Книги з графічного дизайну

Clad in white, this year's Select H sticks to its 3-volume format introduced in its last edition, dividing the book into three blocks: Graphic Design, New Media (DVD inclusive) and Schools.

Its daring, innovative design, outlined from its very first issue, Select A, offers a format which is smaller than usual, to emphasize its thickness, while every project featured is presented on a double-page spread.

Select is considered a book of reference in the world of Graphic Design and an essential guide for keeping up-to-date with Spanish creativity, year after year.

Contributors to Select H's selectors team have been: Alberto Salván, Diego Feijóo, Enric Batlle, Astrid Stavro, Xose Teiga, Marga Castaño, Tavo Ponce, Gonzalo Zaragoza, Raquel Pelta, Marina Vilageliu y Hernán Ordoñez.

Selected is not an award, but rather, as its name suggests, it is a "selection" of the best European design projects completed within year 2009 by graphic studios, designers and students from across Europe.

The projects are chosen by a team of renowned professionals - Selectors - from various fields in the visual communication and graphic design industries, who meet to make a selection of the best work pieces among all the entries received. Only the projects which are chosen from their expert point of view are ultimately included in the book.

The annual is presented with an original design and in a special format, smaller than the average yearbook. The book is divided into three different categories (Graphic Design, New Media and Schools) and each project is featured individually on a double-page spread. Instead of being numbered, each edition of Selected is assigned a letter, in alphabetical order, which is also the initial of the font face used in the book. Namely, the first volume in the series, Selected A, refers to the font face AkzidGroBe. This is Index Book's special way of paying homage to typography as an iconic element in design.

It's undeniable: sex is everywhere: advertisements, fashion, art, film, music and television. All proliferating the "sex sells" adage. SEX DESIGN is a great looking, graphic, and entertaining book presenting an exciting selection of designers and their work on the pursuit of pleasure. Included are both product and graphic designs, objects relating to sex, hearts, love, provocative ads using sex as an enticement, phallic architecture, sex toys, and lots of sexual innuendo.

This amusing collection is amassed from sources around the world, from a diverse group of designers who are happy to cross the line into risqué territory. From the subliminal to the overt, SEX DESIGN takes a look at the way this subject has become ingrained in popular culture and brings ingenious new meaning to the word "erotica".
