New Icons of Fashion IllustrationTony Glenville

Fashion illustration is and always has been about far more than pretty drawings of pretty dresses. This lavish celebration of today’s leading artists in the field showcases the timeless craft and amazing diversity that characterize the genre. From David Downton to Cecilia Carlstedt and from Jason Brooks to Jordi Labanda, 28 masters of fashion illustration from across the world are featured, one by one, in a grand tour of the best work currently produced. While some illustrators create daringly bold graphics, others prefer delicate watercolours and ink drawings. Throughout the volume, both hi-tech multimedia effects and traditional drawing skills are given pride of place, with many of the artists using a mixture of techniques. Lively commentary accompanies the images, while interviews with each illustrator provide further insight into their influences and methods.

Tony Glenville is Creative Director: School of Media & Communication at London College of Fashion. His work has appeared in The Independent, Harper’s Bazaar, Luxure, and The Evening Standard, among others. Tony has an extensive collection of fashion illustration reference materials collected over many years.

The Purple BookSensuality and Symbolism inContemporary Art and IllustrationAngus Hyland and Angharad Lewis

The Purple Book is a luxurious compendium of contemporary illustration that explores fantasy, sensuality, and the erotic imagination. It highlights visual art and the written word as media for representing human desire’s relationship with the dream-state, make-believe, and symbolism. The title of the book is inspired by The Yellow Book, the periodical published in the 1890s and initially art directed by Aubrey Beardsley. While the color yellow represented the daringly salacious in the 1890s, today the color purple is synonymous with opulence and sensuality.

Angus Hyland is a graduate of the Royal College of Art and a partner at Pentagram Design London. His work for Laurence King includes (with Roanne Bell) Hand to Eye (2003), The Picture Book (2010) and, with Steven Bateman, Symbol (2011). Angharad Lewis is an independent writer and editor and former editor of Grafik magazine. She has contributed articles to Eye, Icon, Crafts and Etapes magazines and contributed to, authored and edited books including Public Address System (2006), Street Talk (2006) and for Laurence King Materials Process Print (2007). In 2012 she launched online magazine and design retailer Up Side Up.

Walk the LineThe Art of DrawingMarc Valli and Ana Ibarra

Drawing has always been a fundamental skill and good drawing skills allowed artists to grasp the reality around them. At the turn of the millennium, however, the general impression was that with the wide availability of computers, scanners, digital cameras and image software, drawing would dwindle into a marginal activity. In fact, the opposite happened: the enthusiasm for digital imagery died down and the ability to draw has become a treasured skill. Walk the Line: The Art of Drawing includes interviews with the artists about their relationships with technology and the conditions under which their works are shown and sold.

Marc Valli is the co-founder of retail and book-selling company Magma in the UK, and of visual art magazines Graphic and Elephant. He is the author of RGB (Reviewing Graphics in Britain) and co-author of Microworlds (Laurence King). Ana Ibarra graduated in Philosophy in Spain, where she was born. She came to London to study Product Design. She is currently one of the editors of Elephant magazine.

The Renaissance in EuropeMargaret L. King

In this deft recasting of the Renaissance story, Margaret L. King weaves together the many strands that made up this complex cultural movement. By marrying the best of earlier scholarship with more recent research, King shows how Renaissance history is today as much about the study of power, wealth, gender, class, honour, shame, ritual, and other categories of investigation as the literary and artistic achievements of a uniquely urban society that spread from Italy to the rest of Europe. Ultimately, she points to the multiple ways in which this seminal epoch influenced the later developments of Western culture and society.

Margaret L. King, is Professor Emerita of history at Brooklyn College and the Graduate Center, City University of New York. She is the author of several books on women, humanism, and Venice in the Renaissance, and is currently editor-in-chief of the Renaissance and Reformation online bibliography published by Oxford Bibliographies.

It’s a Stick-Up20 Real Wheat Paste-ups from the World’s Greatest Street ArtistsOllystudio Limited

This is the first book to look at an increasingly popular form of street art: the “wheatie” or wheat paste-up. Many street artists don’t graffiti or stencil any more but use pre-prepared paper images that can be taken down, thereby avoiding a vandalism charge. The book will show the work of 20 artists, with photographs of their work, an article about their work, and a fold-out paste-up. The fold-out pages are perforated so they can easily be removed. Some of the paste-ups will be laser cut with attaching tags so they can be popped out. There’s also an introductory interview with cult street artists Sten & Lex.

