An insightful look at the work, mindset, and methodology of the global branding and design agency headed by Monocle founder Tyler Brûlé. 

Winkreative is the global design, brand identity, and consulting agency of Tyler Brûlé, the founder of Wallpaper* magazine and Monocle. 

Winkreative Design Stories is a journey through the history of this agency, which in only a short time has established itself as one of the most sought-after addresses for corporate design and branding in the world. Highlighting a selection of projects from relaunching national carrier Swiss International Air Lines to rebranding Thailand as a magnet for international business, the book spans several continents and an impressive roster of premium clients. 

Divided into the core themes of Charm, Craft, Intelligence, Clarity, and Storytelling, each chapter of the book showcases a set of projects sharing that characteristic, alongside short, conversational pieces, which offer insight into the thinking and skill behind Winkreative s huge diversity of work, revealing the culture of the agency itself. Still, life photography displays Winkreative s unique perspective and distinctive aesthetic sensibility, while comic illustrations and reportage shoots inject a sense of playfulness and bring Winkreative s history and people to life. 

Winkreative Design Stories is a warm, understated reference book produced with outstanding production quality. Because there have been few published documentations of the agency s work in the past, this design treatise provides a unique perspective at the intersection of craft and commerce for design influencers and creatives, and business figures and policymakers alike. Winkreative is distinguished by its international focus, editorial authority, and unique, interdisciplinary approach to branding. 

With 50 multilingual staff, it serves more than 40 clients in 15-plus countries, all of which are united by premium positions in their respective markets. Founded by Tyler Brûlé in 1998, Winkreative continues to evolve as a unique, multidisciplinary global agency, focused on translating real-world business plans into creative brand expressions.

With chokers, brooches, delicate chains, rings, earrings, bangles, and more, Wire and Bead Celtic Jewelry offers something for everyone.

Every piece is inspired by Celtic design, from a Celtic harp brooch and Lindisfarne choker, to lariats and bracelets echoing the forms of animals and elements of nature.

Photographer, art director and fashion enthusiast Giuseppe Santamaria takes us to the streets of six incredible cities to showcase the unique and stylish women that inhabit these towns.

From classic elegance to menswear-inspired casual, a woman s dress style speaks volumes about her personality and the city she inhabits.

Featuring interviews with the everyday women whose distinctive styles cut a fine figure in the world of women s fashion, this striking photographic collection will take you on a global sartorial adventure.

One of the most extensive pictorial collections of its kind, this volume of 700 full-color illustrations provides an authentic and fascinating glimpse of what fashionable women were wearing more than 2,000 years ago.
Like many of today's young ladies, fashionably dressed women of ancient Egypt favored pointed sandals and dresses of transparent materials. Off-the-shoulder gowns were popular, as was costume jewelry. Assyrian females liked fringed accents on their tunics and gowns, while Greek and Roman ladies of fashion were partial to loose robes that frequently revealed upper and lower limbs. Head coverings from helmets and shawls to wide-brimmed hats were de rigueur. Organized according to region--Egyptian, Assyrian, Greek, Roman, and Greco-Roman--the finely detailed drawings are accompanied by brief identifying captions.
A valuable reference for costume historians and designers, this extensive pictorial collection will delight fashion enthusiasts as well.
Republication of the New York, 1926-27 edition.

WOOSH! is a collection of personal spaceship sketches created by entertainment designer Lorin Wood as he decompressed on his couch after a long day at work. While “analog” in its execution, there’s nothing dated about his vision of the future. His detailed ships will have you dreaming of space exploration with every line and brushstroke. And artists, hobbyists, and anyone who enjoys sketching will also appreciate Wood’s tips on what traditional tools to use and how to render.

About the Author:

Lorin Wood was raised in an extraordinarily creative home with family members who encouraged him to pursue the visual arts from his earliest years. His love of illustration and design was refined by copying his father's industrial design portfolio and getting a healthy dose of the work of Syd Mead, Joe Johnston, and Ralph McQuarrie, among others. Wood s passion for spaceships and robots led to a career as a conceptual designer that has spanned nearly two decades, working across multiple facets within the entertainment industry from animation, visual effects, and previsualization, to product and installation design. Some of his film credits include 2008 s The Day the Earth Stood Still for 20th Century Fox under legendary visual effects supervisor Jeffrey Okun, 2006 s A Scanner Darkly by Richard Linklater for Warner Independent Pictures, and Unique, a film pitch with David Goyer at the Walt Disney Company. He also contributed to the video game Aliens: Colonial Marines for Sega and the popular Borderlands franchise at Gearbox Software, where he created the game s muse robot, Claptrap. Lorin Wood is the founder of the popular blog Nuthin But Mech, which is also a popular book series featuring mech designs by some of the world s top concept artists and designers working in the industry today."

World Graphic Design is the first-ever survey of contemporary graphic design and designers outside the United Kingdom, mainland Europe, North America and Australasia. Organized into four main geographical regions or cultural zones – Africa, the Far East, Latin America and the Middle East – and then alphabetically by country and designer/studio within each zone, it focuses on the work being carried out today within the most popular genres of graphic design: posters, book and album covers, packaging and promotion. As graphic design in the developed world becomes increasingly focused on the same small pantheon of designers and the same canonical approaches, World Graphic Design seeks to expose it to the energy, vitality and diversity of a vast body of work that has long co-existed alongside it, but that has hitherto been all but ignored. It is a deliberate attempt to do for graphic design what has been achieved for world music.

