Kurzbeschreibung
The second in this highly collectible new series translates the language of circles and dots in design. This colorful image-packed book showcases stunning examples of designs that incorporate these familiar motifs, but also explores the meaning and origin of these patterns and forms, and how they can be used in contemporary design to communicate a variety of messages and influences. From the dot and circle paintings of Damien Hirst, to polka dots, smileys, Pointilism, and corporate logos, this is an inspirational must-have to accompany the rest of the Communicating with Pattern family.
Synopsis
"Communicating with Pattern: Circles" celebrates the roundest, spottiest and dottiest design from around the globe, from every design discipline. Circles and spheres represent unity, and collaboration, from Venn diagrams to globes and roundtables. As the first shapes that toddlers learn to draw and recognize, circles communicate friendliness, and comfort, and - smileys and e-motions, and sun-faces - and are the most common devices in corporate logos and information point design, from the London Underground and Paris RER logos to Disney's Mickey Mouse - a design classic that brings together every aspect of the vocabulary of circles. Dots, meanwhile, present detail, information, and also absent information...But circles and dots can also be bold, confident, radical, and revolutionary, from Eero Aarnio's bubble chairs, to Damien Hirst's designs via the iMac, and the imaginative sweep of Frank Lloyd Wright's buildings. Circles show the big picture, dots the small; circles clarify, while dots are often mistaken for noise.
"Communicating with Pattern: Circles" is the second title in a new series for designers from every discipline, which offers a complete vocabulary of pattern as visual communication.
