About the Sixth Edition

The market-leading practical book for both students and small businesses Graphic Design School has been refreshed and updated throughout.

The book is organized into two main sections, ‘principles’ and ‘practice’. The first section deals with the fundamentals of design, such as composition, hierarchy, layout, typography, grid structure, colour and so on. The second section puts these basics into practice and gives information about studio techniques and production issues relevant to a number of different graphic design disciplines. The last part of the second section provides an overview of some of the different career choices open to students entering the graphic design field.

New to this edition are two articles, one on User Experience Design (UX) and User Interface Design (UI), and one on Motion Graphics.

Packed with practical guidance on all areas of graphic design – from understanding the basics to devising an original concept and creating successful finished designs - Graphic Design School is a must-have book for anyone starting in graphic design.

Following its first bestselling predecessor, Graphic Fest 2 continues its legacy with a brand new selection of visual identities that appeal to the right audiences with the same vigour and sensations.

As the world slowly opens up after years of the pandemic, previously cancelled or postponed festivals and fairs are springing back to life with a new wave of creativity and energy, while organisers and designers are tasked with enhancing the event’s overall experience and atmosphere after people have spent so much time in isolation.

Ranging from logos, typography, to systematic approaches and environmental settings, the series continues with a fresh bout of inspiration to create attractive and memorable events or festivals.

What comes to mind when you think of graphite? Is it the stains that stay on your fingers, or the beautiful gradients that can result from simply playing with pressure? Through skilfully applied smudges and smears, the humble pencil is capable of expressing minute details and textures in myriad shades of grey, creating layered universes that draw viewers into their folds.

From the fine and crisp work produced with an H-grade to the fuzzier, ink-like impressions by the B end, Graphite collates some of the most stunning, hand-drawn contemporary pencil art across the lead spectrum, along with exclusive interviews with renowned pencil artists Amandine Urruty, Armando Veve, and Dukhoon Gim. Step into an enigmatic world of monochrome chronicling a unique perspective or story on every page, brought to life by 28 artists and illustrators from around the globe.

This is the first art collection by the young Canadian artist/illustrator Koyamori (also known as Maruti_Bitamin). Over the past five years, she has gained attention through regularly sharing her fascinating illustrations on her Instagram, Tumblr and Twitter accounts. This work has been collected in grow and accompanied by a selection of specially created new illustrations.

Using mostly watercolor ink, Koyamori's highly imaginative but intimate illustrations incorporate colorful natural elements such as plants, creatures, water and stars, and also feature super-cute manga-inspired characters. A reversible dust jacket includes the cover from the Japanese edition on the reverse side. Both covers are new illustrations exclusively drawn for this long-awaited book.

About the Author:

Koyamori is an Asian-Canadian watercolor painter who also focuses on illustration and design. Her work often features nature and nostalgic elements, stemming from a background in biology and a childhood in Asia. She attempts to create a sense of peace and comfort through these still images.

About the Author:

Helen Cann has illustrated over 30 books and exhibited around the world. Her work is entirely hand produced, mainly in watercolour, colour pencil, graphite and collage, but she sometimes ventures into acrylic and inks. She is the recipient of several awards, including Fall 2012 Selection, Junior Library Guild (US) and 2010 Gold Medal, Nautilus Book Awards (US).

For some time in the distant past, hand-lettering used to be a highly-regarded skill to master and was ubiquitous via publications and public signages. Although society relies heavily on keyboards and screens for communication today, a growing number of creative practitioners have been busy reviving the seemingly-lost art in recent years, in a bid to return the sincerity and warmth of the human touch to our predominantly digital lives. Brimming with character, hand-lettering serves as the bridge between old-school calligraphy and modern typography to bring nuance back into an age of uniformity.

As an update of the original release in 2017, the ‘Handstyle Lettering’ 2022 edition rereleased in conjunction with Victionary’s 20th anniversary is a delightful showcase of artworks from around the world that are anything but unvaried. With an additional selection of new projects, the book also features insightful interviews from the best calligraphers as well as an expanded, beginner-friendly guide/practice area.
