“What you always wanted to know but never got explained in a simple and efficient way.”

sketching the Basics

afwisselend wordt ingegaan op algemene tekenvaardigheden en het toepassen ervan in het ontwerpproces. Niet alleen de student, maar ook de professionele designer kan het verder inzicht en mogelijkheden van het tekenen binnen het eigen ontwerpproces verschaffen. Dus basics : what you always wanted to know but never got explained in a simple and efficient way. Daar waar het vorige boek zich in onderscheidt tov de (toen) bestaande tekenboeken gericht op studenten en ontwerpers, bijvoorbeeld we het naast elkaar laten zien van instructieve tekeningen (wij) en tekeningen uit de praktijk (ontwerpers), willen we nu de nadruk leggen op de basics : hoe leer je efficiënt en in verschillende technieken tekeningen te maken, wat zijn daar de belangrijke stappen in en hoe oefen je dat. Uiteraard willen we dat weer ondersteunen met praktijkvoorbeelden, zei het met iets minder dan in de vorige ‘Sketching’.

Naast de al genoemde stappentekeningen (in alle hoofdstukken !) gebruiken we nu ook weer foto’s van producten om visuele verschijnselen te verklaren, te ontrafelen en toe te passen in de diverse gehanteerde tekentechnieken. Ook zal de complexiteit weer per hoofdstuk oplopen; elk hoofdstuk start weer ‘vers’ zogezegd. Het ‘leest ‘ toegankelijker als je niet gedwongen wordt ‘door te lezen’ maar ook bij een later onderwerp kunt inhaken. Hoewel we deze keer wel af en toe een kleine aparte uitstap maken naar verschillende computermedia, willen we, net als in het vorige boek, de toelichting van alle tekenaspecten weer een universeel karakter geven, zodat deze voor zowel ‘papier’ als ‘digitaal’ van toepassing zijn.

At Booreiland we call these kinds of products Meta Products, and we are taking on the adventure of designing them. Back in 2003 however, we started as a graphic design studio, and fluently grew into a mature web design studio the last few years. In 2008, it was time for something different, yet relying on our experience in web and print. This was to become the realm of the physical web and its Meta Products. This book might be interesting for trendwatchers, product design agencies, advertising agencies, R&D departments, people in education or anyone interested in web and product design.

ECCENTRIC STRUCTURES Bio-structural Analogues in Architecture is an inspirational book which documents a series of design experiments on structural prototypes derived from biological systems. The biological systems are studied in both morphological and behavioral contexts to derive mechanical and structural analogues of a spatial character. With several illustrations documenting the thinking and testing processes involved, this book forms a unique theoretical resource in the teaching and research of architectural structures.

Dear reader, This year’s BIS Publishers’ catalogue is the thickest ever. In fact, it is twice as thick as last year’s catalogue. What does that tell you? Have we given more space to the leading titles? Yes, but that’s not the only reason. Have we published more books than ever before? Yes we have. Have we reprinted more than ever before? Yes we have. We have also created separate sections for our main fields of design publishing: English books, Memory Games and Dutch books. What this tells you is that BIS Publishers is moving forward, despite the economic downturn. Thanks to our bestselling authors and our creativity in pushing our ideas through, we are becoming a little power house for creative books and games that sell all over the world. Would you like some examples? Let me highlight just three titles, one from each section.

In the main English language section, we announce a new book by the authors of Sketching. Since its publication two years ago, Sketching has become the most commonly used book on sketching for designers all over the world. It has been translated into many languages and has sold over 50,000 copies worldwide. The new book, Sketching: the Basics, has been written with beginners in mind, taking novice designers by the hand and again guiding them step by step in a very visual manner. It is a simple and efficient way of learning all you’ve ever wanted to know but have never had explained to you. In the Games section we introduce five new games! But I would like to highlight just one, the Street Style Memory Game, which is a fun and trendy game that has already taken many style blogs around the world by storm. Well, just one more: The Quick Brown Fox Jumps over the Lazy Dog. A very educational type recognition memory game created by Brazilian studio, ps.2 arquitetura + design. I am proud to say that our section of Dutch books includes the Dutch translation of My Wonderful World of Fashion, a completely irresistible book on fashion, drawing and designing by Nina Chakrabarti. Reactions from around the world are all the same: we want it! Now Dutch girls of all ages can fall flat for Nina’s book as well. As ever, if you have a good idea for a new book, drop me an email. I would love to hear from you. Kind regards, Rudolf van Wezel Publisher rudolf@bispublishers.nl

