Abstract

Images are omnipresent in our digital age, but they're worth a closer look. Many of them can tell us stories in new and surprising ways. 'Fotoviz' reveals how infographics and data visualization are currently impacting photography and points to innovative possibilities for the future. Today, data is being visualized through photographic techniques such as long and multiple exposures. Insightful information is being communicated by making a single image out of several different shots or using a 3D perspective. The work featured in 'Fotoviz', to cite only a few compelling examples, makes invisible Wi-Fi fields visible, allows airport flight activity from a full day to appear as if it were happening at once, and illustrates the average selfietaking behavior of an entire city.

Abstract

Whether as a complement to written content or a stand-alone attention getter, illustration is being used more and more often to set prominent accents. Illustrations have become a key component of advertising, communication, reporting, and other media. Because visual storytelling gets messages across more effectively in our age of information overload, illustration is gaining in importance. It's no wonder that the current spectrum of creative expression represented by this technique is so vast. Illusive 4 is the definitive reference of contemporary illustration and these developments. Showcasing the work of around 200 active illustrators --both established names and new talents --from around the world, the book demonstrates the dynamism of this creative technique and documents global trends. Some examples surprise the viewer by integrating elements from fashion sketching, figurative painting, collage, and photography. Astute texts describe how and where illustration is being used today and put the featured work into context. They explore opportunities for illustration in fields including advertising and merchandising and for thematic topics such as fashion, lifestyle, politics, and culture. Illusive 4 makes it clear that illustrations are not only used as decorative elements, but to visually convey both content and emotions. Because of its role as a transmitter of information, the medium of illustration is not limited by current fads. In fact, much of the included work is characterized by an impressive creative independence. The results are as astounding as they are inspiring. Its scope makes Illusive 4 a rich source of ideas for illustrators, painters, and visual artists, as well as for graphic and editorial designers. Its combination of images and text offers added insights for editors, writers, and anyone working in communication. In short, the book is meant for everyone who is passionate about

Abstract

"The cutaway illustrations in this book allow our eyes to see what usually remains hidden. They open up houses, bodies, and objects, and allow the individual parts to comprehensively explain the whole. Looking at the outside of things such as architecture, anatomy, or vehicles does not usually reveal much about their internal structures and functions. To learn more, we need to see inside them. Look Inside features infographics that cut up or take apart their subjects and make them transparent. The resulting cross sections and interior views present precise detail in multiple layers. Look Inside starts with a discussion of Arnhem Land, the earliest known cutaway illustrations, showing that even 28,000 years ago, humans had a fascination with how things internally work: the processes that are hidden from the human eye. Including work from both centuries past and the cutting-edge present, Look Inside is an unparalleled compendium of cutaway techniques and their wide-ranging applications. Works from Jewish-German physician Fritz Kahn's imagine the human body as a mechanized factory; Kahn's visual metaphors show conveyor belts and offices instead of veins and valves. Exploded images of classic sports cars allows Fabian Oefner to show every piece of the automotive puzzle from the body shell to individual tiny screws. Richard Orr's scientific pieces represent the natural world and continue in the genre's traditional thread of handmade illustrations; whether a beaver lodge or an arctic circle landscape, Orr presents a vivid natural world or layers and scientific hierarchies. The luxurious collection within Look Inside was curated by renowned information designers and creative directors, Samuel and Juan Velasco. The Velasco brothers have provided invaluable and inspirational insight in the history and theory of cutaway illustrations and visual storytelling."--Publisher.

Abstract

Escaping from the city and the everyday. Making a home within the forest's foliage. Using architectural remains as a foundation for a new retreat. These are the makings of many daydreams and the realities present in The Hinterland. For, even if it only lasts a moment, we all need a change of scenery. Cabins provide that coveted change. Located on mountain tops, nestled in villages, or ensconced in lush forests, The Hinterland showcases homey hide-outs and charming cabins from shelter to domicile. These getaways free us from the distracting and unessential, and offer to put us back in touch with nature and reclaim our own inner peace. Thoughtfully crafted and built, the stories behind these structures are just as curious as the walls themselves. Through portraits of the inhabitants and their invitingly inventive homes, The Hinterland explores architecture and design approaches to creating works that refresh and revitalize amidst the beauty of nature. With the right materials and mindset, this stirring collection reveals that we can all create our own radiant refuge and follow the call of The Hinterland.
