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!"

"'Mönster' är en bok som framkallar den visuella lycka Kühlhorn talar om. Den inspirerar verkligen till kreativitet. Helhetsbetyg: 5."

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).

I den här boken kommer man närmare och in i en grafikers vardag och får läsa om arbetet och hantverket bakom ett konstgrafiskt blad. Om man är nyfiken på hur grafik kommer till och på hur konstnärerna bakom de grafiska bladen arbetar ska man läsa boken. Man kan kortfattat läsa om de varierande konstgrafiska tryckteknikerna och om vad som är karaktäristiskt för en metod och hur det går till. Men boken är också tänkt som en källa till inspiration, för den som kanske vill börja en kurs i grafik eller arbetar med konst på ett eller annat sätt. I fokus är 25 kvinnliga grafiker verksamma i Östergötland. De arbetar med en konstform som har mycket långa anor, men som ständigt förnyas till teknik och bildspråk. Att vara östgötabaserad betyder bara att bo och arbeta i regionen. Det är en aspekt på konstnärskapet. Omvärldsorientering och dialoger, utblickar och inblickar, gör världen till arbetsfält med allt vad det innebär. Det visar denna bok. Det är 25 starka personligheter som intervjuas och berättar om sina konstnärskap och bildvärldar. Om tankar och idévärldar, inspirationer och rent praktiskt arbete, för att inte säga fysiskt slit, med nya och historiskt beprövade tekniker i grafikverkstaden bland tryckpressar, papper och dofter av färg. Att läsa om varje konstnär är lika spännande som att se bilderna av deras verk. Grafiken som konstform synliggörs i hela sin bredd och rikedom. Det behövs. Ett avslutande kapitel med fakta om gamla och nya tekniker, ordförklaringar och litteraturtips gör denna bok till en uppslagsbok över sitt tema: kvinnliga konstnärer och en oumbärlig konstform. Jag kan bara säga det igen: Detta är en nödvändig bok! STEFAN HAMMENBECK Konstintendent vid Östergötlands museum, filosofie hedersdoktor vid Linköpings Universitet, tidigare bl a chef för Skövde konsthall & konstmuseum och grafikvän. FÖRFATTARINTERVJU

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.

Led by founder and born rebel, Ian Anderson, The Designers Republic™ has shaped graphic communication over the past thirty years through rule-defying music work, provocative self-initiated projects and a fierce commitment to conceptual thinking over style. Now, for the first time in book form, Anderson explores the studio’s output, and its influence on a generation of graphic designers.

Alongside classic self-initiated TDR™ projects, the 512-page book features an A to Z of everything from campaigns for Evolution Print, Coca-Cola and Nike, through to the studio’s celebrated designs for video games such as Wipeout and Formula Fusion. TDR™’s special relationship with print is explored through its celebrated contributions to IDEA and Emigre magazines and its 3D>2D book, alongside its work for Manchester School of Art, Gatecrasher, NY Sushi and the studio’s array of music clients. Here, TDR™’s work with Autechre is examined via ten key releases, while the studio’s involvement with Pop Will Eat Itself focuses on some twenty-eight different singles and albums. There are also expansive sections devoted to TDR™’s designs for Aphex Twin, Moloko, Sun Electric and The Orb, alongside sleeve designs for R&S Records, New Atlantis, a range of Berlin-based labels and, of course, Warp Records.

The Shakers: A World in the Making aims to both examine the lasting impact of the Shaker legacy as well as the more unexpected facets of their production, ideology and way of life from a contemporary perspective. Established in the 18th century, the Shakers were a free church that embraced principles of social equality, communal property and pacifism, viewing labour and design as expressions of their faith. The Shakers’ radically simple, functional objects have had a profound influence on modern design, inspiring generations of artists, architects and designers up to the present day. The Shakers: A World in the Making accompanies the eponymous exhibition – designed by the Milan-based studio Formafantasma – which will showcase a wide range of Shaker furniture, architecture, tools and commercial goods. Works by contemporary artists and designers enter in dialogue with the historic exhibits, reflecting on the Shakers’ enduring relevance. The publication includes a rich array of thematic essays contextualizing the Shakers within the wider design, architecture and art canon, detailed studies of selected exhibits as well as personal contributions by the participating artist. Contemporary object and architectural photography offers a fresh perspective on one of the most compelling communal experiments of recent centuries. With contributions by Glenn Adamson, Aaron Betsky, Jeffrey de Blois, Amie Cunat, David Hartt, Chris L. Halstrøm, Mea Hoffmann, Christien Meindertsma, Sarah Margolis-Pineo, Kameelah Janan Rasheed, Shoshana Resnikoff and others.
