Ran into '268 Motivos para Disenar' that Promo Press put out earlier this year while I was recently in Barcelona and remembered that I have work in it. I was over at
Ciclic dropping off some of the new
Love, Grandarray books. If you're ever in Barcelona, be sure to visit Ciclic- Dave curates the most amazing collection of art, design, photography and architecture books and films from all over the universe.
Concebido como muestrario de estilos y técnicas contemporáneas en el terreno del diseño de patrones decorativos, 268 MOTIVOS PARA DISEÑAR es una completa guía visual que reúne más de 250 espectaculares y, en algunos casos, inéditos ejemplos creados por 83 diseñadores internacionales de renombre con sus aplicaciones en los campos de la moda, diseño industrial, diseño gráfico, packaging, interiorismo y arquitectura. Encontramos, a modo de ejemplo, patrones plasmados en telas, papeles de pared, fondos de pantalla para ordenador o azulejos, patrones con motivos abstractos, geométricos, realistas o surrealistas. Este libro incluye además una completa biografía de cada uno de los diseñadores seleccionados. Adjunta un cd-rom que contiene los 268 motivos más 50 de libre uso.
Which reminds me, MaoMao also put out the Cutting Edge Patterns and Textures book, as well as an Atlas of Illustration book that I'm a part of as well... sometimes its just hard to keep up. I'm trying.
People are irresistibly drawn to patterns. And many graphic designers are irresistibly drawn to creating patterns. Cutting-Edge Patterns and Textures features over 250 of their results, collected from 83 designers, artists, and graphic design studios from around the globe. Some are simple, monochromatic designs; others are intricate, colourful explosions. Together they represent the latest trends in graphic pattern design.
