The Complete Graphic Designer is that well-rounded course in graphic design. It is neither an instructional “how-to” book, nor will it feature a series of suggested curriculum or problems for designers or students to solve. Rather, this book will be a concise overview of the many facets of graphic design, such as communication theory and why it is important; various types of problems that designers confront on a daily basis; and the considerations that must be made when trying to solve those visual problems. In addition, it features prominent designers and design firms that are renown for work in a certain type of design.

The Pepin Press introduces a new series of packaging books – Structural Package Design – consisting of 4 new titles. Each volume is jam-packed with 100% structurally accurate, scalable packaging templates. All of the designs are tested, working models, ready for immediate use. Every design template is illustrated with a photograph of the final product and a 3-D structural drawing that clearly shows how the package is constructed – more complicated designs include intermediate steps in the folding or construction process.

Complex Packaging, the third title in this series, contains 200 designs which build on and expand the collection provided in the first two titles in the series.

All designs are stored in various formats on the CD that accompanies this book. The CDs also included a demo version of packaging software which folds and tests two-dimensional templates in 3-D.

Apart from their immediate practical use, these books are a great source of inspiration for graphic, product and packaging designers alike.

This volume from the practice-oriented Construction and Design Manual series shows 50 international signage and orientation systems.

The designers set themselves the task of creating functional and aesthetically challenging solutions for public and private areas. Identity- and image-conscious signage for cultural, transport and educational buildings are presented graphically and in great detail. The collection is supplemented by examples from the office and healthcare sectors. Informative essays also provide an insight into the theory of signage, while the appendix contains data to assist with technical understanding.

Commercial and trade show exhibits are more than merchandise showcases. A trade show exhibit must do more than provide an environment for the products’s presentation. The total design has to sell the brand and image of the exhibiting firm. Contemporary Exhibit Design No. 2 showcases over 80 different exhibits and 250+ color photos - the work of top exhibit designers from trade show venues across the U.S. Featured exhibits range is size from 300 sq. ft. to 45,000 sq. ft. The exhibits are representative of a plethora of industries. The reader will learn how these specialized designers have used signage, color, lights, animation and props to make their exhibits “show and sell.”

The primary skill needed by anyone who works in fashion is the ability to convey — to clients and the general public alike — images of the designs. The impression given to the viewer depends on whether the fashion design drawings are good. Contemporary Fashion Illustration Techniques thoroughly describes the basics of fashion illustration and covers the latest trends such as vivid images, sprightly movement, and garment material texture. After all, fashion drawing is not simply about sketching a body and face; only when you accurately reproduce the garments and their colors can the designs truly come to life.