Cardboard Design Thinking Out of the Box

• • •

The most inspiring international book on contemporary cardboard design Wide interest among press and public Practical information for designers who themselves wish to get started using cardboard

Cardboard is more than just packaging. In a world where sustainability and recycling are key issues, designers are turning to cardboard and giving the old cardboard box a new lease of life. Entire interiors are being made from cardboard, from offices to shops to residential homes. Cardboard can be used for furniture, toys, accessories, fashion and indeed even architecture. Young designers are not afraid to mix no-tech cardboard with high tech materials. Cardboard has character, is sustainable, is mostly produced in a very eco-friendly way and is cheap. It is a no-brainer that cardboard is getting more and more popular among designers and the general design-minded public. This is the first book that will inspire a wide audience of designers, architects, artists and even creative DIY amateurs with the surprising uses of cardboard in contemporary design. Cardboard Design will contain plenty of well-selected cardboard eye candy as well as interviews with designers, architects and artists who use cardboard in their work. The book will also have a practical chapter on how to use cardboard in your designs with deeper information on aspects of the material such as the different types of cardboard and their characteristics. Author: Anneloes van Gaalen | Design: BORN ‘84 | English | 160 pages | Hardcover | 27 x 21 cm | € 29,90 | ISBN: 978 90 6369 239 1 | Publication date: Fall 2010

New

Dutch Creative The new multi-media platform Dutch Creative is planning to put agencies from the creative industry in touch with clients from the business community. Dutch Creative is a new multimedia platform that will provide clients in all sectors of the business community, government, non-profit and cultural sectors with an overview of what agencies in the Dutch creative industry have to offer. The platform will consist of an eight-part series of books, a comprehensive website featuring the portfolios of creative agencies, agency films, a newsfeed and a mobile application to ensure that the most recent work by creative agencies is available on the Smartphone. The booksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; portfolio pages will include a QR Code that can be read by smartphones and with which the latest work from creative agencies can be accessed directly and viewed on the telephone screen. Dutch Creative will also be organizing regular network meetings about trends in creativity for specific sectors in the business community, and non-profit, government and cultural sectors.

The platform is available for creative agencies in eight sectors. Creative agencies can publish their profiles and latest work on www.dutch-creative.nl and clients looking for creative input can find them with the help of a handy search module. The series comprises one book for each sector: graphic design, branding & identity, advertising & communication, web design, gaming & animation, product design, photography & illustration, and trends & styling. In addition to the beautifully designed portfolio pages, the books include case studies in which the editors focus on special projects, each of which are comprehensively described in words and images in double-page spreads. Dutch Creative is the successor to the Dutch Design books that for twenty years were published by BIS Publishers in cooperation with the BNO (Association of Dutch Designers). With its multimedia approach, new content and expanded scope to include the entire creative industry, this new design is a powerful upgrade and update of the successful Dutch Design series. Design: Booreiland | English/Dutch | Multi-volume edition in a slipcase | approx. 800 pages | 28 x 22 cm | â&#x201A;Ź 95,00 | ISBN: 978 90 6369 240 7 | Publication date: Fall 2010

Sketching The Basics

• • •

Sequel to the bestseller Sketching New visual method for the novice designer Highly suitable as a basic reference book in art and design education

