John Heskett wants to transform the way we think about design by showing how integral it is to our daily lives, from the spoon we use to eat our breakfast cereal, and the car we drive to work in, to the medical equipment used to save lives. Design combines 'need' and 'desire' in the form of a practical object that can also reflect the user's identity and aspirations through its form and decoration.This concise guide to contemporary design goes beyond style and taste to look at how different cultures and individuals personalize objects. Heskett also reveals how simple objects, such as a toothpick, can have their design modified to suit the specific cultural behaviour in different countries. There are also fascinating insights into how major companies such as Nokia, Ford, and Sony approach design. Finally, the author gives us an exciting vision of what design can offer us in the future, showing in particular how it can humanize new technology. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Från proggen, genom punken, syntarna till singer songwriters. Rock och blues på svenska. Folkmusiken och den klassiska repertoaren pågår under tiden. Här samsas genrerna i en och samma formgivares arbetsrum. Idéer, infall, erfarenheter landar i olika formspråk för olika uttryck för att det ska nå fram till olika musikaliska smaker.
Den svenska skivbranschen genom omslagen under 1970- 80- 90-talen och in i tvåtusentalet. Formgivaren Lasse Ermalm delar sina betraktelser om hur det sett ut och varför det såg ut som det gjorde. Artister ger sin syn på hur det gick till när somliga omslag blev som de blev.
Paradigmskiftet från analogt till digitalt fick påtagliga konsekvenser både för skivutgivningen och formgivningen. Hur förverkligade man overkliga bilder innan datorerna vidgade fantasins möjligheter att visualisera musik?
Musikjournalisterna Håkan Lahger och Lars Nylin skriver om den mobila konstutställningen som uppstod i skivaffärerna samt om det som genom tiderna egentligen varit det mest lönsamma för skivbolagen.
Du som själv köpte skivorna och du som blev indoktrinerad av föräldrarnas skivsamlingar, för dej fick en del omslag ikonstatus och många försvann spårlöst. Vad gjorde att somliga inte bleknade bort? Var det omslagsbilden eller var det musiken? Eller tvärt om, eller både och? Här finns LP-konvolutens stora påtagliga bildspråk, hittarna på singlar och EP, de mångsidiga CD-albumen och de maffiga boxarna att njuta av. Totalt mer än 300 skivomslag.
TV-inslag om boken: SVT, TV4.
"En av de mest produktiva omslagsformgivarna genom tiderna. Bredden är enorm. Från progg till punk. Boken påminner om bortglömda storsäljare som fanns i många svenska hem." (Jan Gradvall, Dagens Industri)
"2500 omslag senare borde Ermalm få en hedersgrammis, för att som ingen annan ha grafiskt formgivit den svenska rocken." (Jörgen Holmstedt, Rock 'n' Roll Magazine)
"Otaliga omslag samlade i den gedigna boken där formgivarens underhållande berättelser från arbetslivet blandas med texter om omslag". (Håkan Steen, Aftonbladet Nöje).

Det här är en kärleksförklaring till mönster. Samtidigt som det är en handbok och, kanske framförallt, en inblick i en formgivares värld av färg, form och fantasi. Lotta Kühlhorn, en av Sveriges mest älskade formgivare, visar oss tekniken och hemligheterna bakom mönsterdesign. Från klassiska prickar, ränder och rutor till inspiration från natur, matematik och berättande. Genom boken görs djupdyk i olika mönster och vi får följa resan fram till färdig form, med avstickare till personliga reflektioner. Vi får också lära oss att själva göra mönster, steg för steg. Allt vi ser omkring oss kan vara byggstenar – en nyckel, ett bananskal och en slickepott, blåstång och stegar. Allt i livet kan användas och repeteras.
"Boken är som ett vitaminpiller!"
Gokväll
"'Mönster' är en bok som framkallar den visuella lycka Kühlhorn talar om. Den inspirerar verkligen till kreativitet. Helhetsbetyg: 5."

The definitive illustrated history of the cult videogame – a heart-thumping fusion of groundbreaking graphic design, architectural futurism, electronic music and high-speed racing. WipEout crashed onto the scene in 1995, shifting games into the cultural fast lane with its unique 3D visual designs. It propelled a wondrous hit of anti-gravity, hyperspeed racing into the heart of the freshly released PlayStation console and, over time, the series – developed by Psygnosis, later known as Studio Liverpool – grew into a cult phenomenon amongst graphic designers and gamers alike. With its club-land branding – devised by cutting-edge Sheffield agency The Designers Republic, and its on-the-pulse collaborations with electronic artists, from The Chemical Brothers to Kraftwerk, WipEout was not only a racing game – it was a vehicle for art. WipEout Futurism chronicles the iconic game’s vision, struggles and achievements – from first conception to future plans, in a distinctive union of trailblazing artwork and graphic design. The extraordinary, and rarely seen, concept art created for the game is beautifully reproduced throughout the book, while The Designers Republic’s peerless vision for an alternative future – with its roots planted in the rich earth of sci-fi iconography – weaves its way throughout the pages, making this publication a densely packed expansion to the beloved series.

The complete, definitive and never-before-published catalogue of Hipgnosis, Vinyl • Album • Cover • Art finally does justice to the work of the most important design collective in music history, which, according to Roddy Bogawa, director of the documentary Taken by Storm (2011), ‘designed half your record collection’. Founded in 1967 by Storm Thorgerson, Aubrey ‘Po’ Powell and Peter Christopherson, Hipgnosis gained legendary status in graphic design, transforming the look of album art forever and winning five Grammy nominations for package design. Their revolutionary cover art moved away from the conventional group shots favoured by record companies of the day, resulting in the ground-breaking, often surreal designs which define the albums of many of the biggest names in the history of popular music: 10cc, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Peter Gabriel, The Police, Genesis, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Paul McCartney, Robert Plant, Syd Barrett, Throbbing Gristle, T. Rex, Wings, Yes and XTC, to name but a few. Arranged chronologically, Vinyl • Album • Cover • Art features stunning reproductions of every single Hipgnosis cover – 372 in total – coupled with detailed information by Po and Storm Thorgerson on the artworks and the compelling stories behind their creation. Additional contributions by Peter Gabriel, Marcus Bradbury, and Pentagram’s Harry Pearce provide engrossing insights into the way these incredible artworks came into being; place the covers in context; and reflect on their enduring impact on album design. A highly accessible stand-alone volume, Vinyl • Album • Cover • Art will also make the perfect pop partner to the groundbreaking Hipgnosis | Portraits (2014) with its rare revelations and behind-the-scenes photography.

The core idea for this book is the use of operative verbs as tools for designing space. These operative verbs abstract the idea of spatial formation to its most basic terms, allowing for an objective approach to create the foundation for subjective spatial design. Examples of these verbs are expand, inflate, nest, wist, lift, embed, merge and many more. Together they form a visual dictionary decoding the syntax of spatial verbs. The verbs are illustrated with three-dimensional diagrams and pictures of designs which show the verbs ‘in action’.This approach was devised, tested, and applied to architectural studio instruction by Anthony Di Mari and Nora Yoo while teaching at Harvard University’s Career Discovery Program in Architecture in 2010. As instructors and as recent graduates, they saw a need for this kind of catalogue from both sides - as a reference manual applicable to design students in all stages of their studies, as well as a teaching tool for instructors to help students understand the strong spatial potential of abstract operations.