With an informative critical profile and full contact details of each designer and studio, and more than a dozen illustrated examples of their recent output, World Graphic Design is a ground-breaking survey and an essential reference for anyone involved in graphic design worldwide.

- Aims to do for world graphic design what has already been achieved for world music
- The first publication to showcase the richness and variety of graphic design outside the Western tradition
- Includes features on individual designers and studios

In this new series we're presenting contemporary graphic design from different parts of the world. Even though during the last decades globalization seems to have resulted in the different cultures and societies moving closer together, and although communication and cultural exchange has increased, many regional designs still retain distinctive characteristics that reflect their origin.
The third volume of the series is dedicated to an entire continent: Asia. The selected designs originate from regions all over the continent, from Israel in the west to Japan in the far east. They represent an enormous diversity of styles, scripts, forms and visual languages. Recurring motivs are floral images and ornaments, while architecture – a dominating element in so many European designs – is almost absent. Nature, faces, script and myth play an important part in many works. It's a fascinating visual journey!

In dieser neuen Buchreihe präsentieren wir zeitgenössisches Grafik-Design aus den verschiedenen Teilen der Welt. Auch wenn sich die verschiedenen Kulturen und Gesellschaften während der letzten Jahrzehnte einander deutlich angenähert haben und der gegenseitige Austausch zugenommen hat, zeugen die grafischen Arbeiten der verschiedenen Länder und Regionen dennoch deutlich von regionalen Eigenheiten, Vorlieben und Interessen. Nicht selten entsteht eine reizvolle Verbindung aus internationalen und regionalen Elementen. Der dritte Band der Reihe widmet sich nun dem Grafikdesign eines ganzen Kontinents: Asien. Und tatsächlich spannen die ausgewählten Entwürfe den weiten Bogen vom Westen des Kontinents (Israel) bis hin zum fernen Osten (Japan). Dazwischen findet sich die ganze Bandbreite der unterschiedlichen Kulturen, Bilderwelten, und nicht zuletzt der unterschiedlichen Schriften. Häufig tauchen Bilder aus der asiatischen Mythologie auf; florale Elemente, Gesichter, Schrift und Ornamentik sind die Dominanten Motive. Dieser Band demonstriert einmal mehr: "Worldwide Graphic Design" ist eine spannende und anregende visuelle Reise um die Welt!

In this new series we're presenting contemporary graphic design from different parts of the world. Even though during the last decades globalization seems to have resulted in the different cultures and societies moving closer together, and although communication and cultural exchange has increased, many regional designs still retain distinctive characteristics that reflect their origin.

The fourth and latest volume in the series is dedicated to Australia and New Zealand. Thanks to the region's proximity to eastern Asia, the predominantly western imagery which most of these designs are firmly rooted in, is enriched by Asian and exotic elements. This combination leads to some rather unexpected and unorthodox results. Thus, "Down Under" is a collection of designs which appear both familiar and strange at the same time.
As "Down Under" once again demonstrates, the series "Worldwide graphic Design" is an inspiring visual journey around the world!

In dieser neuen Buchreihe präsentieren wir zeitgenössisches Grafik-Design aus den verschiedensten Teilen der Welt. Auch wenn sich die verschiedenen Kulturen und Gesellschaften während der letzten Jahrzehnte einander deutlich angenähert haben und der gegenseitige Austausch zugenommen hat, zeugen die grafischen Arbeiten der einzelnen Länder und Regionen dennoch klar von regionalen Eigenheiten, Vorlieben und Interessen. Nicht selten entsteht eine reizvolle Verbindung aus internationalen und regionalen Elementen. Der neueste Titel der Serie widmet sich den Arbeiten aus Australien und Neuseeland. Dank der geografischen Nähe dieser Länder zu Ostasien sind die ansonsten stark in westlichen Bilderwelten verankerten Arbeiten häufig angereichert durch exotische Elemente. Diese Kombination führte zu einigen unorthodoxen und unerwarteten Resultaten. So ist "Down Under" eine Sammlung von Arbeiten, die häufig vertraut und fremd zulgeich wirken. Und der Band demonstriert einmal mehr: "Worldwide Graphic Design" ist eine spannende und anregende visuelle Reise um die Welt!

In this new series, zeixs presents contemporary graphic design from different parts of the world. The first two volumes are dedicated to Scandinavia and Latin America.

Even though during the last decade's globalization seems to have resulted in the different cultures and societies moving closer together, and even though communication and cultural exchange has increased, many regional designs still retain distinctive characteristics.

Latin America

Not surprisingly, the works from Latin America turn out to be pretty vivid and colourful. There seem to be no inhibitions or restraint – the dominant tones range from buoyant and humorous to downright aggressive and provocative.

Whatever the tone may be, the visual impression is always striking. Apparently, the so-called Latin American lifestyle and climate have left their mark on these designs. This is just another proof that design and art are always influenced by the environment in which they are created.

These particularities have been captured in this compilation of exceptional works from such diverse categories as poster design, advertising, and illustrations.
