Water, so essential to the survival of all known life forms, has recently become an item of luxury among more fashion-conscious and demanding consumers. The designer water phenomena is a trend whose roots can be traced back to Paris and has spread with astonishing success to all the world’s major cities. Water Pack! presents a meticulous and international selection of the best packaging designs for bottled water, brands which might be found on the menus in today’s most select restaurants, bars and spa shops. The bottle’s design is nearly as essential as the origin of the water itself, a substance so elemental, colorless, and anodyne that nature has provided it free of charge, while human beings have turned it into a truly desirable, powerful and distinctive item.

Watercolour painting, the painting with pigments suspended or dissolved in water, is one of the oldest forms of painting. It is also a form of painting that is very suitable for practical applications, as the subtle colours allow for a wide array of uses. Watercolour Patterns contains a collection of some 140 patterns, which were especially made for this edition by Joost van Roojen, who has specialised in watercolours since the 1950s and has gained a fabulous technical mastery of this medium.

Agile Rabbit Editions contain stunning images for use as a graphic resource, or inspiration. All the illustrations are stored in high-resolution format on the enclosed free CD-ROM and are ready to use for professional quality printed media and web page design. The pictures can also be used to produce postcards or to decorate your letters, flyers, etc. They can be imported directly from the CD into most design, image-manipulation, illustration, word-processing and e-mail programs; no installation is required. For most applications, single images can be used free of charge.

Our first thoughts, as we set about making our selection of Invitations for the book was that this was an area of design with little relevance. Despite the fact that almost all designers create invitations of one kind or another, for clients, events, or for personal use…. finding specifically relevant examples within global projects, was easier said than done. We sought therefore to make a collection of highly creative and communicative pieces, some for conceptual expression and others for simple or powerful graphics. Our collection of invitations includes exquisite concepts transformed into graphic realities. These small but stunning examples are both a source of inspiration and a magnet for any event.

В последние годы, технология и принципы работы веб-дизайна сделали стремительный рывок вперед.
