Ця книга, що отримала нагороди, про всі аспекти дизайну театрального освітлення, така ж прекрасна, як і повчальна, стала стандартним джерелом інформації в цій галузі.

Light Fantastic отримала схвалення театральної спільноти, зокрема нагороду «Золоте перо» від Інституту театральних технологій та нагороду «Видатне академічне звання» від журналу Choice. Тепер, у своєму третьому виданні, Light Fantastic була розширена, включивши захопливі нові фотографії з останніх постановок автора Макса Келлера. Текст оновлено, щоб відобразити останні технологічні досягнення, а нові есе – про світло в архітектурі, освітлення для музичних концертів, а також метафізику та політику світла – розширюють його охоплення. Широкі знання та досвід Келлера на деяких найвідоміших сценах світу роблять його визначним джерелом інформації як для ветеранів, так і для новачків у галузі сценічного освітлення. У книзі сотні яскравих кольорових фотографій передають захоплення від живих виступів. Цей чудовий том є незамінним посібником з дизайну сценічного освітлення.

Logos are everywhere. Every company uses a logo to communicate an image, an idea, or an aesthetic. Since the first “Logo” was one of our top sellers and given the wealth of excellent material at our hands, we decided to publish a follow-up. Hence we’ve compiled “Logo 2” with an abundance of logos from all areas you can think of.

Everybody knows that brand identity is key. A good logo can glamorize just about anything, so it comes as no surprise that logo design is a crucial step in the development of a product or service.

This exhaustive guide brings together diverse logos from over 30 countries, organized into chapters by theme, such as media, retailers, events, regions, service and agencies. A full index provided at the end of the book lists each logo`s company, designer, and designer`s website. Also included is a case study section, concentrating on logo application and development.

No graphic designer can do without this book, and anyone who`s interested in design will appreciate this diverse compendium of visual ideas. As scientist Linus Pauling once said, "In order to come up with one good idea, you must have lots of ideas."

Sure signs. Diverse logos from around the world

A good logo can glamorize just about anything. Now available in our popular Klotz format, this sweeping compendium gathers diverse brand markers from around the world to explore the irrepressible power of graphic representation. Organized into chapters by theme, the catalogue explores how text, image, and ideas distil into a logo across events, fashion, media, music, and retailers.

Featuring work from both star names and lesser-known mavericks, this is an excellent reference for students and professionals in design and marketing, as well as for anyone interested in the visuals and philosophy behind brand identity.
