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".

“Where can your imagination take you?” renowned artist and vehicle designer John A. Frye answers in wondrous illustrations traversing varied terrain and time periods. Awe-inspiring vehicles, aircraft, and spacecraft speed and soar off the pages, inspiring and challenging artists to write their own rulebooks when designing and envisioning transportation design like never before.

Break away from the familiar motorized vehicles of the modern world by going well beyond what is expected and maximize visual motifs of sleekness and volume in “Chapter 1: Cars.” His spaceships and hovercraft in “Chapter 2: Ships and Flying Craft,” pull cues and details from real world airplanes and cars, and then playfully merge them with motifs of fanciful sci-fi mobility. With “Chapter 3: Autonomous Racing,” explore what happens when the driver is taken out of the equation in racecars — new forms emerge when the safety, space, and the visibility of a human occupant is no longer a factor. For fans of the largest vehicles on the road, “Chapter 4: Trucks and Big Rigs,” take the most everyday utilitarian vehicles and give them added edge, design, and style. Finally, with “Chapter 5: Other Extraordinary Vehicles,” the artist really flexes his creative muscles with unexpected and futuristic takes and sizes of robots, watercraft, and more.

Frye's enthusiasm and artistry comes through on every page, manifested in his sophisticated and often vibrant illustrations and especially his thoughtful reflections on different creative approaches developed over years of experience as a professional and as a teacher. "Unique ideas and thinking come from removing the burden of deeply logical thinking--shrugging off the shackles of critical realism," he writes. "Let your creativity loose on a regular basis and think like a kid with the horsepower of professional artistic skill."Let FryeWerk 2.0, Concept Vehicle Illustrations help you train yourself to more easily tap into that intense creative fuel source -- uninhibited childlike curiosity -- for more productive, passionate real-world project work and ongoing personal fulfillment.

John Hegarty takes 50 themes that lie at the heart of creative thinking and promotes the benefits of simplifying, thinking boldly and being undaunted by creative challenges

Creativity isn’t an occupation, it’s a preoccupation. It is at the very core of what makes us human. It’s also a fundamental challenge that everyone faces in the modern world, be they in business, in education or a struggling artist or musician. Being creative and innovative and communicating our ideas effectively and persuading others is vital. Who could be better able to demystify and set out some useful, generous advice on how to improve, sustain and nurture creativity than one of the world’s greatest advertising creatives and founder of an advertising agency renowned worldwide for its excellence? In this book, John Hegarty takes 50 provocations and themes that lie at the heart of creative thinking. These range from those with complex depths that lie beyond deceptively simple titles such as ‘Idea’, ‘Ego’, ‘Money’ and ‘Technology’, to others that look at the complexities of modern life, such as dealing with cynics in the workplace, or the best way of getting angry. Hegarty’s message is always crystal clear and promotes the benefits of simplifying, thinking boldly and being undaunted by challenges. With this book, when a challenge confronts them, readers will find that one of the great minds in advertising is there to guide them.

Keep Working. Keep Playing. Keep Creating.

In his previous books Steal Like an Artist and Show Your Work!, both New York Times bestsellers, Austin Kleon gave readers the keys to unlock their creativity and showed them how to become known. Now he offers his most inspiring work yet, with ten simple rules for how to stay creative, focused, and true to yourself — for life.

The creative life is not a linear journey to a finish line, it’s a loop — so find a daily routine, because today is the only day that matters. Disconnect from the world to connect with yourself — sometimes you just have to switch into airplane mode. Keep Going celebrates getting outdoors and taking a walk (as director Ingmar Bergman told his daughter, ”The demons hate fresh air”). Pay attention, and especially pay attention to what you pay attention to. Worry less about getting things done, and more about the worth of what you’re doing. Instead of focusing on making your mark, work to leave things better than you found them.

Keep Going and its timeless, practical, and ethical principles are for anyone trying to sustain a meaningful and productive life.
