A fun and fabulous take on the art of making mistakes. Erik Kessels celebrates imperfection and failure and shows why they are an essential part of the creative process.

Failed it! celebrates the power of mistakes and shows how they can enrich the creative process. This is part photobook and part guide to loosening up and making mistakes to take the fear out of failure and encourage experimentation.

It showcases the best and most hilarious examples of imperfection and failure across a broad range of creative forms, including art, design, photography, architecture and product design, to inspire and encourage creatives to embrace and celebrate their mistakes.

We live in an era when everyone is striving for perfection and we have become afraid of failure, which limits our potential. Mistakes help us find new ways of thinking and innovative solutions, and failures can change our perceptions and open up new ways of looking things. This book transforms mistakes from something to be embarrassed about into a cause for celebration.

It includes over 150 visual examples drawn from Kessels personal collection of artworks and found photographs, along with tips, quotes, anecdotes and wisdom for celebrating with failure. To quote Kessels: "the ubiquity of Apple + Z, means that we can literally undo any mistake before it has had time to breathe, be considered and — perhaps — evolve into something else: a fascinating, strange, provocative or even original piece of work. This book asks readers to embrace their fuck-ups, learn from them and celebrate their tawdry glory".

The employed means today go further than architectural eye-catcher, but also include elements that appeal to all senses, such as digital installations. Endless creative solutions of architecture, light and sound element blend together to create a spectacular fair presence in a way that leaves a lasting impression among visitors.

This is a book to be cherished by everyone with an interest in society, collecting and the very best of jewelry art. The authors, both international jewelry experts, not only offer a rare opportunity to view a fabulous treasure trove of jewels, but also reveal the stories behind the jewels and their collectors.

For many centuries the collecting of precious gems and the jewelry fashioned from them was the exclusive prerogative of kings and queens, emperors, popes and maharajahs. But in the last hundred years movie goddesses, opera singers, industrialists and rock stars have joined those with the means to deck themselves in glittering bracelets, necklaces and earrings.

Most of what we know about the jewelry collections of recent times has been revealed through the auctions that have taken place after the collectors’ deaths. The famous sale of 1987 uncovered the full extent of the dazzling designs which belonged to the Duchess of Windsor. By the same token, as this book so handsomely shows, the collections of such society women as Daisy Fellowes, Mona Bismarck and Barbara Hutton can now be appreciated and described in detail. And among the royals and aristocrats are HRH the Princess Royal (Princess Mary) of Great Britain and the noble German family of Thurn und Taxis; from the world of film and entertainment stars like Merle Oberon, Joan Crawford and Ava Gardner.

The pictures can also be used to produce postcards, or to decorate your letters, flyers, etc. They can be imported directly from the CD into most design, image-manipulation, illustration, word-processing and e-mail programs; no installation is required.

Пристрастие к фантастическим эффектам берет свое начало в духе и искусстве античных времен. Горгоны, циклопы и сатиры были первыми фантастическими существами античного искусства и мифологии.

В эпоху Ренессанса возродился интерес к воображаемому и сверхъестественному, который подогревался археологическими открытиями в Риме. Страстный любитель искусства Вазари выражал свое восхищение при виде Лоджий Ватикана с росписями Рафаэля, "гипсовых изваяний, окруженных живописными орнаментами гротесков в античном стиле, с их непередаваемыми фантазиями и изобилием разнообразных, не поддающихся описанию вещей". Зарождается искусство гротеска с его демонами, чудовищами и нереальными существами - полулюдьми, полуживотными - Горгонами, масками и сиренами в самом центре архитектурного декора.

В тот же период чудовища, созданные фантазией Альбрехта Дюрера, верного традициям готического стиля, Иеронима Босха и Брейгеля, стали встречаться и в работах мастеров Северной Европы. Изначально некая часть христианской иконографии, дьяволы и ангелы - будь то ангелы-хранители или злые духи - появлялись в фантастических работах мастеров стран Северной Европы, к которым также можно было причислить безумцев и проклятых, осужденных гореть в аду.

Магия, алхимия и колдовство завершают темную сторону этих образов.

В 18-м веке стал развиваться театральный стиль с его многочисленными разнообразными орнаментами, необычными по своей форме. Культ сверхъестественного проявился в "тайном" стиле с его завихряющимися, зооморфными формами.
И, наконец, еще один совершенно иной причудливый стиль был создан в 19-м веке такими художниками, как Гюстав Дорэ и Гранвилль, которые одушевляли животных и культивировали мир Франсуа Рабле.

Данная энциклопедия предлагает вашему вниманию изображения, одновременно необычные, удивительные, занимательные и заставляющие задуматься.

Following the highly successful Fantasy Workshop, the ImagineFX team is back with the ultimate guide for digital and fantasy artists who want to take their skills out of this world.

Referencing such programs as Photoshop, Illustrator, and Corel Painter, Fantasy Creatures explains how to go from basic “pencil” roughs to first-stage line art to finished color art.

Step-by-step instruction and screen grabs show artists how they can use the latest techniques to create a variety of mythical and futuristic creatures, fight scenes, habitats, and close-ups.

Fashion and music have long shared a powerful mutual attraction: from the Sex Pistols to Madonna, Kylie Minogue to Lady Gaga, fashion has consistently amplified our understanding of the band (and in many cases the brand) – fuelling the fantasy, giving context to the sound and adding depth to artists’ wider agendas.

From pop videos to editorial shoots, via the evolution of some of the industry’s most significant and era-defining pairings/collaborations, this book focuses on the power of fashion as a make-or-break tool within the music industry’s creative process – making it an essential reference point for anyone interested in fashion’s role as a medium with which to innovate, communicate and build enduring brands.