Ollystudio is a London-based creative studio working in print, film, and art direction. Books designed by Ollystudio include Guerilla Art, Art by Tattooists: Beyond Flash for Laurence King, and monographs of artists Paul Insect, JR, David Choe, and Vhils for the Lazarides Gallery. Ollystudio authored and designed The Street Art Stencil Book (2010) and Stencil Republic (2012).

No More Rules Mini Edition

Graphic Design and PostmodernismRick Poynor

The last thirty-five years have seen profound upheavals in the field of graphic communication. One by one, the old certainties about the techniques and purposes of graphic design have been questioned and torn apart. Jettisoning rules that no longer seemed relevant in the postmodern era, designers and typographers have reassessed their roles and forged experimental new approaches. No More Rules is the first wide-ranging critical survey to attempt to make sense of these international developments. Each of the book’s key themes—origins, deconstruction, appropriation, technology, authorship, and opposition—is illuminated by stunning examples of work that has changed the way in which designers and their audiences think about graphic communication.

Rick Poynor founded Eye magazine in 1990, edited it for seven years and is now its resident columnist. He writes about design, media, and visual culture for Blueprint, Frieze, Adbusters, The Guardian, and many other publications. His other books published by Laurence King include Typographica and Communicate.

American Modernism Mini Edition

Graphic Design, 1920–1960R. Roger Remington

This is the first comprehensive survey of Modernist graphic design as it emerged in America in the period from 1920 and 1960 in various media—advertising, information design, brand identity, magazine design, book design, and posters. It examines the great works which by mid-century had defined American graphic design. The book begins with a section devoted to the emergence of Modernism and its major historical influence, such as European avant-garde movements, popular culture, educational innovations such as the Bauhaus School, architecture, industrial design, and photography. The heart of the book includes the key works of mid-century Modernism as it matured into a fully-formed American style, bringing together such great names as Alexey Brodovitch, Lester Beall, Paul Rand, Saul Bass, Will Burtin, and Alvin Lustig. The final section looks at the impact of and reactions to this new movement as graphic design in America matured in the 1960s and beyond.

R. Roger Remington is Professor of Graphic Design at Rochester Institute of Technology, New York. His previous books include Nine Pioneers in American Graphic Design and Lester Beall: Trailblazer of American Graphic Design.

Design IncubatorA Prototype for New Design PracticePatrick Chia

Artist, craftsman, engineer, ethnographer, psychologist, entrepreneur, agent of change – is a designer one of these or a blend of all? What is a designer’s role in our current global and social landscape? The Design Incubation Centre was established to explore and probe these questions in depth within a rigourous and research-oriented context in the Division of Industrial Design at the National University of Singapore. Arranged by themes and consisting of documentary photographs, illustrated sketches, renderings and diagrams as well as articles and texts, this book presents an extensive archive of projects and workshops in product and research development. Interspersed with insights and reflections from team members past-and-present, this book serves as a handbook for designers who seek to incorporate unique, progressive methods and approaches into their personal or professional practices as well as a retrospective monograph on the Design Incubation Centre.

Patrick Chia is the founding director of the Design Incubation Centre (DIC). Established in 2006, DIC is Singapore’s first dedicated industrial design research laboratory. DIC’s unique team composition and broad-ranging capabilities have enabled it to work on diverse research projects and collaborative workshops with organisations in academia, government, NGOs, and the design industry.

Detail in Contemporary Bar and Restaurant DesignDrew Plunkett and Olga Reid

Bars and restaurants need to be assertive. Customers tend not to visit them to satisfy basic appetites for food or drink but for the social opportunities. Their interiors need to occupy the imagination of their customers and to whet the appetite for a return visit. The design that gets the formula right will do as much to prolong the life of the business as the products on offer. This book includes a wide range of international projects and for each one there is a descriptive text, color photographs, floor plans, sections and construction, and decorative details. A bonus CD-ROM contains all the drawings as printed in the book, in both EPS and DWG (generic CAD) formats.

Drew Plunkett was Head of the Department of Interior Design at the Glasgow School of Art. He is the author of Drawing for Interior Design (2009), Construction and Detailing for Interior Design (2010) and co-author, with Olga Reid, of Detail in Contemporary Retail Design (2012).

Olga Reid is a practicing interior designer at Urban Salon, London.
