Книги о колористике

Colors are so universally used that every designer should consider when designing. They are so important that they to some degree decide the overall design.

This book introduces two systems of printing colors — CMYK and PMS — in a plain way, explaining how they are produced and the principles behind them with texts and illustrations. Meanwhile, it showcases a substantial selection of projects for reader’s well-rounded understanding of printing colors and their functions.

1. A detailed introduction to the two systems of printing colors — CMYK and PMS
2. Carefully-selected cases covering various types of graphic design
3. A good combination of theory and practice for easy learning

A beautifully presented survey of design and the applied arts explored not by use, material, form or date – but by colour

Throughout history and in all cultures, designers and makers have been concerned not only with the fluctuating relationship between the form and function of objects but also with their colour. This unique book explores and celebrates colour in all aspects of design, whether used for decorative effect or symbolic intent. It will transform the way we think about the objects around us that unwittingly define where we come from and who we are.

The V&A Book of Colour in Design is attractively simple: a celebration and exploration of colour, as revealed through objects in the world-class collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Structured by colour, it offers fascinating insights into the choices made by designers and makers from across the world and throughout history.

Each chapter begins with a brief introduction that considers the history, symbolism, and use of an individual colour. Objects – from items of jewellery, textiles, glassware and ceramics to furniture and more – are reproduced in a visual selection that explores the varied hues of every colour. However different objects within each section may be in their detail and meaning, they are united by their common colour, revealing surprising connections between them. Throughout, narrative captions bring together disparate items from across the V&A’s collection to explore the universal significance of colour in art and design.

Beautifully designed, this highly visual, colour-led survey of design and the applied arts is a compelling sourcebook with broad appeal for anyone interested or involved in all aspects of visual culture.

In this book Tricia Guild has lifted the lid on her own 'paint box' - the colours with which she chooses to colour her world. She collates some of her favourite palettes, inspired by nature, her travels, art and architecture, fashion and everyday combinations of colours that surround us. They can all be adapted to suit your style and your home and, although many may feature pattern, every single one will work like a dream in purely plain colours.

“I would like to share with you the way I choose colours, I love to put them together in a palette, then use this in a mix of plains, pattern and texture to evoke the mood I seek in a room.
To imbue one’s home with the same expression and personality is to harness the power of colour in your own way.”
Tricia Guild OBE
Creative Director and Founder of Designers Guild.

Over the years Tricia has met many people who are more than a little nervous of embracing colour in their own homes. At Designers Guild, it has always been her passionate goal to give people the confidence to embrace hues and textures that she knows will enrich their lives. Her aim has been to share that sense of unadulterated joy one feels when contemplating a glorious landscape or work of art in order to create a desirable living space.

In PAINT BOX, you will discover where Tricia’s unique sense of colour and style comes from and, most importantly, how to replicate these palettes in the home. With stunning interior photography, this colour compilation is inspirational but, above all, practical and useful.

Dealing with color is a complex subject: influenced by standards, fashions, and trends, we derive our ideas and concepts from color theories, intuition, and personal preferences. The color swatches and systems for describing color common today are based on purely quantitative principles and include well over 1,500 colors. So how do we choose a particular color?

More than ten years ago, the color chemist Katrin Trautwein established a pigment factory, starting out from Le Corbusier’s color palette. She now has more than 900 recipes for paint from which she has proposed – based on her work with architects, designers, and historical preservationists – a selection of 128 colors that produce pleasant results on their own and also combine well. Each color is presented with a sample; their potential uses and significance are also discussed.

Katrin Trautwein has lectured throughout the world on how to approach colors, given seminars, given expert opinions, advised architects, taught painters, and worked as a restorer.

Carlos Cruz-Diez (Caracas, 1923) promotes experimentation with color and is one of the most relevant examples of the Kinetic Art Movement. The catalogue covers Cruz-Diez´s career including his beginnings as a graphic designer. The 1950s and 1960s are presented through a carefully selected group of unedited documents including magazines and catalogues that he illustrated and designed during that time period. This chapter in Cruz Diez´s career directly correlates with his unique artistic language, which he continues to apply in his works today. The catalogue illustrates almost thirty works by Carlos Cruz-Diez. Their presentation takes into account the original series in which they were first exhibited. These series allow insight into the artist´s personal concept and organization of his body of work. At the same time, the series reflect his incredible ambition and eagerness to experiment. His invented jargon stands out in all of the series with titles so typically Cruz-Diez such as Chromatic induction , Physichromie Chromosaturation .

'Carlos Cruz-Diez: Colour Happens' is the title of the first individual Spanish exhibition, an official institution, dedicated to the work of Carlos Cruz-Diez (Caracas, 1923). His work has been present in the greatest European exhibitions dedicated to Kinetic Art since the 60's, as well as in the most important collective exhibitions devoted to Latin American art. Carlos Cruz-Diez has worked in many of the most dignified museums worldwide, including, Musee National d'Art Modern Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, of which loaned works of Cruz-Diez for this exhibition, as with the private Foundation Allegro, the Altelier Cruz-Diez and MUGAB (Diputation of Alicante).

This book is a collection of the fi nest examples of the synergy generated by graphics and the use of color in architecture. The selection of projects demonstrates how graphics and color can reinforce the strength of volumes and spaces. The spatial application of color is clearly explained by the creators of the projects themselves through texts and photographs. This is an essential book for delving deeper into the specifi c uses of color in architecture and its application to different typologies. Work from some of today’s fi nest contemporary architects make this an excellent source of inspiration for lovers of color-focused architecture.

The use of color, in any artistic disciplnine, is one of the most cmplex paskss, as it not only serves a decorativepurpose; it is also used to convey an intention and certai aesthetic effects. In addition, there are psychological factor, considering that a color, and even shades of a color, can trigger certain feelings and this can have a decisive impact on how a person perceives a space or object.

Taking a practical approach to colour, Colour: A workshop for artists and designers is an invaluable resource for art students and professionals alike. With its sequence of specially designed assignments and in-depth discussions, it effectively bridges the gap between colour theory and practice to inspire confidence and understanding in anyone who works with colour.

This second edition has been carefully reviewed and revised throughout. Presented in a new larger format, it includes much-enhanced sections on key colour principles such as colour perception, visual structure, materials and techniques, psychological experience of colour, and colour composition in digital formats.

Generously illustrated – including all-new, contemporary examples – this book provides a unique set of tools that makes the complex theory of colour accessible and practical.
