Dear reader, The cover of this year’s BIS Publishers’ catalogue makes a clear statement: the book was better. Okay, I love the movies too, as well as all things interactive, backlighted and moving, but still … books are my first love and will always have that special place in my heart.

analyses. An absolute must-have for architects.

By the way, Sofia Vyzoviti, whose Folding Architecture is in its 12th (!) printing as we go to press, adds a new title to the small book series as well. Soft Shells: a stunning 224 pages of form experiments with architecture and textiles, available now for only 12 euros.

Books speak to our minds without making a sound. Even without external audio input, when we tune in to their wavelength, their powerful message can become very loud and resonate deep in our brains, shining with the soft light of a candle or the burning intensity of a noonday sun.

Next: Back to the Future. Not the film! This is the title of a new memory game based on the absolutely wonderful photo series by Argentinean photographer Irina Werning.

With a great eye for detail and beauty, she recreates childhood pictures with the same adults, now grown-up, using the same clothes, scenery and facial expressions. Her project was all over trend blogs and national newspaper magazines and will be great to play in the memory game format.

Here is my pick of five shining books from the forthcoming titles from BIS Publishers.

The image of the Oscar reading the book is taken out of the forthcoming Never Sleep with the Director, one of the three new titles in the bestselling Ridiculous Design Rules series. Author Anneloes van Gaalen continues collecting ridiculous rules and striking images that contradict them or support them.

We love it - and we’re not alone, given the 35,000-plus Rules books sold to date.

Gold is the color of winners. We are inexpressibly proud that our bestselling This is Service Design Thinking has won the Gold award in the ‘Best Book Design’ category in the 2011 European Design Awards. It gets even better!

The book also walked away with the Best of Show Award, the best of all this year’s gold winners. A huge thank-you to designer Jakob Schneider and to the 14 jury members representing the major design magazines throughout Europe.

Inspiration is the title of a big and exciting new book that fits in with the topics that we have covered in our growing list of small books on form-generating experiments in architecture and design. Large and proud, Inspiration showcases dozens of novel (often digital) design methods for architecture, with hundreds of examples as well as academic and practical

I cannot end this pick of five without putting the spotlight on Sketching the Basics, the prequel to Sketching, which became a huge international bestseller and has now sold over 70,000 copies worldwide. The prequel is a step-by-step drawing course which may well become the ever-friendly companion of every design student in the world who sits before a blank sheet or screen wanting to sketch, but not exactly knowing how to start.

This is the book that shows you what you always wanted to know but had never had explained in a simple and efficient way.

I love that last sentence. Any book that delivers on that promise is as good as gold, if you ask me.

As ever, if you have a good idea for a new book or game, drop me an email. I would love to hear from you.

Kind regards, Rudolf van Wezel Publisher rudolf@bispublishers.nl

New > Open Design Now: Why Design Cannot Remain Exclusive

Open Design Now looks at design in the new networked world. Design is undergoing a revolution thanks to two forces: an emerging networked community that shares digital information about physical products and widespread availability of production tools and facilities. Design is becoming an open discipline, in which ideas are shared and a wide range of products is being renewed in a worldwide collaborative process. Open design empowers anybody and everybody to devise and distribute their own products, as it has happened in graphic design, music and film before.

Curated and edited by Premsela Foundation, Creative Commons and Waag Society this book presents essays, case studies and a lexicon of images related to the main topics.

“Openness is more than a commercial and cultural issue. It’s a matter of survival.”

Following the global success of Sketching, which has sold over 70,000 copies to date, authors Koos Eissen and Roselien Steur now bring out the sequel entitled Sketching: The Basics.

In fact, prequel would be a better word for this new book, since it is aimed towards the novice designer. Whereas Sketching shows you how to draw various aspects of shape and form, and serves more as a reference book, The Basics explains things in more detail, taking the reader by the hand and guiding him step by step through all the various aspects of drawing that novice designers come up against.

The Basics explains the rudiments of learning to draw both clearly and comprehensively using step by step illustrations, examples and strategies. You will learn to use and master the different techniques and also how to apply sketches in the design process.

It is the perfect book for those just start-ing out in sketching, for the first years of art and design courses, and for those who wish to revise the basics of good sketching; it is a simple and efficient way of learning all you’ve ever wanted to know but have never had explained to you.

Fashion is a multi-billion-dollar industry.

