Grafisk design

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!"