Following the global success of Sketching, which has sold over 50,000 copies in two years, authors Koos Eissen and Roselien Steur will in 2011 be bringing out the sequel entitled Sketching: The Basics. In fact, prequel would be a better word for this new book, since it is aimed towards the novice designer. Whereas Sketching shows you how to draw various aspects of shape and form, and serves more as a reference book, The Basics explains things in more detail, taking the reader by the hand and guiding him step by step through all the various aspects of drawing that novice designers come up against. The Basics explains the rudiments of learning to draw both clearly and comprehensively using step by step illustrations, examples and strategies. You will learn to use and master the different techniques and also how to apply sketches in the design process. It is the perfect book for those just starting out in sketching, for the first years of art and design courses, and for those who wish to revise the basics of good sketching; it is a simple and efficient way of learning all you’ve ever wanted to know but have never had explained to you. Authors: Koos Eissen and Roselien Steur | Design: Booreiland | English | 184 pages | Hardcover | 27 x 21 cm | € 34,00 | ISBN: 978 90 6369 253 7 | Publication date: Spring 2011

Blood In Blood Out

2010 World Cup tie-in Tells emotional stories about cultural clashes between football teams Includes an introduction to the system of heraldry – graphic design of the 15th century

Dutch designer Floor Wesseling dived deep into the phenomenon of heraldry, the visual coding system from the 15th century by which families, kingdoms and armies could be identified and which were placed on flags, shields, jerseys and coats of arms. The designers of heraldry were the first graphic designers. Today we can find a lot of similarities, especially in the urban environment and on the jerseys of football clubs and the shirts of national football teams. Blood In Blood Out wants to show the relationship between cultures and express this by displaying new jerseys for football players, who are very much the modern day heralds. Floor Wesseling combines jerseys from different football teams into new combined jerseys and in doing so tells emotional stories about rivalry, social communities, city and country derbies and latter-day football battles. The book also contains a short introduction to the system and symbols of heraldry.

The audience for this inspiring book on inspiration are professionals but also people in the business world who look to creative entrepreneurs for inspiration in their own businesses. The authors asked themselves the question of where ideas come from. Armed with a digital camera and a tape recorder, they set off around Europe and interviewed some forty creative thinkers from a wide variety of disciplines including the fashion world, photography, design, advertising and architecture. They asked each creative professional how and where they get their best ideas, what they surrounded themselves with and whether they follow any kind of formula in the creative process. The creative thinkers showed them their sketchbooks, notepads and bottom drawers and allowed the authors to photograph theirs desks and idea walls, and told them what gets their creative juices going.

In a follow-up to the overview Modern Living: The Graphic Universe of Han Hoogerbrugge, BIS now presents the cartoon album, Pro Stress, the Internet project that now occupies Han Hoogerbrugge on a daily basis. In the work of draftsman/animator Han Hoogerbrugge, the artist wrestles with humour for everyday life and investigates his obsessions, neuroses and emotions.

Stress gives him a kick, making him able to do many things at once, achieving a work flow in which many new ideas crop up. In Pro Stress, over 200 short cartoons have been collected in which Hoogerbrugge, in delightfully humorous fashion, observes the world and, in addition to the protagonist, who was always an alter ego of Hoogerbrugge himself, observes such famous figures as David Lynch, Nick Cave, Dr. Phil, Bob Ross, Ross from the television series Friends and Quentin Tarantino play their parts.

What Would John Do? Flour power – baking your way to happiness

• • •

Very funny pastiche of personal happiness books A cookbook with only one recipe, but it may change your life Incredible low price

This little book can change your life. Meeting John has in any case changed the life of the author. In this story, you learn how you can make all your dreams come true – or at least some of those dreams. And if that does not succeed, you have in any case discovered all you need to bake a perfect cookie. In What Would John Do?, William Georgi introduces the reader to the thinking of John Altman, a cake and cookie baker and an old hippie from San Francisco. In seven chapters, we learn the seven steps required to bake a cookie, a metaphor for seven simple principles that pave the way to a happier life. If it does not work for you, you can still bake that perfect cookie. What Would John Do? is a funny pastiche of the popular stream of publications on personal happiness. It is the brain child of the makers of Gookie cookies at the Gummo advertising studios in Amsterdam.

WHAT WOULD JOHN DO? WHAT WOULD JOHN DO?

WHAT WOULD JOHN DO?