It’s not just about sketching an outfit, it’s about selecting fabric, developing buttons, sourcing a factory, negotiating prices, making patterns, seeing the final launch and selling garments. This multifaceted industry is exciting, enigmatic and endless. Although art colleges have an unceasing interest in the workings of the fashion industry, too many choose to focus on design rather than on the technical elements. Written for fashion graduates, newbie entrepreneurs and those in entry-level positions in the industry, Blue is the New Black demystifies the process of how to make a fashion collection accessible for all levels. It’s a reference guide, a buddy, and a bible of who, what and where. This guide is an A to Z of the whole fashion process of design, production and marketing. In that respect, it fills a gap in the market of books that give guidance for professionals embarking on or preparing for a career in the fashion industry.

People who buy Blue is the New Black want to know how to create a collection.

They want to roll up their sleeves and do it, but they need practical instruction on the different phases.

The first fashion A-Z of the whole fashion process

Susie Breuer has over 20 years of experience in the fashion industry. Her career has included positions at Karl Lagerfeld and more recently at Tommy Hilfiger and Pepe Jeans. She is currently an independent consultant to various fashion labels, based in Amsterdam.

GO Bicycle Design

Student concept 2

The GO is a commuter bicycle designed to facilitate “flow”, turning necessary, everyday journeys into joyful, imperturbable, and challenging experiences.

The bike’s construction entirely focuses on helping the rider “become one” with the bike through control and personal optimization.

The geometry of the stiff aluminium frame is made for agility and direct handling, while the carbon fibre fork and seat-stay enhance comfort by absorbing vibrations. Its fixed gear drive train (no freewheel, no gears) forces the cyclist to stay focused, and provides unbeatable speed and steering management.

Adjustability of gear-ratio (simply exchange the whole chain-case) and saddle/ handlebar height facilitate an optimal rider/bike relationship.

>The process of looking, reflecting, then looking again is essential to the deconstruction phase of ViP.

Vision in Design A Guidebook for Innovators Paul Hekkert Matthijs van Dijk

Paul Hekkert Matthijs van Dijk

Matthijs van Dijk is CEO of KVD design consultancy and Professor of Applied Design at TU Delft.

Paul Hekkert is Professor of Form Theory at the faculty of Industrial Design Engineering at TU Delft University in Holland.

The authors, design practitioners and educators, bringing together in this book 15 years of knowledge, have produced the first book about how designers can formulate a vision for new and appropriate products. They call this approach Vision in Product Design (ViP). It strikes a good balance between structuring the process of design while allowing the designers to take a personal position and fully express themselves in producing a product. It is both a method and a design philosophy.

Besides explaining what ViP is all about, this book offers a rich array of narratives, including conversations, cases, literature and creative materials and illustrative models and pictures. Through these different pathways the reader will better understand ViP and will be able to interact with the book, both in practice and in an educational context in more various ways.

Wimer Hazenberg & Menno Huisman —founders of design studio Booreiland

The last few years the web has become the standard for communication, advertising, socializing, financing and so on. A world consisting of bits and bytes. However, we are living in a world of atoms, filled with things created either by nature or by ourselves.

Some of these creations, especially consumer products, are becoming more outdated and obsolete every day.

It seems the digital world is of more use to us nowadays. Some even say the internet replaced ‘stuff’. Yet, we are still living in the atom world. Our body and senses have to interact with real things. Therefore, in the next few years it will become more and more useful to get physical products connected to the web. At web design studio Booreiland they call these kinds of products Meta Products, and they are taking on the adventure of designing them.

This book will be interesting for trendwatchers, product design agencies, advertising agencies, R&D departments, people in education or anyone interested in web and product design.

Mark Mückenheim is co-founder of the awardwinning architectural firm FRAMA Architects BDA in Dusseldorf Germany and a visiting professor and acting chair for architectural design at the Technical University of Munich. Juliane Demel is an assistant professor and research assistant at the Architecture Department of the same university.

Design methodology in architecture and design has changed significantly over the last ten years, taking on major significance. More than ever, graphic attributes are used in contemporary architecture. A number of these new design methods and applications emerged through the use of digital media, leading to a paradigm shift in the way we design. BIS Publishers has already showcased these new design methods in a series of small books on form experiments in architecture and design, such as Folding Architecture and Supersurfaces (Vyzoviti) and Modular Structures (Agkatidis), but no comprehensive book on the topic had been published until now. Inspiration is doing just that, aiming to achieve a full overview of these exciting new topics from an authentic theoretical and practical background.

By presenting high-quality design works, new work methods, underlying ideas and comprehensive theories, the publication bridges a gap between longcherished classic design techniques (proportions, grids, spatial elements, etc.) and new schools of thought.

The publication contains examples of outstanding architecture, as well as many illustrations, models, sketches and renderings on the topic.

