Real estate marketing is certainly not a discipline that is taught at universities or is included in the curriculum of marketing-oriented professional training. For this very reason this book aims to provide information on how to approach such tasks in order to find success in real estate marketing.

Branding Property. Approaches to Real Estate Marketing presents examples to illustrate the type of processes and methods applied, how a new brand is brought to life, and how skilled implementation can reach the specified target group. At the core of the interdisciplinary approach is the visualization of the future residents of the property that is being marketed – including their mannerisms, habits, wishes, and needs. This way, real estate marketing already plays a role at an early stage by influencing the architecture, the mix of offers and the price level of the future offer. The book is supplemented by essays of visionary specialists. The discussed topics range from living in the future via the potentials of cyberspace and digital transformation up to marketing and brand philosophy.

Content:
 - An insider manual for real estate marketing
 - Essays by four guest authors
 - Ideas of how to bring brands to life
 - Nine case studies to explain the methodology

A "cool" guide to Rome, with an emotional tour of the city's key historical sites and monuments revisited through the inspiration behind Bvlgari's jewelry.

Since 1884, the majestic beauty of the Eternal City and its rich archaeological, artistic, and cultural heritage have represented an inexhaustible source of inspiration for Bvlgari. Yesterday as today, Rome's monuments and artistic details are gracefully evoked in the brand's jewelry creations. For example, the design of the iconic B-zero1 ring was inspired by the Colosseum, the ultimate symbol of the city, and likewise the recurrent octagonal geometries watch dial refers to the coffered ceiling of the Basilica of Maxentius.

This handy, pocket-sized volume takes us on an unprecedented historical, artistic, and emotional tour of the city. In addition to an actual guide to the monuments, the narration is enriched by short stories by some of the best-known Roman authors from the world of contemporary Italian literature, inspired by the most iconic locations in the city.

The book is further enhanced by contributions from figures linked to the city by birth or by adoption, including renowned names from fashion, cinema, sport, and music.

The Bvlgari jewelry and the places in Rome that inspired it are photographed in stunning images with artistic direction by Jan Králícek.

Chicago is a warm and welcoming city that brings together the best of many metropolises in the US.

We’ve ridden the rattling L train around Chicago in search of our favourite hotels, from luxury lodgings in the Loop to a family-run find in a former publishing house across the river. We’ve taste-tested restaurants serving dazzling dishes from around the world, as well as the odd joint offering cheesy slices of deepdish pizza. Join us as we explore the museums and galleries shaking up the art world, and the improv clubs making us laugh until we cry. Plus, more than a handful of intimate bars at which to end – or extend – the night.

Ця гра на запам'ятовування пропонує приголомшливий погляд на сучасні колажі від 30 художників та пропонує захопливе поєднання технік. Стилі варіюються від шалено грайливих та барвистих до вінтажних колажів.

Знайдіть дві однакові картки одного й того ж художника, яких можна розпізнати за одним стилем у мистецтві колажу.

Колаж – це техніка художнього виробництва, яка переважно використовується у візуальному мистецтві, де витвір мистецтва створюється з поєднання різних форм, створюючи таким чином нове ціле.

Колажне мистецтво дозволяє художникам взаємодіяти з існуючими матеріалами, до яких вони можуть призначити нові контексти, щоб створити абсолютно новий витвір мистецтва. Від газет та журналів до карт, квитків, пропаганди, фотографій, стрічок, поштових марок, фарби, тексту та знайдених предметів, елементи колажу беруть участь у зручному творчому процесі поєднання творів мистецтва та навіть їх розбиття на частини, у художньому дослідженні невідомого.

Витоки колажу можна простежити сотні років тому, але ця техніка різко з'явилася на початку 20 століття як новаторська форма мистецтва.

Divine the future with the ancient forgotten gods of Lovecraft with the Cthulhu Dark Arts Tarot box set.

Established by H.P. Lovecraft in the span of a few short stories, the Cthulhu Mythos has been incorporated into popular culture and contemporary fantasy production, including HBO’s hit series Lovecraft Country. Made by connoisseurs and lovers of Lovecraft, including scholar Maxime Le Dain, Abrams is honored to present the first tarot deck solely dedicated to this special universe.

This complete tarot contains 78 illustrated cards, including 22 major and 56 minor arcana.
All decks will be packaged with a 32-page booklet that will help with the interpretation of each card.
The illustrations of the Cthulhu Dark Arts Tarot were made by Førtifem. First entirely drawn by hand, each illustration was scanned and then colored using a computer. To ensure that the finished product honors the quality of the illustrations, as well as the greatness of the Cthulhu Mythos, they are printed on high-quality paper.

The format (3.35" x 6.50") chosen for this Cthulhu Mythos–inspired tarot is much larger than the usual divinatory tarot decks, including the Tarot of Marseille. This format is close to one of the oldest tarot decks, the “Visconti-Sforza” created by the artist Bonifacio Bembo between 1428 and 1447.

About the Authors:

Maxime Le Dain is a highly regarded and world-renowned scholar of the Lovecraft mythos. Førtifem is design/illustration duo Adrian Havet and Jesse Daubertes, whose graphics have been employed by Rammstein, Slipknot, Trivium, HBO, and Cartier. Adrien Havet and Jesse Daubertes started their careers as graphic designers before combining forces — and a shared love of illustration — under the name Førtifem.

Since 2012, they have developed a four-handed style that borrows from the strength of tattoo lines, as well as from the meticulousness of old engravings. Lovers of extreme music, they share their time between creating visuals for bands (Rammstein, Slipknot, Trivium, Emperor, Alcest, Carpenter Brut) and for books and brands (HBO, Ubisoft, Cartier, Affligem, Le Monde). Their personal drawings have been exhibited in Paris, Los Angeles, and Hong Kong. They are based in Paris and work from home.
