As visual creatives, graphic designers are well informed about photography. They often carry around a camera, but rarely share the same concerns as professional photographers. As a result, the photographs they produce are distinctly unconventional and often appear in their design work — in fact, a glance at a designer's personal photography will offer vital clues into their working methods and obsessions. Selected from the personal portfolios of the world's most innovative and creative graphic designers, «Photographs by Graphic Designers» includes every type of photographic image, from macro details and funny moments, to found type, street scenes, rare objects, and monumental vistas. The book also includes personal portraits, quirky fashions, and organic and manmade colours, textures, and environments. Featuring work from big name international designers such as Armin Vit, Ellen Lupton, Sean Adams, Bryony Gomez-Palacio, Ann Willoughby, James Victore, Ed Fella, and Marian Bantjes, this is a unique and inspirational reference library of innovative imagery.

Outsize is the book for graphic designers needing to make their client's message stand out, but it is also of obvious appeal to those interested in the subject who can learn from the techniques of large scale design. Large scale graphics are strongly influenced by their context — where they're placed, how they interact with those who will view them, how suitable they are for the environment. The book explores and explains these factors so the designer's work will have far greater effect. It guides the reader through the potential pitfalls and hazards of using non-standard substrates such as brick glass or vinyls, and highlights issues of weatherproofing and structural properties. It also contains handy hints on managing the process, as well as collaborations with those in related fields such as product designers, sign painters, engineers and architects with its huge global range of contemporary examples. Outsize is both inspiration and information for 2-D and 3-D designers in all disciplines.

DemoGraphics is the first series of design books to examine how successful designs target specific audiences. Where other design books explore the ‘what?’ and ‘why?’ of design, DemoGraphics: Packaging dissects the ‘who?’. Through a huge selection of diverse examples, the authors examine how packaging is designed to appeal to specific groups based on gender, age, socio-economic group, disposable income, profession and shopping habits. Case studies and interviews with designers and brand owners explain how and why specific choices have been made, why it works and how it evolved from a prototype or concept to form successful, user-centred design. DemoGraphics: Packaging also offers designers a palette of ideas, materials, and inspirations with which to design their own targeted packaging. This is a vital text for both designers and brand, advertising, and marketing professionals and students.