Where Folding Architecture explored folding as a design method in architecture, and Supersurfaces showed experiments in a fusion design field between product design, fashion and architecture, the new Soft Shells investigates textile as a retro-novel architectural device which is porous and deployable. The book is lavishly illustrated with form experiments and has three essays that provide the reader with a state-of-the-art context for the architectural discourse on formgenerative surface.

In 2003, Michel van Tongeren wrote Retail Branding, which was reprinted several times. In this book, he introduced the Platform Development Model, a method explaining a holistic approach to developing retail brands and formulas. His approach was holistic in the sense that the customer experiences the whole retail operation in a single visit.

Now, eight years later, Michel and his company, SVT Branding + Design Group, have expanded his model by exploring the whole customer journey.

They found that not everything starts with the brand; the outside world is as important as the brand attitude.

In his new book, 1 to 1 The Essence of retail branding in the ever changing world, Michel connects the inside with the outside approach, following the customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey from the couch at home to buying the physical product and covering all the steps in between, offline and online. The book is practical and inspirational. As a manual for retail brand and formula development, it offers many practical examples and cases and is easy to use. It is also inspirational because it speaks about our lives, our changing attitudes and about our favourite pastime: shopping!

In a comparison of Cheltenham Old Style (Regular), Bold and Bold Condensed, Roethlein found Cheltenham Bold to be legible at a larger distance than both the Regular and Bold Condensed fonts, a finding that not only suggests that wider fonts are more legible at a distance than narrow fonts but also indicates that bold weights on non-reflective material have superior distance performance compared with regular weights.

READING LETTERS designing for legibility Sofie Beier

Related: Creative Characters, p. 69 Shaping Text, p. 24

Sofie Beier is a research assistant professor employed at The Danish Design School. She has a PhD from the Royal College of Art in London in typeface familiarity and its relation to legibility.

Few of us will appreciate whether the typeface we read is legible, but we quickly notice if it is not. Creating type for optimal legibility is therefore an ungrateful task, since readers only register your failures. For instance, typefaces presented under difficult reading conditions, such as small font sizes in lowquality newspaper print, or street and building signs viewed from afar, need to be created in specific ways to function optimally.

This book will not only help type designers create high-legibility typefaces, but also help graphic designers determine the optimal typeface for a given project. To understand the topic in depth, two very different areas of expertise have been consulted. One area is that of punch cutters and designers whose professional experience confers upon them useful knowledge that can help us better understand the various aspects of the matter; the other is that of academic reading research, a field in which a significant amount of relevant scientific studies have been carried out over the years.

Reading Letters is a serious and engaging compilation of knowledge from the design and scientific communities, supplemented by visual examples of legibility. A must-have for type designers and graphic designers.

Like A Creative, Act Like A Businessman And Design

Like A God 7

6 INTRODUCTIOONN INTRODUCTI This book is a practical guide to graphic design and being a graphic designer. It is full of tips and tricks to make you design better, help you work smarter and give you a deeper understanding of the finer points of graphic design.

My privileged position When I was at College, there was one computer. It looked like a machine from a 1970s Russian Submarine and nobody knew ow to work it.You had to book it a week in advance and a technician would sit with you and point at the screen and say things like ‘try holding down caps lock’.

Our tutors taught us to hand-render type with markers and paintbrushes, layout a magazine spread or design something ‘off the wall’. They didn’t teach us to be creative. We all taught each other how to be creative. Meanwhile the tutors were in the ‘computer silo’ experimenting with holding down ‘caps lock’ and ‘control’ at the same time.

Anyway, that’s why you went to College/University, to be in a creative environment, see what other would be designers were doing and drink lager.

As I went along my career path, the graphic design industry changed massively. Along came computers that didn’t require their own silo. Designers acquired more and more responsibilities, responsibilities that used to belong entirely different careers. Designers now have to be well versed in re-touching, artwork, reprographics and a stack of other skills.

Today’s designers don’t even contemplate how many roles they now have to play, it’s all taken care of in the ‘default settings’.

Design, good design, is like life – not about default settings.

After a 25-year career in graphic design, I’ve picked up a few things and turned them into ‘custom settings’. Read this book and save yourself 25 years.

64 THE PRINCIPLES OF TYPOGRAPHY Fonts and Typefaces In the olden days, Font and Typeface meant different things.

A Font was a set of letters in hot metal that a foundry would sell to a printer or compositor. In his box he would get lots of Es and As and a few Zs. A typeface is what you select for style, readability etc. It’s not a biggie, and you will bore most people at dinner parties if you talk to them about it.

Serif and Sans serif There is a system for type classification which uses terms like Transitional, Geometric, Egyptian, Humanist, Evangelist, Extremist and Soprano. Using it won’t make you a btter designer.The overarching classification for typefaces are Sans serif and Serif.