Growing your own ingredients will keep your larder stocked with fresh ingredients all year round and

INGREDIENTS: WHATEVER, MAN

What would John do? Well, he’d probably start at the beginning. Probably being the operative word, since you can never tell with John. He’s just as likely to drift into a meaningless and ultimately pointless aside just like this, before looking intensely into either the sunset or your eyes (depending on the time of day) and offering you a cookie or glass of wine. Luckily for you, we do know what we’re talking about here. Cookies. And what goes into making them. As you might have guessed, we’re fairly relaxed as to what ingredients you choose. In short, you can use anything you like – absolutely anything and everything. As you’ll have gleaned from the cover, John’s is a recipe book with only one recipe. That means you get to decide what you want to make. Finally, a cookbook that caters to every taste… 12

your mind overflowing with fresh inspiration. Contrary to what some doubting Thomases might believe, this isn’t because we’re too lazy to come up with lots of recipes ourselves, but because John showed us that a recipe comes from inside you, not from the pages of a book. We can help you on the way to finding your destiny, but ultimately you have to walk your own path yourself. If you are what you eat (and we can certainly confirm that after we spent a week in Turkey only eating kebabs) it seems only logical to conclude that you are the food you make. Or at least what you bake is what you are. What you put in the cookie reflects your personality and how you’re feeling at the time. And we would never be so presumptuous as to tell who you are or what you feel. That’s not the way we roll. What we would like to do is offer you a few guidelines that John passed on to us to help you get to grips with the eternal mystery of what John would put in his cookies.

WHAT WOULD JOHN DO?

The possibilities for the advancement of the

DO LESS, GET MORE DONE

human race are endless: for a start, we’d have instant world peace, because apart from anything else, war’s a lot of effort.

If there’s one thing that John would do above all others, it’s nothing. For as he told us before we stepped into his kitchen: “The less you do, the more you’ll get done.” That still sounds as good to us as it did way back in sunny San Francisco. It sounds even sweeter when you take it to its logical conclusion, which is that by doing nothing, you can accomplish everything you could possibly desire. Success is that simple in John’s book. If you think about it, it makes perfect sense, as it’s exactly what everything in nature does to reach its goal. Nothing. Nada. Niente. A tree doesn’t try to be a tree, it just is a tree. A puppy doesn’t try to grow into a dog, it just wakes up one day and feels like chewing the postman rather than the adorable stuffed toy you gave her a year ago. It’s not magic. It’s Mother Nature doing her thing. And she does

her thing very well without any help from mankind, thank you very much indeed. But you don’t have to take our word alone for the fact that stepping out of the process is the best thing you can do to ensure its success. Happily there’s a much, much wiser man than us who’s actually proved that letting nature get on with, well, growing and stuff, without people getting in the way is much more productive. Masanobu Fukuoka’s (may he rest in peace) greatest gift to the world was “do nothing” farming. It’s as wonderful as it sounds. Plant a few seed balls, leave them well alone, then come back and reap the harvest a few months

PREPARATION: YOU’LL NEVER BAKE ALONE

So when doubts started to creep in about what to do next, he rang up his dear old ma, who proceeded to help him prepare to make the perfect roast for his friends.

WHAT WOULD JOHN DO?

isn’t half as grandiose as it sounds. Consider the bigger picture: Everything you do changes your life a little bit, and somebody else’s too if you follow John’s example and share your cookies with other people. Changing the world means doing lots of little things that (when combined) can have a big benefit. What starts with a cookie baked in San Francisco could go as far as the White House. Why do you think everyone always goes round there for tea and biscuits? John was fond of saying that the thaw in the Cold War began with a cup of Earl Grey and a particularly fruity oatmeal cookie. Now that’s something to chew over. We hope you’ll never underestimate the humble cookie ever again. TAKE YOUR SWEET TIME

You should never go into something half-baked. Quite apart from the perils posed by salmonella, it never works out well. You might enjoy the thrill of living on the edge, but trust us; it’s not worth it. Grating ugli fruit whilst checking how much ginger you need and simultaneously blending a smoothie might sound a lot of fun, but adding this sort of spice to the baking process can only be damaging. The situation will only turn, er, ugly. So no matter how much you might want to bake the cookies right now, it’s vital to take the time to fully prepare yourself and gather every single ingredient, pot, pan, baking tray and lucky rabbit foot you’ll need to bake the best 30

WHAT WOULD JOHN DO?

