Graphics Alive 2

by Victionary

This amazing new title reflects the true essence of the expression expect the unexpected. It's all about the things that enhance the space in which we live, things that infuse energy into the objects around us such as clocks, shoes, ornaments, umbrellas, chairs, tables, blankets, cups! Is there actually anything on this planet that cannot be enhanced with graphics the top international designers and artists with work featured within this book don't think so. Graphics Alive 2 is a worthy successor to the highly successful Graphics Alive, and further explores the powerful forms of graphic art and illustration that we experience in our everyday lives. It covers everything from fashion and furniture to toys, household goods, in-store decorations and shop windows. Works featured include items that embrace us from head to toe and transport us (both physically and mentally) near and far.

I just had to weed this from our collection due to lack of usage. It's a shame because it's a lovely book and has some incredible design pieces. It's very bright and colorful - very much my style. Many of my favorite designers appeared within the pages.