Serif Serifs were invented by the Romans, who didn’t speak a lot of French, but they did invent our alphabet. They chiselled away writing notes to themselves and the style of the text had little ‘decorations’ at the end. Probably something to do with the chisel. Serifs also perform a task (as do Sheriffs). When we read, particularly large amounts of text, we do not read each letter. Our brain has become accustomed to the shapes that letters make to form words – we read the shapes. Serifs help join the groups of letters together, therefore, theoretically, serif text is easier to read.

Newspapers, books and large documents are set using serif typefaces. Nothing worse than a daunting slab of text set in Futura.

Serif Bembo 36pt

These bits make a typeface a serif. Not to be confused with Sheriffs.

Everyone is a typographer. This is the inevitable conclusion when looking at the way in which today’s computer users are forced to make decisions about fonts and layout for their day-to-day communication. Writing, typesetting and printing have become part of almost everyone’s experience. However, many users are clueless about how fonts work, what constitutes a functional layout and how to communicate best with readers. There has even been a decline in basic typographic knowledge among young design professionals. And yet, a thoughtful and purpose-driven shaping of text lies at the basic of effective, powerful graphic communication.

Shaping Text takes a practical and broad approach to typography. It is aimed at design students and graphic designers, and also at those who are concerned with content. Showing a wide range of examples from first-rate designers across the world, the book examines why and how typographic designs work well in a given context.

It starts by looking at graphic products and examines the constituting elements, including type, image, ornament, layout, and colour.

The square was introduced in 1964 giving the brand name more space and a univocal image on all packaging and advertising.

The current Lego logo (‘leg godt’ means ‘play well’ in Danish) can be traced back to 1953 when the cartoony white lettering was introduced, symbolizing free spirit and connection (the black line connecting two dots). The recently developed inter locking bricks gave children the freedom to build whatever they wanted.

By 1973 Lego was world famous, which made the term ‘System’ redundant. The restyled logo cleverly incorporated the yellow in a way that made the brand name even more unique and stand out better from the red background.

In 1998 the logo got it’s shape as we know it today with slimmer squared lettering and bolder black outlines for better readability.

Apple’s first logo was a complex picture, a tribute to Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree, captioned with a phrase from Wordsworth: “Newton... a mind forever voyaging through strange seas of thought... alone”, with a tag line containing the brand name: Apple Computer Co. This is where the short history of the Apple logo begins. The apple shape was introduced not long after, with a bite taken out of it to increase brand recognition, first with rainbow colours and later in monochromatic tones.

In Logo Life, you can read the short histories of the Apple logo and 99 other logos for world-famous brands, seeing all the little steps and great leaps in the visual evolution of these logos, as well as some of their most iconic uses in brand advertising.

Marije Vogelzang has been designing eating concepts for 10 years now.

Her primary interest is in the verb ‘to eat’. She does not design the food itself, leaving that in the expert hands of nature. What she designs is more the act of eating itself and everything that surrounds that act. This 3rd printing of Eat Love is an extended edition, incorporating her latest projects and personal notes on some of her most striking eating projects.

Eat Love won the 2010 Gourmand Cookbook Award, not because of the recipes – you will not find those in this book – but in appreciation for the way her design projects inspire readers to view the act of eating from a totally new perspective.

New brands are created every day and everywhere around the globe, but only a few succeed in finding a place in consumersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; minds and hearts. These successful brands often have a story to tell; many are authentic and innovative.

IKEA, Apple, Google, Innocent, Tiger beer, Starbucks: all are great brands with great brand stories. But what makes a good independent brand? And what are the independent brands of tomorrow?

This book delves into the world of indie brands: brands that are driven by entrepreneurs and creative people who are independent, who have a unique story to tell that is an intricate part of the brand.

These cutting-edge indie brand developers have great brand design, smart marketing and an innovative approach, in the sense that they are genuinely new or are reinventing a familiar product or service in an entirely new way.

Besides a short interview with the founder or creator of the brands, the book also shows the workspace where the brand is created and the things these creative entrepreneurs surround themselves with.

The visual manifestations of the brand are naturally also included, such as packaging, communication materials and other visual eye candy.

Anneloes van Gaalen is a writer, editor, curator, translator, lecturer, producer and all-round creative. Her articles have been published in a wide variety of international publications, including Wired, Dazed & Confused, I.D. Magazine and Surface. More recently she wrote Loser, a book on failure and design, and has been working on other design-related publications.

Graphic design conversation is awash with clichés. This book goes some way to poking fun at the ridiculousness of a few of them including my firm least-favourite “Think Outside The Box”. If you can handle reading them one more time van Gaalen makes some funny observations.