BAKING: IF YOU LOVE SOMETHING, SET IT FREE.

Normally, we don’t have a lot of time for Sting. Any in fact. Or for any of the half-arsed musicians who have churned out this particular nugget a thousand times. But it pains me to concede that they may have a point when it comes to baking cookies. For now, we enter the truly challenging part of our journey. Even harder than listening to Fields of Gold on repeat. Letting go. Up until now you’ve been in charge of everything. What goes in the cookie, where you make it, how you make it, who you make it with. You’d be forgiven for thinking that all there’s left to do is put your cookies in the oven. Easy, you might think. Wrong would you be, as everyone’s 64

I should warn you now that John isn’t much of a technology person. The only thing he’d do with a Blackberry is bake it.

to 15,000 barrels of pickles and 50,000 barrels of vinegar a year. Unexpected, 1875 would reveal itself as a catastrophic year.

He Became very excited about the English, so between 1890 and 1914 he travelled to Europe almost every year. The very well established Fortnum and Mason, purveyors of the royal family, became the first international customer. Apparently Henry was very convincing; they ordered the whole assortment of condiments right away. Later, Heinz established sales branches in the United Kingdom and Canada. This way the company became the first US company with international expansion.

In April the company’s lack of capital was depressing the normally hyperactive Henry. The economic situation of the company would remain miserable the next months. The death blow was finally caused caused by phenomenal harvests. After asking additional funds for purchases and wages, bankrupcy became official on December 15th. In 1876 Henry J. Heinz, his brother John and cousin Frederick launched the new F&J Heinz company. That same year, an important new product was added to their assortment: Catsup. Later written as ‘ketchup’ it was made according to the same terms of purity and quality. The success of this product and of course Henry’s business skills made the company prosper for many upcoming years. The year 1886 would mark the beginning of Heinz’s interest for foreign markets. That year, Henry and his family travelled to Europe for the first time.

since 19xx the neckband of heinz ketchup is bearing the magical number ‘57’.

In 1896, when Henry John Heinz was riding in a train in New York the idea of the 57 varieties came to life. He was fascinated by an advertisement in the coach?, that was promoting 21 styles of shoes. He liked this way of expressing the big number of choices. At the time he was already manufacturing more than 60 products. He kept thinking about the number ‘57’ and ‘57’ varieties. instead, thinking ‘57’ to be a lucky number. It is said the number ‘5’ was his personal lucky number and ‘7’ was his wife’s lucky number. Besides being present on the label, the number ‘57’ is also applied to the glass of the bottle. According to the Heinz website, when applying a firm tap to this sweet spot on the neck of the bottle, the ketchup will be released faster from the bottle. It seems that only 11 percent of people know this secret.

why 57 for heinz? although heinz’s 57 varieties is one of the most famous slogans in the history of business, the number 57 was not - and is not the number of products heinz sells. one day henry heinz was riding a train in new york city and saw a card advertising 21 types of shoes. he quickly decided to use that type of slogan for his company. at the time heinz was manufacturing more than 60 products, but henry thought 57 was a magic, lucky number. henry was so taken with that number that he came up with 57 “varieties” as a advertising slogan. today heinz produces more than 57,00 products, but the company still uses “57.”

The next few years showed a growing company, making good use of modern innovations as automobiles, refrigerators, cars and tank cars. A range of impressive advertising and marketing ideas, materialized under the personal direction of the founder. One of the most striking was New York City’s first large electric display with 1200 incandescent lights. Adding up to the huge commercial success of the 12 national and international factories, Henry became a man of mythical proportions, being credited for revolutionizing food processing, marketing and public eating habits.

where does the pickle come from?

AAccordingly, for its 140th anniversary, Heinz Netherlands decided to take action for the programme of Fight Cancer. This is the youth chapter of KWF ‘kankerbestrijding’. The famous DJ and artist Ruud de Wild was asked to create a piece of art with the theme Heinz ketchup. Once finished, it travelled around the country in a specially designed mobile showcase drawing attention to the objectives of Fight Cancer. The painting was finally allotted under the people that contributed by giving a donation to Fight Cancer.

the heinz company presented itself with a very impressive exhibition stand at 1893’s world’s columbian exposition in chicago.

