In this collection of essays about visual culture, Rick Poynor directs a critical eye at brands, billboards, magazines, architecture, tattoos and trends in cosmetic surgery. A key target is the pervasiveness of sexual imagery in the market place and the media's symbiotic relationship with porn. Poynor shows how commerce exploits the blurring of art and advertising, and paints a vivid, not always comfortable picture of where 21st century design culture is heading. Poynor interviews architect Rem Koolhaas, satirical illustrator więcej...

In the introduction, the author explores a number of important themes, such as the development of vernacular traditions in timber housing, timber frame construction, environmental benefits and więcej...

More than a cheap article of clothing, the T-shirt is a portable personal ad, its wearer declaring their political/musical/social affiliations for the world to see. Since the 1960s, the T-shirt has provided a forum for expression where anti-war slogans mixed with early counter-culture classics such as 'Keep on Truckin', and tie-dye mingled with the debut of that hardy perennial, the tour T-shirt - album cover graphic on the front, venue details listed on the back.

The book's introduction examines the ways in which a raw material of diminishing quality (but abundant quantity) can be 'stretched' to więcej...

The restaurant boom of the past two decades has both been a breeding-ground for and relied heavily on arresting graphic design. At the top end of the market a restaurant's menu, matchbooks, business cards, signage and napkins are as important to the brand and image as its interiors. Lower down the scale, where design budgets tend to be tighter, they become absolutely vital. When you don't have the money for endless revamps of your interior how else do you differentiate yourself in a crowded market? It's here that graphic więcej...