- It’s Nice That

Anneloes van Gaalen never stops researching ridiculous rules in creative sectors and we are thankful for that, because it produces more of these wonderful and bestselling Ridiculous Design Rules books, which make perfect gifts for creative people and those who love creative work. Five books have been published and reprinted (!) so far, and we are now pleased to announce the next three new titles: Never Sleep with the Director and 50 other Ridiculous Film Rules, Never Photograph People Eating and 50 other Ridiculous Photography Rules and Never Paint

by Numbers and 50 other Ridiculous Art Rules.

These three fields of creativity will attract the interest of the general public, besides of course appealing to the professionals working in these sectors. For each of the 51 rules covered in each book, Van Gaalen refers to quotes by famous fellow creators, who either think there is something to the rule or have made a personal variation on it.

Jan Gauguin is an experienced practicing designer and has since the late 1980s been investigating digital means of visual communication. He has taught communication subjects at Kingston University (Surrey, England), Oslo School of Architecture and Design and The National College of Arts & Crafts (Oslo, Norway).

Designing Diagrams is a guide to the world of diagrammatic presentation of facts, figures, thoughts, processes and relations. The practice of designing effective diagrams in order to present information graphically, is an essential element in a designerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skills set.

Often the one in which most designers struggle to find the most effective solutions. Diagram design is a very under-represented category in the book market, even though many designers are required to create and present diagrams to clients on a regular basis.

The effective design of a diagram is an art form in itself in that the creator must decipher complex information and put it into an easy-to-understand format that is accessible and visually pleasing to the end user. It takes an understanding of the practice to create effective diagrams, and this book presents the information and inspiration that will allow designers to put the art into practice.

This book will serve as a visual resource and course manual for designers, students and professionals, but should also prove useful to statisticians, economists and teachers.

This is the second album of Pro Stress, the hilarious but also sometimes uncomfortable daily comic by Han Hoogerbrugge. In the work of draftsman/animator Han Hoogerbrugge, the artist wrestles with humour in everyday life and investigates his obsessions, neuroses and emotions.

Stress is one of the emotions with which Hoogerbrugge thrives well on, in contrast to most people. Stress gives him a kick, making him able to do many things at once, achieving a workflow in which many new ideas crop up.

Pro Stress #2 collects over 200 new short cartoons in which Hoogerbrugge observes the world, in delightfully humorous fashion. Besides the protagonist, who has always been an alter ego of Hoogerbrugge himself, the comics depict such famous figures as Sylvio Berlusconi, Vladimir Putin, Karl Lagerfeld, the Pope and many more, playing their parts alongside to the heroes from the first volume of Pro Stress, like David Lynch and Quentin Tarantino.

Random acts of kindness have been shown to increase everything from self-esteem to happiness level. At the same time, the paradox of choice is known to increase our cognitive load to a degree that makes us frustrated and, ultimate-y, dissatisfied. So how do we reap the benefits of acts of kindness without straining our brains at the myriad possibilities?

Get your hands on Dice for Change – a wonderful designer set of dice featuring pictograms that help us choose a good deed for the day. The dice come in three varieties: Kindness (with acts like smiling, paying a compliment and other ‘do good to others’ options), Wellness (with prompts to take the stairs, have a good laugh, slow down, and more ‘do good to yourself’ assignments), and Eco (tapping into your green conscience with reminders to separate your trash, unplug devices on stand-by, get reusable shopping bags and more ‘do good to nature’ tips).

The galactically lucrative world of selfhelp has always had one major weakness: it requires you to read self-help books. For a more enjoyable (and less time-consuming) path to enlightenment, look to Dice for Change. Dice for Change is a project by Dutch creative studio Creative Heroes.

Forget about Deepak Chopra, here is Dice for Change Wonderfully produced and packaged set of Dices Helps to do a good deed everyday

In creating this memory game, Marije Vogelzang selected food that has a specific and consistent effect on our body. In the You Are What You Eat memory game, the task is to find sets of corresponding cards, and correctly matching a food to its effect on our body. Examples include cola and burping, garlic and bad breath, pepper and sneezing, spinach and physical strength and so on.

Beautifully photographed and enhanced with funny illustrations by Marije, this game guarantees hours of playing fun around the kitchen table and may inspire players of all ages to experiment with experiencing these effects on their own bodies. Be careful with the red hot chilli peppers!

Irina Werning was born and lives in Buenos Aires, but studied photojournalism at Westminster University in London. In addition to winning the Ian Parry Scholarship and the Gordon Foundation Grant, she was selected for the Joop Swart Master Class (World Press Photo Organization).