Over the years, the description ’57 varieties’ has become a slogan, communicating the wide assortment of the brand. It has never represented the exact amount of products being offered.

the magical number 57

However, very little visitors were actually showing up. The stand was 44 steps up the gallery, which happened to be a barrier for most. The founder came up with a great idea. People were offered a free individual souvenir, when visiting Heinz’s exhibition up the stairs. This was a green plaster watch charm in the shape of a pickle, with a metal loop at the top.

Commonly called the Heinz Pickle Pin. In Chicago one million were given away. The Pickle Pin was used as a promotional item for many years. With more than 100 million being handed out at expositions, trade fairs and plant tours, it has become one of the most popular souvenirs ever, in the history of American advertising.

Ruud de Wild has participated disinterested to the project. Being free to choose any subject related to Heinz ketchup, he has chosen the original Keystone label as starting-point. The style and colour palette he used is inspired on the visual language of the circus. Travelling around the country like the painting.

By 1897, the company had officially resolved to use the pickle, bearing the word ‘Heinz’s’ as its logo in all signs, labels, advertising and received greater prominence than the trade mark. In 1906 the pickle logo was no longer used as the main logo on the labels. But got a secondary role, comparible to the old keystone trade mark, which it replaced.

The constructs shown here do not pretend to be perfect finalized objects; they are to be seen as experiments with generative CAD tools, algorithms and scripting applications, although some of the outcomes look like they are ready to be put into mass production. The insights which arose from these experiments are presented and organized within five production techniques: cross segmentation, accumulation, frameworks, loops and folding. These studies were created during the design seminar ‘analogue-digital’ held by Asterios Agkathidis at the Technical University Darmstadt’s Faculty of Architecture. Asterios Agkathidis also published Modular Structures in Design and Architecture with BIS Publishers, which is now in its second edition.

New title in the very successful series of experimental design and architecture research books Researches experimental structures in architecture Written by the author of Bio-Structural Analogues in Architecture

This book presents studies in architectural form focusing on the relationships between force, form and space to develop structure. The design processes of different structures vary from inherently unstable forms to multi-span spaces in buildings to the creation of multi-layered spaces within physical shells. The book is based on studies carried out by the Department of Architecture at the School of Design and Environment, which is part of the National University of Singapore. In addition to an essay on the context of eccentric structures in architecture, the book contains many project studies, with step by step visualizations of process models and reviews of the problems encountered, final models and the information gained from each experiment. This book will be a useful textbook resource for teaching and research in architecture, providing a theoretical basis on form, space and structure as well as a resource for practitioners seeking alternative structural models.

Exciting crossover between the movement of fashion and textiles and the static aspect of architectural space Highly visual presentation combined with expert writing by leading academics in the field With a contribution by Sofia Vyzovity, author of Folding Architecture (35,000 copies sold)

Within the scope of the workshop Performative Geometries, students at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki developed individual spatial design strategies by analyzing textile techniques and their underlying geometrical spatial appearance. As in architecture, fashion creates a second skin that can adapt to the human body depending on its programming the skin changes. In terms of spatial organization, we can learn many things from techniques that are used by fashion designers. In the Performative Geometries workshops, each group analyzed a specific piece of clothes in terms of geometry, technique, cutting pattern and material. The book contains many visuals of the form studies in between fashion, textiles, space and architecture, thus combining and blurring the moving and the static, and essays by leaders in the field. The book has been edited by Asterios Agkathidis and Gabi Schillig.

Street Style Memory Game This new Memory Game challenges players to find combinations of young people with special characteristics and street-style clothing. These are beautiful photographs of people from all nationalities, photographed in the streets of Amsterdam during 2009. For the game, the pictures have been cut in two. Based on their clothing, their attitudes and backgrounds of the people in the photographs, players can join the slightly enlarged faces with the rest of the bodies. Pairing off the sections is great fun, an excellent game for children and for anyone who is interested in street fashion or in search of a trendy gift. The photography is by Barbara Iweins, a Flemish photographer who lives in Brussels and Amsterdam.

