A unique collection of photographs by Brigitte Niedermair, celebrating her original, creative collaboration with the House of Dior.

Informed by her parallel paths as an artist and a photographer, Brigitte Niedermair expands the conventions and biases of the fashion image system. Her work focuses on representations of women’s bodies in art and culture, with deeply constructed images and striking compositions that make for a distinctive style.

This volume explores the remarkable relationship between Dior and Niedermair’s aesthetic, resulting in photographs radiating a strong sense of unconventional femininity. The first section is devoted to the collaboration throughout the recent years, followed by a portfolio of exclusive images of historical and iconic Christian Dior creations. Captured with an analogic, classical technique in a five-by-four-inch format — which was used during photography’s early beginnings — 42 pieces from Dior archives are photographed twice, with each version of the image offering a unique perspective and revealing hidden details, such as the construction of the designs. With the principal essay by Olivier Gabet and contributions by Dior’s creative director, Maria Grazia Chiuri, and artists and friends of Niedermair, this beautifully crafted book offers an extraordinary look into one of today’s most fascinating creatives.

The stories told with graphics and infographics are now being visualized through photography. Photoviz shows how these powerful images are depicting correlations, making the invisible visible, and revealing more detail than classic photojournalism.

Photoviz explores the intersection of photography, infographics, and data visualization. Combining cutting-edge technology and classic photographic techniques enables us to tell stories and visualize information more powerfully and compactly than ever: a full day of flights all at once, invisible Wi-Fi networks, global trade, intimate psychology, movement, time itself, and more.  The concept of Photoviz invites us to simultaneously reinvent our collective reality and demystify our surroundings.

Within this mesmerizing photographic world, striking images reveal the power of tools ranging from long exposure and slit-scan photography to post-processing, collage, and metadata. Photoviz is a source of inspiration and a crucial resource for designers and photographers alike.

Already renowned for his work on data visualization, editor Nicholas Felton examines the past and present realms of photographic visualization and points to innovative possibilities for the future. He is best known for his work on Facebook’s Timeline and his Felton Personal Annual Reports.

Picnic is the compliation of the best works from the new-wave of international artists, setting new directions in retro-inspired modernist and folkloric illustration. Their old-school methods of using silk-printed graphics, collage photocopying, engraving, hand-drawing, lettering and stencilling, lend the work a strong personality and originality, far removed from the more sterile, minimal cutting-edge design trends seen over the last decade. This refereshing work is a nod to the golden age of graphic design in the 50s and 60s in 20th century Europe.

This book recalls the techniques used by the grand maestros of design and illustration, Saul Bass, John Hubley (Mr.Magoo), Friz Felang (Pink Panther and legends of pop graphic design, Milton Glaser, Paul Rand and Edelman.

Detailed illustrations and photographs of over 300 exquisite lace samples and designs created over past 500 years. Delicate masterpieces depict human and mythical figures, filigree designs of hearts and flowers, beautiful floral and foliate motifs, and more.

Royalty-free designs from elegant borders, edgings, collars, doilies, much else.

Over 450 black-and-white photographs, royalty-free, show ironwork masterpieces from all over Europe — doors, gates, railings, grilles, door knockers, locks, lanterns, candelabra, firedogs, chandeliers, much more. Beautiful examples from Notre Dame; Chichester Cathedral; Barcelona Cathedral; Fredericksborg Castle, Denmark; Versailles; scores of other sites.

300 illustrations

Pictures and Words collects some of the most outstanding contemporary examples of pictorial storytelling. Celebrating illustration that stands on its own to tell a story rather than simply accompanying or adorning another medium, the book includes extracts from graphic novels, comic strips and books, as well as single-panel cartoons and drawings. Words are present in the form of character dialogue or narration, or sometimes a story emerges from a series of illustrated panels that contain no text at all. With or without words, this is a highly expressive medium, dealing with a vast range of subjects from political issues to the most complex of human emotions. Comics and graphic novels are currently enjoying huge popularity in mainstream culture. This timely book brings together work by 30 key artists from around the world, including Paul Davis, Benoît Jacques and Andrzej Klimowski.

Piero Fornasetti was a master of the decorative imagination. He employed illusionism, architectural perspectives and a host of personal leitmotifs - the sun, playing cards, still lifes, libraries, harlequins, newspapers, the face of a once-famous opera singer - in seemingly endless variations on plates, chairs, desks, screens, scarves, cabinets and decorative objects of every kind. As Gio Ponti, his friend and collaborator, said: 'he makes objects speak.'

Fornasetti's oeuvre is celebrated here in a publication that marks him out as a virtuoso conjurer of dream and illusion. Captured in paintings, drawings and photographs from the family and studio archives, Fornasetti's designs testify to a unique imaginative genius.

This series presents international architects and designer in monographies. Pierro Lissoni is one of Italy's most successful Designers, leading a company in Milan with over 50 Architects and Designers.  So far he is known more for his furniture design rather than his architecture. He is often thought of as a minimalist, but in reality, Piero Lissoni's aim is to create a complementary cohabitation of different styles. His highest goal is simplicity: as way of thinking, as an attitude, simplicity holds a great inner complexity. For Piero Lissoni it is always imperative to scale down and get to the bottom of things. Among his customers are renown companies such as Boffi and Matteograssi. The book introduces to a selection of his outstanding projects all around the world.

We are good at designing beautiful products and we offer good services. We always know exactly what the user wants and we know dozens of methodologies. However, if we have to convince our customers and colleagues, we find it rather difficult. For one reason or another, pitching ideas is one of the most undervalued practices in the creative field.

From convincing a colleague to opt for a certain methodology to persuading a customer to go for a certain concept, you can have the best ideas in the world, but if you are not able to bring them across, they will never become reality. In this book the author will take you inside of the heads of the people you have to convince.

Pitching Ideas will help you to find the essence of the idea you want to get across and will explain how you can really convince the right people in the end. "Pitching Ideas provides a bulletproof framework and approach to pitching for all aspects of your life, professional and private alike!" - Philip Battin, Design Strategy Lead at Google

Pixel Surgeons presents the very best of today's styling and illusion in fashion and lifestyle photography.

Fifty years ago fashion photography was perceived as the elitist preserve of glossy magazines across the world. Today it is part of the 21st-century lifestyle. Commuting to and from work, we are subjected to billboards and hoardings advertising well-known labels. It is now de rigueur for every tabloid to contain a fashion features page. Style magazines - for both men and women - dominate the heaving newsagent's shelves.

Media awareness and discriminating aesthetics have provoked a multi-layered language of fashion photography, and digital technology has introduced a level of image manipulation that has further enriched the genre. Today's photographic communicators offer personal visions that grab the viewer by the throat in their attempt to satisfy the market's craving for more and more imaginative imagery.

Martin Dawber presents the work of over 30 of the most exceptional new international practitioners of photography, styling, and digital manipulation, exploring their methods and influences.
