With a selection of over 400 jewellery artists' creations from all over the world, this inspirational volume is the most comprehensive compilation on this subject and an important step in Nicolás Estrada's exploration of current trends in contemporary jewellery. A must-have for any professional or student of jewellery or fashion design, this work shows the versatile and dynamic nature of brooches and the many and varied materials and forms that they involve. Needing only a pin to secure it to the wearer's garment, this ornament is essentially a jewellery artist's blank canvas that invites endless creativity and offers more freedom of expression than any other form of jewellery. The brooch has continued to evolve and be reinterpreted over time, and it is playing a critical role in the development of new jewellery as a platform for artistic expression. Following the success of Estrada's New Rings, New Earrings and New Necklaces, New Brooches represents a valuable contribution to this series. The book features 400+ jewellery designs from 175 jewelers from 25 countries.

Packed with illustrative examples by renowned international artists and paper folders, we are introduced to different folding and cutting techniques for constructing such as origami, kirigami, leporello and the Turkish map fold while a wealth of practical easy-to-follow folding templates and diagrams motivate us to try them ourselves. This repertoire of shapes and structures is intended for artists, visual artists and teachers, as well as for lovers of handmade objects, scrapbooking and creative hobbies. Here you will find useful tools at the service of your imagination, as well as detailed explanations of the methods and creative processes of sixty working artists and creators from all over the world. With more than one hundred models, many of them previously unpublished, the book is a synthesis of classic origami and kirigami folds and arrangements of folds used for creating unusual books and booklets without binding, as well as the folding and cutting techniques that made them possible. While the models shown often use traditional origami and kirigami bases such as square and preliminary triangle bases and lotus and diamond folds, the reader is also exposed to ones that have been customized and reinvented. Jean-Charles Trebbi, author of The Art of Folding and The Art of the Cutting, takes the reader on an instructive tour of the various approaches of creators whose impressive artistry and craft have resulted in surprising, beautiful, eclectic and effective book forms. We learn about Masahiro Chatani, the inventor of Origamic Architecture; Shuzo Fujimoto, one of the pioneers of origami tessellation; and a host of contemporary masters including Martin Wall, Paul Jackson, David Brill, Bruno Munnar, Katsumi Komagata, Ed Hutchins, Paul Johnson, Hedi Kyle, Werner Pfeiffer, Alisa Golden, Joan Michaels Paque, and many others. With numerous templates for copying, the Art of Origami Books will inspire you to handle paper in new and inventive ways while exploring the many exciting possibilities of this ancient craft yourself.

This compelling book takes the reader on a journey showing how each logo has come into being and the process revealing best practices for extending a logo into a complete brand identity system. Logos are becoming increasingly simple, to the point where you might wonder just how much simpler they can get. A subtle tweak to a logotype is starting to feel like too much design. The appeal of a simple logo is that it feels more honest. Using client case studies from renowned designers, this is a must-have book for any graphic designer, student or logo fanatic in a fully revised, updated edition containing interviews with graphic designers in which they share their creative processes and thoughts on how a successful logo should be developed.

This book is an excellent tool for learning to sketch on location. Through the "no drawing first" technique, readers will learn to use only watercolour and a brush to draw in notebooks, make quick urban sketches, keep visual journals and create compelling outdoor urban work. Designed like a workshop on the go, with more than fifty progressive exercises, this book invites you to experiment with watercolour by translating space and movement through shapes and color into masses and values rather than contours and strict rules of perspective. The author, a theatrical scenic painter, urban sketcher and urban sketching teacher, shows you how to represent the world around us. She encourages the reader to observe the place, to understand it, to learn how to choose the subject when capturing the place's soul, preserving the sense of the fleetingness of the instant described. The themes include vegetation, buildings and forms of people in movement.

Ideas are not born alone. They come from a process to a large extent organized and rational but sometimes unconscious and magical. In this book we can enjoy and learn from the creative processes of great graphic designers and creative voices around the world. Here we can find impulsive design versus more cerebral design; radical and avant-garde design alongside poetic, childish, commercial, intellectual, subversive and socially oriented design. 26 designers from 15 countries show us their workspaces, their personal notebooks and their creative processes. They teach us the keys to understand what is behind those magnificent works that inspire, thrill, impact or invite us to action. In this book the creative process itself is inspiration, a unique guide to creativity with storytelling and lessons on how to live your best creative life.

Cutting and sticking is really easy, anyone can do it and, with a few basic supplies, like paper, scissors and a bit of glue, you've got yourself a great kit to start working. Collage, conceived by Picasso and Braque at the beginning of the 20th century, and which the dadaists would incorporate later as an alternative, renegade response to traditional art, is a bit more than just cutting and sticking: it is experimentation, investigation, learning, and, a great deal of fun. If you inject some purpose or personal content into your clippings, you'll succeed in creating a language of your own which will allow you to express your worries or experiences visually. Collage will broaden our vision of the world, transforming and recycling images that already exist to create new ones with different meanings and new aesthetics, apart from the therapeutic, rewarding experience of the practice itself. This inventive activity art book, now in paperback, combines fun and focus, entertainment, and mindfulness. It includes a brief history of collage and practical tips and ideas to cut and paste, draw and paint, and sew and stitch using paper and everyday objects. Each double page proposes to look at things afresh, with suggestion and jumping off points to unleash the capacity for creativity and, ultimately, widen the horizons for expression. It includes 25 pages of cutouts. A whole world to discover!

Featuring ground-breaking visual merchandising and window displays in some of the world's most glamourous shops, straight from the creative minds of art directors, graphic designers and window display designers.
