Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. When watching a masterful sketcher, it seems that they create elaborate sketches with ease, tracing their pencils on the page and bringing to life rich and detailed drawings. After sweating away hours trying to create a simple sketch, you may find that yours pales in comparison, looking amateurish and unprofessional. Why is it that you can't do what these 'masters' can? While many assume the difference comes down to accurate strokes and natural talent, you couldn't be further from the truth. Accuracy is not everything - confidence is. And, in this book, Hlavacs helps you to build up your confidence, moving through each layer of drawing and helping you understand exactly why one drawing looks more professional than another. This book breaks down the fear around sketching, walking you through how to create intricate sketches without difficulty. No other book teaches sketching in such a natural way, allowing anyone - no matter levels of talent or their past in drawing - to learn how to make this beautiful skill an intuitive process. Hlavacs demonstrates sketching as a pathway of logical steps, starting with the most basic elements and then adding further layers to the sketches as the book progresses. With a range of exercises to move through and pages filled with the psychology of why humans are drawn to certain sketches over others, this book will turn you into the master you've always admired. Instead of aiming for perfection, Hlavacs teaches you how to draw emotionally, using confidence in place of skill and understanding in place of talent. No matter who you are, The Exceptionally Simple Theory of Sketching will give you rules and demonstrations that will turn every sketch you create into a masterpiece.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Welcome to a world where everything seems "wrong": eating meat, smoking, sitting, flying, data, campfires, flowers on the table-even your houseplant might be a climate offender. We're flooded with dos and don'ts, as if daily life must constantly be corrected by a moral authority. But what if we didn't shrink back in shame? What if we moved forward-with imagination? The NO DESIGN MANIFESTO is a call for creative freedom. At Next Nature, we don't believe in going back to nature-we believe in moving forward. A nature where humans and technology co-evolve, not under rigid rules, but through new forms of play. Design shouldn't be a moral compass-it should be a living, breathing system, alive with potential. Instead of turning design into a lecture on good behavior, we see it as a space for radical curiosity. Not statements that align neatly with policy, but experiences that invite us to feel, think, and act differently. The future doesn't need perfection-it needs connection: between nature and algorithm, bacteria and emotion, human and more-than-human. Forget the checklist. Embrace the ecosystem. Don't fear the wild edges. The new manual? We're writing it-together. A world full of rules needs imagination. Design isn't about guilt-it's about play, possibility, and co-evolution.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The core idea for this book is the use of operative verbs as tools for designing space. These operative verbs abstract the idea of spatial formation to its most basic terms, allowing for an objective approach to create the foundation for subjective spatial design. Examples of these verbs are expand, inflate, nest, wist, lift, embed, merge and many more. Together they form a visual dictionary decoding the syntax of spatial verbs. The verbs are illustrated with three-dimensional diagrams and pictures of designs which show the verbs 'in action'.This approach was devised, tested, and applied to architectural studio instruction by Anthony Di Mari and Nora Yoo while teaching at Harvard University's Career Discovery Program in Architecture in 2010. As instructors and as recent graduates, they saw a need for this kind of catalogue from both sides - as a reference manual applicable to design students in all stages of their studies, as well as a teaching tool for instructors to help students understand the strong spatial potential of abstract operations. Verbs can be metaphors for how a building should look. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Some people are obsessively invested in climbing the social ladder. Author Nimrod Kamer (Vice, GQ) undermines this from within as he inserts himself in numerous political or celebrity events.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Many designs that appear in today's society will circulate and encounter audiences of many different cultures and languages. With communication comes responsibility; are designers aware of the meaning and impact of their work? An image or symbol that is acceptable in one culture can be offensive or even harmful in the next. A typeface or colour in a design might appear to be neutral, but its meaning is always culturally dependent. If designers learn to be aware of global cultural contexts, we can avoid stereotyping and help improve mutual understanding between people. Politics of Print is a collection of visual examples from around the world. Using ideas from anthropology and sociology, it creates surprising and educational insight in contemporary visual communication. The examples relate to the daily practice of both online and offline visual communication: typography, images, colour, symbols, and information. Politics of Print shows the importance of visual literacy when communicating beyond borders and cultures.
