitious designer go for advice and guidance?

Who better than the founders of some of the best design studios in the world?

Tony Brook and Adrian Shaughnessy conduct penetrating interviews with a group of visionary graphic designers who have formed and run landmark international design studios.

Tony Brook works at the coalface of modern visual communication, producing sharp, highly disciplined, zeitgeisty work in print and electronic media. Yet he is firmly rooted in the grand tradition of graphic design, with a profound respect for and knowledge of graphic design’s history.

In partnership with his wife Patricia Finegan, Brook has run Spin since 19XX. Starting from modest beginnings in the spare room of the couples’ flat, the studio grew rapidly, employing XX people in the late 1990s. Brook and Finegan run a studio that produces distinctive and groundbreaking work for a rich mix of clients, while at the same time, producing ambitious self-initiated publishing projects that define the studio’s culture of excellence and its respect for the art and tradition of graphic design. Working with a broad range of clients Spin is now one of the most respected studios in Europe.

What prompted you to start your own studio?

I was working at a studio that had no real design pedigree. I’d gone there for the money, which was a big mistake and I was, naturally, unhappy. I started thinking about what my next move might be. I was bringing in a lot of new business for the studio, a very different situation to working on existing clients, and this was really the deciding factor. It’s not a big leap from “I got you clients” to “I can get my own clients”. Even though this was happening in the middle of a recession, it felt right. Another motivating factor was that after 10 years working almost solely for the record industry, I was ready for a new challenge. Once my wife Patricia and I made the decision to set up a studio, I couldn’t wait to get on with it. I remember being quite confident and unafraid.

It’s interesting that you were winning clients even while a studio employee. Most people don’t get this experience until they set up on their own. Was this a good grounding for the future?

Definitely, it helped enormously. Most employers are delighted to hear one of their staff has ideas about new clients or contacts that might lead to new work. Making business is a buzz whether you are working for someone or not, setting-up is certainly an easier step to make if you have had a taste of it.

Did you have a vision of how you wanted your studio to be?

In the early years I just wanted to survive. This meant putting up with a lot of stuff I’d rather not have put up with. It was a hard slog. But after the first three years, I stopped being quite so grateful. We resigned a lot of our more painful clients and set off on our current course. We didn’t start off as the

Tattoos and tattoo culture have gone mainstream in the last few years, with popular TV shows such as LA Ink, Miami Ink, and London Ink making celebrities out of tattooists and their clients. Highly skilled artists, many tattooists have moved beyond the artwork they draw on skin to create personal work on canvas. Art by Tattooists is the first book to showcase this art. The book features twenty-six international artists who use a variety of mediums, from ink, watercolor, acrylic paint, and oil to lino printing, painting on wood and board, and even examples of tattoo-style street art and skateboard graphics. Many of the artists are heavily influenced by the imagery they use as tattooists – roses, hearts, skulls, scrolls, birds, pin-ups, etc. – and carry this into their personal work. Other work features colors, themes, or subject matter that is more subtly related to tattoo styles. Given the current popularity of all things tattoo-related, the book will have a wide appeal, not only to anyone interested in tattoo art and culture but also to artists, illustrators, designers, and students.

Jo Waterhouse is a freelance writer interested in many areas of art, including lowbrow, street, skateboarding, and tattoo art. She is the author of Concrete to Canvas: Skateboarders’ Art (2005) and Concrete 2 Canvas: More Skateboarders’ Art (2007) and regularly contributes to several websites and art magazines, interviewing a variety of international artists.

Art historical theory is a forum of intense, often passionate debate. This book provides the art history student with an introduction to the range of theoretical perspectives used in looking at and analyzing art. It covers a broad range of approaches, presenting individual arguments, controversies, and divergent perspectives. The book begins by introducing the concept of theory and explains why it is important to the practice of art history. Each of the six chapters that form the core of the book presents a group of related approaches that are then discussed in turn and applied to one or more works of art. The book ends with some practical ideas about writing theory-based art history essays.

Anne D’Alleva is Assistant Professor of Art History and Women’s Studies at the University of Connecticut. She is the author of Art of the Pacific and Look! The Fundamentals of Art History.

What kind of architecture emerges in an extreme environment? Responding to some of the ultimate challenges in architecture, the buildings featured in this book provide valuable insight into the extremes of architectural thinking. In an increasingly unstable world, some of the lessons that they teach about self-sufficiency may yet become more generally applicable. Lessons from terrestrial environments are being used in designs for space, while space technology is also being applied on earth. Divided into five chapters– Hot, Cold, High, Wet, and Space– Extreme Architecture showcases 45 examples of recent buildings designed for challenging environments. It includes a desert refuge in southern Arizona, a floating marine research center, an underground seed vault in northern Norway, and a South Pole research station. Each case study begins with a clearly presented table listing the altitude, annual rainfall, and average temperatures of the site. This information is accompanied by photographs showing the project in its environment, as well as by drawings, site plans, and computer renderings where appropriate.

The limitations of a tiny space, rather than inhibiting designers, often result in some of the most innovative and exciting retail design. While small shops offer the chance for famous designers to experiment and showcase their skills for the retailers who can afford them, other independent retailers will be competing for the same customers and looking for ideas to implement on their own. This book brings together some of the best recent, innovative examples of small store designs from around the world. All the shops measure less than 1,600 square feet (many much less), and are grouped by size, with explanations and tips from their designers. Types of outlet featured include fashion, accessories, opticians, technology, food, and confectionery. The book is divided into three sections: small shops, smaller shops, and tiny shops. Each section begins with an interview with a designer of a small shop, explaining the creative opportunities and difficulties in greater detail. This book will be inspirational for retail designers and small shop owners looking to create their own big statement in a small space.

The eighteenth century was a period of great inventiveness and originality in French decorative arts and interior decoration. This book discusses in detail the creation and contents of the interiors of French aristocrats and financiers, including some that have never been photographed before. Using contemporary inventories, letters, and journals it brings to life the tastes and preoccupations of their creators – the Royal family, the aristocracy, the fashionable tourists, and the nouveaux riches, as well as the dealers and craftsmen who worked for them, the artists, designers and architects. In addition, it explores the wider context of the different styles of decoration, the effect upon them of changes in etiquette and social behavior, and the effect they had in turn upon the function and arrangement of rooms within the French interior.

John Whitehead is a frequent exhibitor at international art and antiques fairs, and serves on the committee of the French Porcelain Society.He is a well-known authority on eighteenth-century decorative arts and interior decoration, and has previously written, with Dr Oliver Impey, on the use of Japanese lacquer on French furniture, and with Sir Francis Watson on the porcelain collection of the Grand Dauphin.

Until the early 1990s the southern and eastern towns of Yemen were extremely difficult to access. The result of nearly two decades of research, this is the first book to offer an in-depth investigation into the characteristic architecture of the region. The author’s first hand research provides detailed insights into building techniques and methods, though still practised, are little known outside the area. Refreshingly, the book moves out of the more familiar major cities into the hinterlands and explores regions that could be said to be the last strongholds of traditional Arab architecture. The author was allowed to visit locations and sites that had previously been closed to architectural historians. As a result of this privileged access, the text and images combine to convey unique insights and viewpoints: those of the master builders and house owners who actually create and inhabit the buildings.
