Romantik

by Robert Klanten (Editor)

Romance is back in fashion, design and art. In the last two to three years vector design has been made softer and more human with elements done by hand. Now designers are playing with motifs that hearken back to an era way before desktop flowers, butterflies, hearts, candles, sunsets and ornaments. Through its presentation of classical romantic elements in outstanding examples of contemporary illustration, photography and graphic design this book defines a current version of "Romantik".

Reviews

Soft, beautiful, delicate. Good for getting inspired, though not MINDBLOWING or anything.

[Jen]

The front cover is the main highlight. The visual aesthetic it suggests isn't really reflected in the content inside, unfortunately...

[Kylos]

not entirely genius. but visually stimulating and sort of inspiring. modern graphics meet traditional images.
