Тekno Logical contains more than 100 fractals and other complex geometric designs generated through mathematical formulas. Interestingly, fractal structures are omnipresent in nature and the universe. For example, rocks and mountains, trees and foliage, cloud formations, and so forth, all share the characteristic that sweeping views of them have very similar features to their most minute details. And perhaps even more fascinating is the fact that the picture of an atom is akin to that of a galaxy. Tekno Logical is a unique and highly original publication by a master in digital pattern making. All images are stored on the enclosed CD-ROM, to view on your computer, and to use for web and graphic design purposes.

In creative advertising, no amount of glossy presentation will improve a bad idea. That’s why this book is dedicated to the first and most important lesson: concept.

Structured to provide both a complete course on advertising and a quick reference on particular topics, it covers every aspect of the business, from how to write copy and learn the creative process to how agencies work and the different strategies used for all types of media.

This edition features a substantially revised and expanded chapter on interactive advertising.

Pete Barry outlines simple but fundamental rules about how to ‘push’ an ad to turn it into something exceptional, while exercises throughout will help readers assess their own work and that of others. Fifty years’ worth of international, award-winning ad campaigns – in the form of over 450 ‘roughs’ specially produced by the author, fifty of which are new to this edition – also reinforce the book’s core lesson: that a great idea will last forever.

The Ambassador has been described as 'probably the most daring and enterprising trade magazine ever conceived'. With the motto 'Export or Die!', the magazine was renowned for its innovative design and adventurous editorial approach in promoting British manufacturing in the post-war period. This book takes a detailed look at the background and impact of The Ambassador. The magazine was driven by the vision of its founder Hans Juda and his wife, Elsbeth, who was responsible for much of the magazine's striking photography. Focusing on the perceived strengths of British industry, they set up ambitious photo shoots to showcase the latest couture fashions by the likes of Charles Creed and Victor Stiebel. The magazine promoted fine art as an inspiration for design, and commissioned artists such as John Piper and Henry Moore for their covers.