As children, we all stood completely naked on our beds holding nothing but an accordion, but would we be willing to replicate that exact pose a couple of decades later? Wouldn’t that be crazy?

That’s what photographer Irina Werning is doing in her Back to the Future project. She is taking different people’s favourite old school photos and recreating them in the same space, with the same clothes, attributes and with the same person, who is generally at least 20 years older than when the first photo was taken.The results are usually hilarious and always fascinating. Werning’s remarkable attention to detail makes you look again, again and again.

The Back to the Future project has taken the internet by storm, generating many enthusiastic blog posts and articles in mainstream print media. We are very proud that she agreed to allow us to convert her project into a game in the ever-growing line of creative memory games from BIS Publishers.

For the game, Irina will create new sets of childhood pictures and her recreations of them, using people from London, Amsterdam, Paris and other European cities.

The lack of a good manual led the authors of this book, who both teach design drawing techniques, to take the task into their own hands. The result is an incredibly broad and practical survey of sketching techniques for product designers. This book can be regarded as a standard book on design sketching for product design students.

Eat Love

Inspired

Marije Vogelzang has been designing eating concepts for 10 years now.

Her primary interest is in the verb ‘to eat’. She does not design the food itself, leaving that in the expert hands of nature. What she designs is more the act of eating itself and everything that surrounds that act. This 3rd printing of Eat Love is an extended edition, incorporating her latest projects and personal notes on some of her most striking eating projects.

Inspired has returned by popular demand. The authors of this book asked themselves the question of where ideas come from. Armed with a tape recorder and a digital camera, they set off around Europe and interviewed some forty creative thinkers from a wide variety of disciplines. The thinkers showed them their sketchbooks, notepads and bottom drawers and allowed the authors to photograph theirs desks and idea walls, and told them what gets their creative juices going. So we all feel inspired.

Visual Power Memory Game

Fake for Real Memory Game

Street Style Memory Game

The photographs on the playing cards of this game are picture montages sampled from images imprinted on our visual memory as icons of the mass culture in which we live. This surprising and contemporary version of the memory game is great fun to play and good for training people’s power to remember. It guarantees hours of amusement around the kitchen or dining room table.

The images of Fake For Real - both historical and contemporary - playfully visualize the classic theme of fake and real. The fun isn’t just in playing the memory game, but also in the surprising, slightly dissimilar images. Can you tell what is fake and what is real?

This memory game challenges players to find combinations of faces and legs of young people with special characteristics and street-style clothing. These are beautiful photographs of people from all nationalities, photographed in the streets of Amsterdam during 2009

by Belgian photographer Barbara Iweins.

Based on their clothing, their attitudes and backgrounds, players can join the slightly enlarged faces with the rest of the bodies.

Modular Structures

Bio-structural Analogues

Eccentric Structures

This book examens morphogenetic processes based on a combination of digital and analogue modelling and manufacturing techniques. The visual studies shown in this book have been produced in the academic context of the Technische Universitat Darmstad in classes and workshops held by the author.

This inspirational book seeks to discover the architectural potential of biological structures as can be found in nature, in the world of seashells, corals, plants and animals. The structures that give biological forms strength, movement, firmness and flexibility are studied, illustrated and used as an inspiration for a huge number of design experiments, of which the thinking, working and final prototyping process is shown in this book.

This book presents studies in architectural form focusing on the relationships between force, form and space to develop structure. The design processes of different structures vary from inherently unstable forms to multi-span spaces in buildings to the creation of multi-layered spaces within physical shells.

Understanding Design

Dutch Design very often has a high opinion of itself. Rubbish, says Joost Overbeek. Joost is Dutch and a designer, so he should know. This book is an anthology of Joost’s written and visual columns previously published in Revu, Vormberichten, Credits, Webber, as Boomerang postcards or recited at the O.P.A. in Arnhem. At last a book about design that makes you laugh out loud, whether you agree with Joost or not.

To mark the 10th anniversary edition of the Dutch Design books published in collaboration with the Dutch Design Association BNO, we have produced a special limited edition, which consists of a beautiful durable box in which you’ll find the set of books, a very exclusive Dick Bruna/Dutch Design T-shirt and some buttons. The T-shirts are in two colors - blue and orange - and can only be ordered via www.bispublishers.nl.

What does it mean to be a designer and what does it take to be a good designer? This book stimulates designers to think about what they do, how they do it and why they aim for a certain effect. Understanding Design is a much used book at various academies and universities worldwide. This edition contains more than 170 essays and is updated with the latest design science for students and practitioners.

