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."

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).

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 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.

Record covers are a sign of our life and times. Like the music on the discs, they address such issues as love, life, death, fashion, and rebellion. For music fans the covers are the expression of a period, of a particular time in their lives. Many are works of art and have become as famous as the music they stand for—Andy Warhol's covers, for example, including the banana he designed for The Velvet Underground.This edition of Record Covers presents a selection of the best rock album covers of the 60s to 90s from music archivist, disc jockey, journalist, and former record-publicity executive Michael Ochs’s enormous private collection. Both a trip down memory lane and a study in the evolution of cover art, this is a sweeping look at an underappreciated art form.

With his instantly recognizable decorative style, Czech artist and Art Nouveau master Alphonse Mucha (1860–1939) defined the look of the fin-de-siècle. In evocative shades of peach, gold, ochre, and olive, his seductive compositions of patterns, flowers, and beautiful women became paradigms of the Belle Époque years.Mucha’s work permeated illustration, posters, postcards, and the advertising designs of his day. His striking posters of star actress Sarah Bernhardt were particularly famous. Alongside this delicate decorative work, Mucha also harbored strongly felt political ideas. With his monumental cycle The Slav Epic, he expressed his staunch support for Pan-Slavism, promoting the political independence of the Czech and Slavic nations from the Austro-Hungarian Empire.Compiled in association with the Mucha Foundation, this book presents key works and introduces the full reach of Mucha’s œuvre from patterned decoration to his book illustrations, posters, photographs and monumental paintings.

Following the worldwide success of his Poemotion trilogy, Takahiro Kurashima presents a title that is in no way inferior to the previous ones in terms of surprise and viewing pleasure. On the contrary: here, the motifs are combined to form a visual narrative that is revealed when the static basic image is set in motion by means of the striped foil. Then an astonishing panorama of unseen moirés and patterns unfolds. The artist uses the digital tools for his creations in a virtuoso manner. At the same time he continues to catch up with the great models of kinetic art. Moirémotion is a school of vision and offers contemplative recreation for our eyes.

Audio Erotica is a perfectly pitched visual anthem to home audio entertainment. Using sales brochures from the 1950-1980s, a symphony of graphic nostalgia tracks the technological progress of our listening pleasure. Remember roller-skating wearing your first Walkman? Or relaxing to easy-listening in your pure white Philips lounge? Or playing chess on your JVC tabletop radio? All these scenarios can be found in the geeky and rarefied world of the vintage hi-fi brochure, where graphic design and acoustic apparatus make magical music together. From austere post-war Britain to poppy pre-millennium Japan, Audio Erotica presents a nostalgic nirvana of the strangest and most significant period hi-fi brochures. Alphabetically listed, from Aiwa to Zenith, with Braun, JVC Nivico, Nakamichi, Sony and everything in between, this book will resonate with any music fan. Setting the tempo are the pipe-smoking, high-end separates (amplifiers, speakers, turntables) of the 1950s, followed by the swinging Dansette record players of the 1960s, the prog-brushed-metal music centres of the 1970s, and the sleek capitalist cabinet stack systems of the 1980s – not forgetting the aerobic stereo sound portability facilitated by the boom-box, and that final high-fidelity, hardware hurrah: the compact disc. All accompanied by questionable fashion decisions and acres of shag-pile carpet. The evocative brochures in Audio Erotica track the technological development of audio equipment before the digital download, while simultaneously revealing the way hi-fi was marketed to the listening public. With knobs on.
