Since the end of the 19th century, our aesthetics have been challenged by various avant-garde artistic ideas, especially astounded by the chaotic visuals. But there are many more stories behind the chaos in art. This book digs into chaotic art heritage in human history, and features the most exciting graphic designs distinguished with chaotic styles, which have been broken down into four different approaches: distortion, redundancy, diversity, and randomness. As a tribute to the chaotic art refined by the courageous predecessors, as well as an applause to the chaotic visuals nourished by our contemporary designers, it serves as a bridge between artistic ideals and graphic communication, between puzzled readers and expressive designers.

The story of the illustrated book from the earliest printed books to the present day, told through the collections of the V&A’s National Art Library

Throughout history, images have been used to reflect the meaning of words and to enhance our understanding of texts. With the invention of mechanized printing in Germany in the 15th century, illustrated books were no longer the preserve of the elite and became a source of knowledge, instruction and pleasure for a wider audience.

Traditional accounts of the illustrated book survey its history in terms of technological advances, from illumination to hand-drawn illustrations and photography. This study offers a new approach, grouping books by subject – from natural history and travel to art, architecture and fashion. Gathered here are some of the most influential and compelling examples of the illustrated book, all chosen from the collections of the National Art Library at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

Each chapter starts with a general introduction to the subject, followed by key examples accompanied by narrative captions. The commentaries range beyond the illustrations to consider the whole book, the design, typeface, binding, inks and papers. Many of the books are not on display to the public and have been specially photographed for this volume. Most examples have been chosen for their significance, being innovative and beautiful. But humble books, often overlooked in histories, have also been selected, when particularly effective in their field, or simply memorable.

From beautiful printed Psalters and Books of Hours, to striking natural history books such as Audubon’s Birds of America, La Fontaine’s Fables illustrated by Marc Chagall, Serlio’s treatise on architecture and Owen Jones’s Grammar of Ornament, this book gives a fascinating overview of some of the finest illustrated books ever created. In the face of recent pronouncements about the death of the printed book, this volume demonstrates the enduring appeal of the illustrated book.

Worlds Beyond Time – це остаточна візуальна історія космічних кораблів, інопланетних ландшафтів, криптозоології та уявних промислових машин науково-фантастичного мистецтва 1970-х у м’якій обкладинці та художників, які створили ці надзвичайні зображення.

Цей колекційний том — це любовна данина унікальній та міцній формі мистецтва, чия спадщина продовжує жити, як у ностальгічному оцінюванні, так і в ретро-шикарному дизайні основних науково-фантастичних фільмів, таких як Вартові Галактики, Чужий: Заповіт і Тор: Раґнарок.

У 1970-х роках процвітали масові дешеві науково-фантастичні романи. Папір був грубим, назви обурливими, а обкладинка вражаючою.

Протягом десятиліття цілий ряд талановитих художників, художників коміксів і дизайнерів створив тисячі найпривабливіших книжкових обкладинок, які коли-небудь прикрашали полиці книжкових магазинів (або стелажі). Твори, які замовляли для цих обкладинок, часто мали дуже мало спільного зі змістом книг, які вони продавали, але завдяки значній опорі на психоделічні образи, далекі пейзажі та тріпотливий сюрреалізм, мистецтво могло задовольнити той самий апетит до великих ідей і чудових нових світів, які сміливо просували письменники-фантасти, що підживлювалися космічними гонками.

У Worlds Beyond Time: Sci-Fi Art of the 1970s Адам Роу, який курує, підтримує та воскрешає найкраще та найнезрозуміліше мистецтво наукової фантастики 1970-х у своєму блозі 70s Sci-Fi Art, знайомить читачів із найбільшими іменами цього жанру, зокрема Крісом Фоссом, Пітером Елсоном, Тімом Вайтом, Джеком Ґоґаном та Вірджилом. Фінлі, а також їхній вплив.

Наповнена чудово відтвореними творами мистецтва, ця книга також включає глибокі занурення в тему, яка зазвичай з’являється на цих обкладинках: космічні кораблі, інопланетні пейзажі, фантастичні царства, криптозоологія та важка техніка.

Layout — an often misunderstood aspect of design. So often, as layout designers, we hear people telling us that layout is easy, just putting text and images on a page and moving it around to make it “nice”. However, the reality is that a book designer has to follow tonnes of design, typographical and composition rules. The process behind fine tuning these details is gruelling and tedious work.

We believe that a successful book layout design is not only about what designers should do — but also what designers should not do. It is about the thought processes behind these decisions, solving these problems with the turn of each page as well as balancing the harmony between text and images. And these points are just what Flipping Pages strives to present.

 - Systematic basics of layout and editorial design used by most designers on a daily basis. From the setting of the page size, to setting the grid and finally filling the page with images and text, it provides a basic introduction for the designer to begin his/her journey into layout and editorial design.
 - A great quantity of the best in editorial design in recent years amply with and without grids
 - Profound as well as lucid explanation about processes and thoughts behind the scenes of each page

As the one-and-only comprehensive collection of Harry Clarke's complete works, this book showcases them with beautiful printing and detailed bilingual explanations. It is a must-have book, to be treasured by fans of The Golden Age Of Illustration, and illustration students alike.

Magazines are an essential element of visual communication in the world today, one with an unlimited number of creative resources.

Effective layout is essential to communication and enables the end-user to not only be drawn in with an innovative design, but to digest information easily. Making and Breaking the Grid is a comprehensive layout design workshop that assumes that in order to effectively break the rules of grid-based design, one must first understand those rules and see them applied to real-world projects.

Basics include composing typographic space, format determination, and sequencing and systemization. Various types of grids manuscript, column, modular, hierarchical are also covered.

Text reveals top designers' work in process and rationale. Projects with similar characteristics are linked through a simple notational system that encourages exploration and comparison of structure ideas. Each project is shown comprehensively so readers can see its structure revealed over several pages, at a size that allows for inspection of detail.

Also included are historical overviews that summarize the development of layout concepts, both grid-based and non-grid based, in modern design practice.
