Mad for ads: Advertising for the Space Age Gleaned from thousands of images, this book offers the best of American print advertising in the age of the "Big Idea." From the height of American consumerism, bold and colourful campaigns paint a fascinating portrait of the 1950s and 60s, as concerns about the Cold War gave way to the carefree booze-and-cigarettes capitalism of the Mad Men era.

Digitally remastered for optimum reproduction quality, the ads burst with crisp fonts and colours, as well as a sexy sense of possibility, beguiling their audience to buy everything from guns to girdles, cars to toothpaste, air travel to home appliances. At turns startling, amusing and inspiring, this panorama of mid-century marketing is at once an evocative period piece and a showcase of design innovation and advertising wit.

The mini icons in this book are designed for use on hand-held organisers, such as Palm and other PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants). The restrictions dictated by such devices mean that designers must be extremely inventive to produce recognisable images with a minimum of pixels. The resulting designs are of amazing simplicity and must be viewed in small format to be distinguished properly.

A celebration of the unmistakable Missoni style, whose innovative approach mixes bold color, pattern, and material with an extraordinary sense of balance and elegance.

This is the first fully comprehensive book about Missoni, created with full access to the archives and with the support of the Missoni family. Lavishly designed, it features reproductions of Missoni patterns printed on special material and stitched into the binding between signatures along with other special features.

This volume was conceived as a design object, in which images, texts, original fabrics, drawings, color palettes, and fashion patterns speak to one another. Missoni celebrates an elegance that has become an artistic expression as well as something of a cultural and fashion revolution since the early 1950s, when Rosita and Ottavio Missoni began their creative journey into fashion and art, with a talent for experimentation that never betrayed the spirit of their origins in the decades to come.

Divided into thematic sections, each is introduced by an essay including quotes by the Missonis themselves, highlighting the artistic decisions that contributed to the success and recognizability of their fashion house.

With previously unpublished material from both the family and the company archives, this volume is a look into the creative and artistic world of Missoni.

Das Museum für Angewandte Kunst in Köln besitzt eine umfangreiche Sammlung mitteleuropäischer Möbel aus vier Jahrhunderten. Diese besticht durch eine weitgehend vollständige Dokumentation der wichtigsten Möbeltypen und der maßgebenden künstlerischen Formen. Auch die Veränderungen handwerklicher Fähigkeiten im Wandel der Zeit lassen sich an den Objekten nachvollziehen.

Gotische Truhen, Tische und Schränke stellen die frühesten Stücke dar. Einen Schwerpunkt bilden die Möbel der Renaissance, die durch ihre reichen Formen und perfektionierten Handwerkstechniken von den hohen Ansprüchen der Auftraggeber zeugen. Dem höfischen Zeremoniell der auf Paris ausgerichteten Barockfürsten entsprachen kunstvoll gestaltete und mit vergoldeten Bronzen verzierte Möbel. Der Wandel vom Rokoko zum Klassizismus wird durch Möbel aus der weithin bekannten Werkstatt von Abraham und David Roentgen deutlich. Ob die Gestaltung im 19. Jahrhundert historisierenden Tendenzen oder neuem Gedankengut folgte, ob sie eine Hinwendung an vergangene Epochen darstellt oder mit schlichten, werkgerechten Sitzmöbeln neue Wege geht, stets unterlag sie dem Einfluss ihrer Zeit. Die jüngsten Objekte stammen aus dem Jugendstil, der in seinen verschiedenen nationalen Ausprägungen belegt ist.

Dieser erste Bestandskatalog zeigt die Vielfalt der gesammelten Möbel; die lokale und zeitliche Einordnungen wird ausführlich begründet. Die Eingebundenheit in eine übergeordnete Geschichte verleiht den Möbeln über ihre Funktion als Gebrauchsgegenstand und ihren Wert als Kunstwerk hinaus den Rang eines Zeugnisses ihrer Zeit.

Fashion illustration fulfils several objectives for designers. At the very outset of the design process, it helps turn an idea – which until then only existed as a tangled web of possibilities in the designer’s mind – into something tangible. After this, once the design is on paper, the designer can use the drawing to refine the details of the garment and its production, bringing the original idea ever closer to its actual realization.
