Once dismissed as the cosy world of teddy bears and fairies, children's book illustration has been transformed by the arrival on the scene of numerous highly original and contemporary graphic artists in recent years. Children now grow up with a more informed and sophisticated visual diet - cartoons, animated movies, comics, TV and computer games - consuming a vast range of stylistic approaches, and illustrated books have moved to match the demands of a more discerning market. Equally, artists who in the past may not have considered the children's picture book as an appropriate vehicle for artistic expression are increasingly drawn to this area. This book showcases some of the most interesting work emerging within the genre from a range of cultural backgrounds. It examines trends in the use of media - both digital and traditional - and discusses the variety of approaches to subject matter.

From crowded dance halls to smoky cabarets, this vibrant collection of posters from the Belle Époque explores the birth, development, and continued popularity of a graphic genre.

Thanks to innovations in color lithography, the streets of fin-de-siècle Paris were punctuated with brightly hued posters featuring bold typography and playful imagery. Many of these posters were torn down almost as soon as they were pastedup, finding their way into private homes and, eventually, museums and collections all over the world. Although many artists contributed to the affichomanie, or “poster craze,” one of the most famous among them was Henri de Toulouse- Lautrec. This gorgeous book offers exquisite reproductions of more than one hundred posters, including those by Lautrec and his contemporaries Bonnard, Picasso, Chéret and Mucha. Advertising everything from tony theater productions to the licentious cancan, bicycles to biscuits, these posters range from cheerfully exuberant to slyly decadent. In her essay, Mary Weaver Chapin captures the voices of the artists, collectors, and critics who fueled the poster craze of the 1890s. The result is a visual spectacle, a lively discourse on the value and purpose of art, and a celebration of a historically and creatively dynamic era.

Otomo Katsuhiro is one of the most respected and influential Japanese artists/storytellers in the history of modern comics.

He has also worked extensively in animations; from his own, a hugely successful adaptation of his epic manga, Akira, which is widely considered to be a pinnacle of the form - a work of astonishing power and visionary scope, with unsurpassed artistry.

This book, as the second title published by PIE International, exclusively features more than 150 Posters all of which use Otomo's great illustration works. In addition, all posters are finely finished by professional graphic designers, so this title presents a variety of great hybrid works of Otomo's illustrations and professional graphic design works.

Roughly half of the inclusive works are the posters of his movies such as Akira, STEAM BOY, SHORT PEACE and so on, while the rest of the works are consist of various advertisements: are Kichijoji (Department Store), Geopolice (an indoor amusement park in Tokyo) or BRUTUS (Japanese Magazine).

A special bilingual (Japanese/ English) interview with Otomo and a graphic designer will also be included in the last 6 pages

From the birth of clothing to modern menswear, this work reveals fashions role in monarchies, military regimes, dictatorships, and the birth of democracy.

From the advent of the first civilizations along the Euphrates, Indus, and Nile Rivers, as well as in China, clothing has not only offered protection from the elements, but has served as an expression of political power and its allocation throughout society.

From tribes to royalty, dictatorships to democracies, ones manner of dressing reveals as much about a societys structures as about the different identities and communities that it encompasses.

From ceremonial dress to fur coats, tribal paint, feather headdresses, or even grass skirts, finery conveys the power of its wearer. While so-called naked societies use ocher, feathers, Tapa cloth, or shells to demonstrate social standing, elsewhere gold, pearls, and other precious materials may be used to show an individuals importance. By studying the evolution of costume throughout history, we gain insight into the changes at the heart of communities, from East to West, via the first peoples of Africa and the Amazon basin.

The desire to dazzle and differentiate oneself via excessive luxury and adornment, or conversely the wish to conform, ones regalia says as much about an individual as about the society in which they live as leader, king, or ruler.

This volume covers the vast spectrum of regalia and the powerful figures who have worn it throughout the ages.

From the ceremonial robes of Chinese emperors, to the painted Nubas in Africa, via the trends of different European courts that gave rise to the modern male suit, the social aspects of clothing are explained in detail in this richly illustrated volume.