Identity 2.0

Blood In Blood Out

Dutch Architects 9

From the concept of identity, Identity 2.0 looks at current and future issues that influence businesses, institutions and service-oriented organizations. It connects identity as the driving force behind innovation and change processes to social and economic topics – illustrated with case studies and opinions of creative and business companies which have an interesting view of the topics.

Dutch designer Floor Wesseling dived deep into the phenomenon of heraldry, the visual coding system from the 15th century by which families, kingdoms and armies could be identified. Today we can find a lot of similarities on the jerseys of football clubs. This book combines jerseys from different football teams into new combined jerseys and in doing so tells emotional stories about rivalry, social communities and latterday football battles.

The ninth edition of this most comprehensive overview of Dutch architecture today. Thise book is an excellent way of gaining a first visual impression of the signature style of Dutch architects and what they have to offer, while the website www.archined.nl is a handy tool for selecting offices by objective criteria.

Never Leave the House Naked

The Medium is the Message

The world of design is inundated with a seemingly endless list of rules. They’re familiar sayings that some designers consider to be valuable words of wisdom, but others think of them as mere restrictions. Whichever side of the fence you are sitting on, you’re bound to find this book a source of inspiration.

The international fashion police is a force to be reckoned with. Armed with an endless list of rules, it acts as both judge and jury in dealing with those guilty of committing a crime against fashion. While some of these rules are nothing short of ridiculous, others serve as words of wisdom that can help prevent committing a fashion faux-pas.

Every single day we’re bombarded with a regular onslaught of advertising.

The paper you read, the magazine you buy: they all feature ads. It has been called the greatest art form of the 20th century, as well as the biggest evil.

Whether or not you believe in a thing called ARTvertising, you’re sure to find this list of 51 rules enjoyable.

Pacifist Punks

Purists are boring

The very productive Dutch design agency Studio Kluif keeps on bringing home international and national design prizes for their playful design projects ranging from graphic design, illustration, and packaging to design for fashion.

This is their third monograph with BIS Publishers following Purists are Boring (2006) and Pacifist Punks (2009). This book, once again, shows that Kluif goes straight to the core.

This is the follow-up title to Purists are Boring, showcasing more design projects by Dutch graphic design studio Studio Kluif. This book again shows that Kluif goes straight to the core. They don’t like showboating and pretentiousness is their favourite target. Their style is called direct, playful and simple, with a sense of humour and relativity. Kluif is all about colours and they show their true ones every day.

After working for several years as designers for Oilily, 1999 saw Paul Roeters and Jeroen Hoedjes set up Studio Kluif in ’s-Hertogenbosch. Their work is often very graphic, expressive and illustrative.

This special, first published monograph of Studio Kluif includes a wide range of this bureau’s work, including magazines, postcards, children’s cookbooks, displays, clothing prints and packaging.

Modern Living

Pro Stress

Good 50 x 70

This book and full-length DVD show the unparalleled and offbeat work of one of the most original and popular artists/animators currently active on the Web and beyond: Han Hoogerbrugge.

Topics include animation and sound design for his groundbreaking flash animation series Hotel, Nails and of course Modern Living/Neurotica.

In a follow-up to the overview Modern Living: The Graphic Universe of Han Hoogerbrugge, BIS presents the cartoon album of Pro Stress, the Internet project that occupies Han Hoogerbrugge on a daily basis. In the work of draftsman and animator Han Hoogerbrugge, the artist wrestles with humour for everyday life and investigates his obsessions, neuroses and emotions. In Pro Stress, over 200 short cartoons have been collected in which Hoogerbrugge observes the world and observes people like David Lynch, Nick Cave and Dr. Phil.

The communications industry spends most of its time promoting beer and trainers rather than issues that really matter. The creators of the Good 50x70 project decided to create a project to reward creativity in social communication and provide charities with a database of posters they could use for free for their campaigns. Good 50x70 collects the best responses to seven briefs from seven charities addressing seven critical global issues, selected by an international jury of designers.

Digital Manufacturing

Bio-structural Analogues

Eccentric Structures

This book examines the possibilities emerging for design and architecture by the introduction of novel CAD and digital manufacturing techniques. The insights are presented and organized within five techniques: cross segmentation, accumulation, frameworks, loops and folding. The studies were created during the design seminar ‘analoguedigital’ held by Asterios Agkathidis at the Technical University Darmstadt.

This inspirational book seeks to discover the architectural potential of biological structures as can be found in nature, in the world of seashells, corals, plants and animals. The structures that give biological forms strength, movement, firmness and flexibility are studied, illustrated and used as an inspiration for a huge number of design experiments, of which the thinking, working and final prototyping process is shown in this book.

