Описание: Whether as a complement to written content
or a stand-alone attention getter, illustration
is being used more and more often
to set prominent accents. Illustrations
have become a key component of advertising,
communication, reporting, and other
media. Because visual storytelling gets messages
across more effectively in our age of
information overload, illustration is gaining
in importance. It's no wonder that the
current spectrum of creative expression
represented by this technique is so vast.
Illusive 4 is the definitive reference of
contemporary illustration and these developments.
Showcasing the work of around
200 active illustrators --both established
names and new talents --from around the
world, the book demonstrates the dynamism
of this creative technique and documents
global trends. Some examples
surprise the viewer by integrating elements
from fashion sketching, figurative painting,
collage, and photography.
Astute texts describe how and where
illustration is being used today and put the
featured work into context. They explore
opportunities for illustration in fields
including advertising and merchandising
and for thematic topics such as fashion,
lifestyle, politics, and culture.
Illusive 4 makes it clear that illustrations
are not only used as decorative elements,
but to visually convey both content and
emotions. Because of its role as a transmitter
of information, the medium of illustration
is not limited by current fads. In fact,
much of the included work is characterized
by an impressive creative independence.
The results are as astounding as they are
inspiring.
Its scope makes Illusive 4 a rich source of
ideas for illustrators, painters, and visual
artists, as well as for graphic and editorial
designers. Its combination of images and
text offers added insights for editors, writers,
and anyone working in communication. In
short, the book is meant for everyone who is
passionate about illustration, as well as those
who are interested in new visual experiences
and are involved in their creation.

Описание: A new visual language that is both informative and entertaining is emerging at the nexus of information graphics, illustration, and tactile design. More and more data is being collected. We can access ever more information at any time and from any place. The fundamental challenge now is how to extract the most valuable news, the most surprising findings, and the most relevant stories from the flood of information that is available to us. A new generation of designers, Illustrated bys, and data journalists is addressing this challenge head on. They are developing a variety of new visual forms to depict information that can be classified as visual storytelling. The main idea behind visual storytelling is to take familiar image contexts and use them in a new way. By penetrating meaning and creating associations, abstract correlations can be visualized in a manner that is both easy to understand and aesthetically innovative. Today, visual storytelling is being used intensively in newspapers, magazines, websites, advertising, business reports, and museums. With its collection of inspiring, insightful, interactive, and entertaining examples, the book Visual Storytelling reveals how the contextualization of information is pushing the envelope of today's design and aesthetics.

Описание: More and more people are hitting the road to
the middle of nowhere. Along less-traveled
paths they are heading up mountains and
down dunes in converted mobile homes,
campers, trucks, or vans. They are enjoying
the drive and the view through mud-splattered
windshields as much as the stops and
evening campfires amid stunning terrain.
Although many of us love living in cities,
we have a growing longing to escape
into nature. The outdoor scene is booming
and many people are heading off to discover
it with their own converted vehicles. This
way, they can determine their own routes,
itineraries, and pace, as well as how many
challenges they'd like to meet along the
way. After a day on the go, these multifunctional
vehicles also serve as kitchens, campgrounds,
and sleeping quarters that offer a
great deal more improvised fun than a standard,
perfectly equipped RV. Conventional
luxuries are eschewed for the sake of greater
freedom, tranquility, and adventure.
Off the Road captures the special mood
of such trips by solo travelers, couples, or
families who are seeking an alternative to a
more standard vacation or want to live their
lives differently --at least for a while. On
the one hand, the book shows how familiar
models, such as VW buses, Land Rovers,
jeeps, and Toyotas are being rediscovered
and repurposed for these exploits. On
the other, it presents automotive dreams
turned into customized, homey vehicles
that offer tailgate breakfasts or roof beds to
better admire the stars and that can, in an
emergency, cross a river or drag a fallen tree
from the road.
Whether exploring the desert, showing
children the world, or navigating polar
landscapes, the journeys collected in Off
the Road are as unique as the people who
take them. From radical escapists to fans
of nature looking for their next trip, the
book celebrates the joy of being on the go
on four wheels.
