Compared with traditional design emphasizing on the functionality of products, designers today turn an eye on the ergonomic aspect of products to meet the increasing need of people today requiring more scientific and comfortable products. To echo this double-need, Ergonomics in Product Design introduces the basic knowledge of ergonomics with rich illustrations, aiming to explain the discipline in a more accessible way. It further enhances the reader’s understanding by elaborate case studies and abundant product designs which come with useful ergonomic diagrams.

Perfect for display or close observation, the posters in this elegantly produced collection of Ernst Haeckel's exquisite illustrations of natural forms demonstrate his exceptional artistry.

Biologist, physician, philosopher, and artist, Ernst Haeckel was also a prescient observer of the natural world. His highly detailed and expertly rendered illustrations, first published at the turn of the 20th century, are not only beautiful works of art, but also have scientific underpinnings. Now available as a series of large format posters sumptuously printed and suitable for framing, Haeckel's most elaborate and captivating works illustrate his fundamental notion of the unity of all living things. From otherworldly radiolaria to psychedelic sea anemones, Haeckel's science and artistry continue to provide inspiration for 21st-century illustrators, architects, graphic designers, and anyone interested in exploring nature's perfect geometry.

Улюблена монографія Фейдона про легендарного італійського дизайнера та архітектора Етторе Сотцасса

Перевидання цієї високо оціненої назви демонструє постійне захоплення як шанувальників, так і колекціонерів життям і творчістю італійського архітектора та дизайнера Ettore Sottsass. Роботи дизайнера однаково популярні та впливові, від його дизайнів для Olivetti (таких як вражаюча яскраво-червона ручна друкарська машинка Valentine з її геніальним футляром) до постмодерністського блиску роботи Memphis Group, заснованої Sottsass у Мілані в 1980 році.

Наповнена прекрасними зображеннями, взятими з великих архівів Sottsass, а також малюнками та ескізами з незліченних альбомів дизайнера, книга досліджує всю його кар’єру з 1940-х до 2000-х років, охоплюючи все: від його архітектурних проектів і дизайну продуктів до його кераміки, скульптури та графіки.

Everyday Scenes from a Parallel World is a celebration of the beauty of the scenes and backgrounds in anime and manga. 

This unusual book turns the spotlight exclusively on the scenes and background illustrations. With only a few ordinary characters in these scenes, attention here is focused on the beauty of the illustrated backgrounds.

These background artworks feature familiar scenes from daily life: nostalgic townscapes, detailed cityscapes, intricate architecture, rooms that look like doll houses, etc. They are extremely realistic and detailed -- almost like photographs -- but at the same time give readers the sense that we are looking at images of a parallel world.

The works featured are by 39 well-known, mostly Japanese creators, illustrators, and animators. Some creators featured have made their entire careers specializing in drawing backgrounds. Frequently overlooked, this book finally gives them the recognition they deserve. Additionally, a section that explains drawing techniques and materials is included. The profiles of creators with messages from each, descriptions of each creator's techniques and preferred materials are written in both Japanese and English text.

This stunning collection will appeal to all art lovers and is sure to bring creators massive inspiration, too.

An exhibition is an organized presentation and display of a selection of items that usually takes place in a museum, gallery or exhibition hall.

Exhibitions may range from an extraordinarily large event such as a world’s fair to small one-artist solo shows. Architects, exhibition designers, graphic designers and other designers are usually needed to shape the exhibition space and give form to the editorial content.

Exhibition Art: Graphics and Space Design collects almost one hundred of the most creative exhibition designs, including fascinating space designs and sophisticated graphic designs. It will surely serve as a significant guide for exhibition designers, graphic designers, curators and event organizers.

This original work introduces readers to the drawing and painting techniques of the hyperrealist movement, a style applied to painting whose techniques aspire to photographic exactitude in drawing.

From the first action before viewing the piece – the search for information and reference images – to different drawing and sculpture techniques, the book offers a step-by-step explanation of the creative process and shows readers how to illustrate in black and white and with colored pencils, how to work with watercolors and oil, how to create a trompe l’oeil and how to create a realistic-looking 3D model. Readers will find all the techniques and suggestions they need to make their own hyperrealist creations, all explained in a pleasant and fun way.

It is an original and creative way to introduce different drawing techniques that will awaken the artist inside of us all and whose results will strike most readers as surprising given the degree of realism achieved, as if they were photographs. The book includes references to contemporary artists who have used each of the techniques described, curiosities in the world of art and other tricks of the trade.

Поєднуючи підприємницьке бачення майстерності з інноваційними матеріалами та технічними можливостями, Карл Фаберже наприкінці 19-го та на початку 20-го сторіччя створив дивовижну низку виготовлених на замовлення предметів, прикрашених коштовностями та емаллю.

Fabric For Fashion: The Complete Guide is the only book specifically for fashion designers to explain the behaviour and properties of different fabrics. Fashion design is largely determined by how the fabrics work, move, feel and look. The most successful fashion designers are those who understand their materials, and who match design skills with technical knowledge.

This book bridges that gap by providing a mix of practical information and industry vocabulary, visually examining generic fabric types, discussing the characteristics of fabrics and showing how to exploit materials to push the boundaries of design.

With stunning colour photographs that show how fashion designers, both past and present, have worked with fabrics, the book’s prime objective is to stimulate creative exploration of the relationship of fabrics to fashion.

This easily navigable resource provides 125 swatches of the most recognized and widely used varieties of fabric to encourage consideration of not just their aesthetic appeal but also their structure, feel and weight. Natural fabrics such as cottons, silks, wools and linens are included, as are artificial and synthetic fabrics like nylons, polyesters, microfibres, metallics and soya fabrics, and fabrics made from alternative plant fibres like bamboo and hemp.

With information on fibres, basic construction of fabrics, weights, construction, and weave comparison, the book will help student fashion designers to make informed textile choices based upon an understanding of raw materials together with the processes that make up a fabric. The book will be useful for anyone who works with fabrics and is the ideal companion to Fabric for Fashion: The Complete Guide.

Веселий і казковий погляд на мистецтво робити помилки. Ерік Кесселс відзначає недосконалість і невдачі та показує, чому вони є невід’ємною частиною творчого процесу.

Failed it!  відзначає силу помилок і показує, як вони можуть збагатити творчий процес. Це частково фотокнига та частково посібник із того, як розслабитися та робити помилки, щоб позбутися страху перед невдачами та заохотити до експериментів.

Ми живемо в епоху, коли всі прагнуть досконалості, а ми почали боятися невдач, що обмежує наш потенціал. Помилки допомагають нам знаходити нові способи мислення та інноваційні рішення, а невдачі можуть змінити наше сприйняття та відкрити нові погляди на речі. Ця книга перетворює помилки з приводу для святкування.

Цитуючи Кесселса: «повсюдність Apple + Z означає, що ми можемо буквально скасувати будь-яку помилку до того, як вона встигне віддихнутися, бути розглянутою і — можливо — перетворитися на щось інше: захоплюючу, дивну, провокаційну чи навіть оригінальну роботу. Ця книга просить читачів прийняти їхні помилки, навчитися на них і відсвяткувати їх бездарну славу».
