Книги по графическому дизайну

In today’s high-tech, virtual world, where things exist—but then again they don’t—people are drawn irresistibly to “touch-friendly” designs. It’s little wonder that graphic design using unusual materials that call out to be touched get noticed and build image like no others.

Design on nontraditional materials attracts both designers and consumers. The subject fascinates consumers because they recognize that unique materials can be difficult to engineer and incorporate, and thus tactile design nearly always becomes coveted and collectible. Moreover, the designer who can get a consumer to interact with a product, whether it’s a brochure or a package, increases the chance of making a memorable connection and, even better yet, a sale.

The art of faience tile making had found its way from Arabic North Africa from where it had slowly progressed northward via Spain, Italy (mainly the city of Faenza, hence the French “faïence”) and Antwerp to arrive about 1570 in the northern Dutch province of Friesland. The Royal Tichelaar Makkum from which the designs in this book originate is the oldest enterprise in the Netherlands and indeed ranks it among the oldest companies in the world. Many of the designs this factory has been using over the years have been compiled in an ancient volume kept in the historical collection of their archives, along with many examples of actual antique tiles. For the first time a selection of these has now been made available for publication in this book.

Working with type and image and the integration of these two elements to create persuasive and effective design pieces are the foundations of good graphic design. Yet, very little practical information exists for these tasks.

This book changes all it. It gives designers the practical know-how to combine type and image for dynamic effect as well as to use them in contrast to create tension and meaning in design. Creating strong layouts is the most important as well as the most challenging of any project. This book inspires through excellence by exhibiting great design work then deconstructing the processes in simple visual terms.

Type, Image, Message: Merging Pictures and Ideas looks at this respected art form while providing practical information that can be used by any designer wishing to hone the skills needed to merge type with images in an inspired manner.

Husband and wife, photographer and designer, the two work to diminish the boundaries between graphic design and photography - creating collaged three-dimensional images influenced by modern painting, technology, and architecture. With a home and studio halfway between Boston and Providence, they balance their commitments to professional practice and teaching at the Rhode Island School of Design, where Skolos is Head of the Department of Graphic Design.

The studio's work has received numerous awards and has been widely published and exhibited. Skolos-Wedell's posters are included in the graphic design collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Library of Congress, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Israel Museum, and the Museum fur Gestaltung, Zurich, Switzerland. Skolos is an elected member of the Alliance Graphique Internationale.

Хорошее типографское оформление книги зависит от правильного выбора и размещения многих элементов декора: разделителей, буквиц, рамок, концевых украшений. Каждое украшение имеет четко определенное место в структуре книги и усиливает, выделяет, подчеркивает или уравновешивает текст на ее страницах. Типографские украшения часто объединены между собой, орнаменты могут быть многофункциональными, это приводит к целому ряду взаимосвязанных повторяющихся и изменяющихся элементов декора, включающих концевые элементы, разделители и рамки.

16-е столетие - золотой век типографского декорирования. Такие художники как Жан Казин и Джефри Тори разработали прекрасные флероны, концевые украшения, рамки и арабески.

В 17-м веке книги были главным образом украшены с титульной стороны, а также полностраничными иллюстрациями, в то время как в 18-м столетии - веке Рококо - декоративные украшения и иллюстрации становятся тесно связанными между собой, образуя художественное смешение декоративного и иллюстрационного оформления.

В 19-м столетии типографские мастера одновременно являлись прекрасными художниками, которые сами оформляли и декорировали издаваемые книги. Гравюры размещались сверху или на нижней части страниц текста, с бесчисленными разновидностями орнаментов, заимствованных из прошлых веков, также как и в сегодняшней архитектуре и индустриальных искусствах. Все эти прекрасные декоративные элементы со временем постепенно теряли свою роль в визуальной структуре книг и использовались в рекламном деле.

Предлагаемая книга, с сотнями уникальных примеров, позволит Вам использовать декоративные элементы из прошлого и находить вдохновение для создания ваших собственных композиций.

Все иллюстрации, представленные в этой книге сохранены на прилагающемся компакт-диске.
Могут использоваться как на PC, так и на Mac компьютерах.
Изображения сохранены в файлах формата TIFF высокого разрешения и могут свободно применяться в некоммерческих целях.
