Patterns Drusilla Cole Theme: Graphic Design By: Drusilla Cole Publisher: Laurence King Year: 2007 Pages: 240 pages Format: 17x24 cm Features: hardcover Languages: English ISBN: 978-1-85669-505-3 Pattern is back, and what better way to celebrate its revival than with a cool compendium of the best pattern design from around the globe? This exciting new book showcases some of the most innovative pattern designs, including graphics, textiles, fashion, furnishings, ceramics, tiles, wallpaper, and stationery. While many of the featured designers work commercially, others are independent players whose work is cutting-edge even though, or perhaps because, they don't follow conventional techniques or disciplined structures. Figurative, funky, abstract, pixel-based, graphic, or retro patterns are all featured in this visual feast of the best work to emerge in the last five years.
