How to Grow as a Graphic Designer

NZ$ 49.95 each
Paperback
Author:
Catherine Fishel
Published by:
Allworth Press
Features in-depth interviews with more than 40 leading designers, revealing how they stay motivated, creative, and satisfied in their lives and careers.
In How to Grow as a Graphic Designer, you’ll gain insight into how designers like Michael Bierut, Jeff Keedy, Noreen Morioka and Sean Adams, Terry Marks, Laura Zeck, and Jesse Doquilo overcame challenges and obstacles to become who they are today. While many themes exist beneath its pages, How to Grow as a Graphic Designer is really about questioning. Consider your motives, goals, progress, loyalties, values, and clients. Competing with yourself may be the best way to monitor your overall performance, as Jeff Keedy explains, “This is outside the client thing or of getting awards. You can look at yourself, measure everything up, and say, ‘I’m still not there.’”

1000 Symbols

NZ$ 69.95 each
Paperback
Author:
Rowena Shepherd & Rupert Shepherd
Published by:
Thames and Hudson Ltd
1000 Symbols traces and reveals the historical and cross-cultural significance of 1000 commonly recognized symbols in a comprehensive single-volume dictionary for students and the general reader, placing each symbol in its historical and cultural context.
Symbols are often identified as an international language. However, that language is far from universal, and different symbols can mean radically different things in different contexts. A cross, a crane and a swastika each have a distinct meaning for a Buddhist or an art historian, for example, and none of its meanings is quite the same.
• More than 1000 entirely original symbol illustrations
• Text relating the history of each symbol and defining its cross-cultural meanings
• Organized by category, allowing for a rapid review of groups of associated symbols
• Alphabetical listing aids quick identification
• Comprehensively cross-referenced
• Detailed bibliography

All-American Ads

Author:
Steven Heller, Jim Heimann
Published by:
Benedikt Taschen Verlag
At the dawn of the 1930s, modernism started to influence the American advertising industry as waves from the European avant-garde movement made their way across the Atlantic. The trend of literal, uninspired print ads was shaken up by new stylized, symbolic, and even abstract advertisements that relied more on aesthetics than copy. These techniques worked well at first, and ultimately paved the way for advertising as we know it today, but were overshadowed by the need of a country in depression for hard-sell, shirt-sleeve advertising. Subtlety and irony could hardly sell products to a nation struggling to feed itself. Surprisingly, however, the ads of the 1930s reveal nothing of the hard times, painting instead an optimistic picture of affluent American family life. Cheerful and colorful, these ads served an important role as morale boosters, promising happiness and success to a country in crisis.

Author:
Fiell, Charlotte / Fiell, Peter
Published by:
Benedikt Taschen Verlag
In 1893, as design progressed towards the 20th century, a specialist publication the "Studio Magazine" was founded focusing on innovative fine and decorative art. In 1906 it produced its first "Decorative Art Yearbook"; its last in 1980. These Yearbooks became invaluable sources of inspiration for designers, as well as comprehensively tracing the history of the many fields covered - architecture, interior design, furniture, ceramics, metalware and glass design.
These TASCHEN reprints have carefully reproduced the original layouts, selecting the key pages from each year and grouping the disciplines, providing the professional and the enthusiast with an essential overview of trends and styles in each decade.
After the revolutions of the 60s, the world of design and architecture in the 70s became an increasingly exciting and fast-moving hotbed of ideas, rife with vehemently opposing schools and movements. In many ways it was a ...

Edited by Lucien King
Published by:
Laurence King Publishing
Videogames have come a long way since the first ever computer game, Spacewar, was developed at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1962 using technology developed to further man’s attempts at space travel. In the last ten years games have developed rapidly to become one of the most profitable entertainment sectors in the world, giving rise to a billion dollar creative industry. The technical capabilities of games design have made a remarkable simulation of reality possible. The influence of games is so pervasive that games characters, such as Lara Croft from Tomb Raider, have become cultural icons. Games have also influenced music and film. The first animated movie based on a game, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, recently set a new standard for computer graphics animation using characters that are almost indistinguishable from human actors. Game On examines the world of videogames from a global perspective. The book is ...

Designers and advertisers continually have to interpret design briefs, produce new solutions to familiar problems and work to keep their clients’ brands high in the public consciousness. This highly informative guide brings together for the first time discussions and case studies that illustrate the working methods of major advertising and graphic design firms.
Each chapter explores a different theme of ‘problem solving’, and concludes with a case study to illustrate a particular solution in detail. Themes include: producing innovative work, avoiding repetition, standing out in the market place, reinventing a tired brand, communicating essential facts in a culture of information overload, keeping a brand young and trendy, dealing sensitively with propaganda, the use of shock tactics, and word-based advertising in a world over-run with images and sound-bites. Examples featured are taken from classic and contemporary international ...

Author:
Alan Fletcher
Published by:
Phaidon Press Ltd
Images, ideas, quotations, jokes, reflections, and scraps of useless information are distilled into a quirky entertaining feast for the eye and the mind. Loosely arranged in 72 "chapters", this book explores such subjects as perception, illusion, and creativity. 700 illustrations, 300 in color.
This vast collection of assorted visual and verbal content is loosely strung together by the common thread of whatever captures the attention of celebrated designer Fletcher best known for his founding roles in the English design firm Fletcher Forbes Gill and the internationally recognized design group Pentagram. A table of contents (with headings such as "Learning," "Noise," and "Imagination") provides a loose structure for what is an otherwise unfettered stream-of-consciousness outpouring. In the author's own words, the book is "a journey without a destination." The book is tailor-made for those with short attention spans, since any given ...