This book presents studies in architectural form focusing on the relationships between force, form and space to develop structure. The design processes of different structures vary from inherently unstable forms to multi-span spaces in buildings to the creation of multilayered spaces within physical shells.

The book is based on studies of the Department of Architecture at the School of Design and Environment of the National University of Singapore.

It shows the results of Sophia Vyzoviti’s design method of design through folding. The research in here goes a step further using more durable materials than paper but with similar qualities.

Everyone is a Designer In The Age of Social Media

This book shows the expanding field of graphic design from 1900 right through to 2020. It showcases visual rhymes between the medium-independent visual productions of today with their historical counterparts. Besides these visual rhymes, the book offers text contributions by international authors who sketch a picture of the new fields of creativity that graphic designers will explore in the coming decade.

In 2001 BIS published the first Everyone is a Designer. The editors now revisit its subject based on the assumption that since 2001 the proposal of the democratization of the design world has become reality. This edition looks at the position of design itself in the ever expanding areas it finds itself in. With visuals, quotes and short essays the book presents a new manifest for the design economy of 2010 and beyond.

Also featured: Rem Koolhaas’s talking to Galahad Clarke about United Nude, their new avantgarde shoe design adventure. Mairie Duthie interviews Paul Smith, Diesel and Levis about ‘real brands’. Also, a look at Patriotism & Flags and their relationship with brands and logos and an interview with Berlinbased fashion designers Bless.

Graphic 04 sets out to explore the idea of the environment. What is around us varies from our eco-system, to a group of friends, the stars (be it in the astronomical, astrological or even in the cinematographic sense), heat waves, floods, disaster movies, loud neighbours or the end of print. In this issue’s essay Michael Evamy looks at the relationship between visual arts and environmental issues.

Graphic 08 goes to war against functionalism. If ‘ornament is a crime’ as Adolf Loos once declared, then most of those featured in this volume shall plead guilty of attempting to transcend functionality.

An animated trip through the contemporary psycho romantic trend towards the highly ornate, the infinitely rich and the compulsively detailed. Ornate! features work from a variety of contributors.

The ninth number of Graphic entitled The Story is about telling stories using images and concepts. The Story shows how illustrators, photographers, publishers, filmmakers, artists, advertising designers, architects and designers tell compelling stories in pictures. As always, Graphic offers an eruption of visual contributions that yield an equal number of wonderful stories.

Humour is a powerful tool in visual communication. Graphic 11, or Graphic Ha Ha, explores the various ways in which images and words can be combined (or not combined) to make us stop, look, frown, reflect, wince, grin, chuckle, shrink, shrug, smirk and, occasionally, laugh out loud. Slap-stick, absurd, dead-pan sarcasm, clever, devious, surreal, hysterical, obscure, twisted, sick, camp, offensive, ridicule...

In its 12th issue, Graphic sets out to explore the current craze for customization, allowing readers to draw, rip, glue-back-together, paint, design, spray or whatever they feel like doing to their own covers. Graphic editors asked creatives from around the world to come up with toys, t-shirts, CD covers, books, magazines, jeans, plates, notebooks, postcards – you name it – and then customize them.

Een ontwerp- en tekenboek om bij weg te dromen Dit is de Nederlandse editie van de internationale besteller van Nina Chakrabarti.

De Spontane Stad

Kost

The art of being a foreigner in Amsterdam

Het tijdperk van grootschalige stedenbouw is voorbij. Dit manifest is de kick-off voor een andere praktijk. Kleinschalige maakbaarheid in combinatie met Hollandse ondernemersgeest: dat is het uitgangspunt van Urhahn Urban Design.

De auteurs van dit boek pleiten in dit boek voor hun ‘Spontane Stad’. Met dit manifest wordt de discussie aangejaagd over de agenda van de stedenbouw in de eenentwinste eeuw.

Wie zich in de voedselketen verdiept, valt van de ene verbazing in de andere; obesitas en honger bestaan nog altijd naast elkaar en wereldwijd verspillen we evenveel voedsel als we opeten. Dit boek biedt essays, interviews, (foto-) reportages en artikelen over projecten van ontwerpers, kunstenaars en wetenschappers waarvan het werkt draait om de waarde(n) van voedsel.

Paula Kibbelaar is cultureel antropoloog en onderzoeker. Ze heeft in opdracht van de Baak Management Centrum vno-ncw onderzocht hoe het staat met de diversiteit binnen de Amsterdamse creatieve sector. Daarvoor interviewde zij zeventien kleurrijke persoonlijkheden over hun visies en ervaringen ten aanzien van wonen, werken en leven in onze hoofdstad. Dat maakt dit boek informatief en inspirerend.
