An essential foundation course for graphic designers working in digital media, print and moving image.

Regularly revised and in print for over twenty years, this practical resource for students is used in graphic design classes in Europe, the UK and the USA.

The second section closes with an overview of some of the different career choices open to students entering the graphic design field.

The book is organized into two main sections, ‘principles’ and ‘practice’. The first section deals with the fundamentals of design, such as composition, hierarchy, layout, typography, grid structure, colour and so on.

New to this edition are two articles, one on User Experience Design (UX) and User Interface Design (UI), and one on Motion Graphics.

Packed with practical guidance on all areas of graphic design – from understanding the basics to devising an original concept and creating successful finished designs - Graphic Design School is a must-have book for anyone starting in graphic design.

Following its first bestselling predecessor, Graphic Fest 2 continues its legacy with a brand new selection of visual identities that appeal to the right audiences with the same vigour and sensations.

As the world slowly opens up after years of the pandemic, previously cancelled or postponed festivals and fairs are springing back to life with a new wave of creativity and energy, while organisers and designers are tasked with enhancing the event’s overall experience and atmosphere after people have spent so much time in isolation.

Ranging from logos, typography, to systematic approaches and environmental settings, the series continues with a fresh bout of inspiration to create attractive and memorable events or festivals.

What comes to mind when you think of graphite? Is it the stains that stay on your fingers, or the beautiful gradients that can result from simply playing with pressure? Through skilfully applied smudges and smears, the humble pencil is capable of expressing minute details and textures in myriad shades of grey, creating layered universes that draw viewers into their folds.

From the fine and crisp work produced with an H-grade to the fuzzier, ink-like impressions by the B end, Graphite collates some of the most stunning, hand-drawn contemporary pencil art across the lead spectrum, along with exclusive interviews with renowned pencil artists Amandine Urruty, Armando Veve, and Dukhoon Gim. Step into an enigmatic world of monochrome chronicling a unique perspective or story on every page, brought to life by 28 artists and illustrators from around the globe.

This book is suitable for those who work with automated text and image design. It shows examples of working correctly on a conceptual level. Exact directions for using all of the grid systems presented (8 to 32 grid fields) are given to the user. These can be used for the most varied of projects. The three-dimensional grid is treated as well. Put simply: a guidebook from the profession for the profession.

The development of organisational systems in visual communication was the service and the accomplishment of the representatives of simple and functional typography and graphic design. In the 1920s in Europe, works already arose in the areas of typography, graphic design and photography with objectified conception and rigid composition. In 1961 a brief presentation of the grid with text and illustrations appeared for the first time in an earlier book by the author. Articles published mainly in trade journals then followed.

This book now attempts to close a gap by giving examples and exact directions to the professional concerning all grid problems that can occur.

The author, a world-renowned professional, thus offers his colleagues the tools to solve problems more easily.

This is the first art collection by the young Canadian artist/illustrator Koyamori (also known as Maruti_Bitamin). Over the past five years, she has gained attention through regularly sharing her fascinating illustrations on her Instagram, Tumblr and Twitter accounts. This work has been collected in grow and accompanied by a selection of specially created new illustrations.

Using mostly watercolor ink, Koyamori's highly imaginative but intimate illustrations incorporate colorful natural elements such as plants, creatures, water and stars, and also feature super-cute manga-inspired characters. A reversible dust jacket includes the cover from the Japanese edition on the reverse side. Both covers are new illustrations exclusively drawn for this long-awaited book.

About the Author:

Koyamori is an Asian-Canadian watercolor painter who also focuses on illustration and design. Her work often features nature and nostalgic elements, stemming from a background in biology and a childhood in Asia. She attempts to create a sense of peace and comfort through these still images.