The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog Typeface Memory Game This very attractively finished typographic memory game includes 25 variations of the letter ‘A’, each in a different letter type. Players attempt to find the matching A’s in the same letter type. The player who has the highest number of matching letters wins the game. Typographic information about the letter is included on the card, and a separate folder provides a general history of typography. This is an enjoyable and instructive game for graphic designers and anyone who is fascinated by letter types. As you play, you increasingly recognize what are often very subtle differences between the letters and more about the details of the letter types. They become progressively easier to recognize and distinguish from one another – even Univers and Helvetica! Among the letter types included in the game are Akzidenz Grotesk, Baskerville, Centaur, Garamond, Helvetica Rockwell, Times New Roman, Univers and many more. The game was edited and designed by the Brazilian design studio, ps.2 arquitetura + design.

Van Gogh Memory Game Van Gogh is one of the world’s most admired painters and the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam is definitely a must on every Amsterdam visitor’s list. In collaboration with the Van Gogh Museum, BIS Publishers produced this creative Van Gogh Memory Game. Each set of cards consists of two different images from the museum’s collection, together forming a clear theme and telling a little story about Van Gogh’s oeuvre. One set may therefore combine a little sketch from one of the Van Gogh letters with the actual painting, another set might combine two typical Van Gogh subjects like the Sunflowers, the Yellow House, the Sower and yet another set can combine two self portraits. This memory game offers hours of fun and creates a deeper understanding of Van Gogh’s works. All the sets contain a brief explanation and credits in a folder in the box.

Play Van Abbe Memory by Intuition The Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven is famous for its experimental approach towards artâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role in society. Its collection includes key works by Lissitzky, Picasso, Kokoschka, Chagall, Beuys, Daniels and Kormeling. Openness, hospitality, the exchange of knowledge, and playfulness are the drivers of the museums activities. It is no surprise that the Van Abbemuseum welcomed the idea of creating a memory game based on their collection. Playing this game is a superbly creative activity in itself because the cards are not identical; they are even not made by the same artist. These cards do, however, have striking similarities in subject, technique or colour. Playing Play Van Abbe is a challenge, but a rewarding one that makes you look at the art of the Van Abbemuseum in a novel way. It is the perfect gift for lovers of contemporary art.

My Wonderful World of Fashion Een ontwerpen tekenboek om bij weg te dromen Dit is de Nederlandse editie van de internationale besteller van Nina Chakrabarti. Een geweldig boek voor jonge en oudere creatieve modemeiden. Nina’s grote verdienste is dat ze de wereld van mode heel aanstekelijk bij elkaar gebracht heeft met tal van aansporingen om zelf creatief aan de slag te gaan door in te kleuren, zelf leuke prints te tekenen en allerlei kledingstukken en accessoires zelf te ontwerpen. Het Parool schrijft: “My Wonderful World of Fashion is onweerstaanbaar. Sla het open en het duizelt je van de ontelbare illustraties van schoenen, tassen, simpele naaipatronen, tips en halve tekeningen om zelf af te maken door wie zin heeft ... Chakrabarti hoopt ook dat haar boek meer doet: inspireert om eigen kleding te maken en te ontwerpen.” De Engelse editie heeft enorm veel positieve aandacht in de internationale pers gekregen en vliegt als warme broodjes over de toonbank. Nu de vertaling uitkomt en de prijs een stuk lager wordt, zal ook Nederland om gaan voor Nina’s fantastische My Wonderful World of Fashion. “Onweerstaanbaar” - Het Parool

Copy & Concept Prikkels voor reclamemakers

• Beste copyboek voor communicatieonderwijs • Geheel herziene editie • Met vele nieuwe actuele cases

Deze derde en geheel vernieuwde editie bevat vele nieuwe cases, verbeteringen en aanvullingen. Copy & Concept werd al als een must have door de reclame vakpers aangeprezen. Deze nieuwe editie maakt dit Nederlandse handboek voor conceptontwikkeling en copywriting totaal onontkoombaar voor iedereen die werkt in reclame en communicatie. Probeer het maar eens. Een campagne maken die doelgroepgericht is, onderscheidend, zo simpel dat iedereen achteraf zegt dat hij het ook had kunnen verzinnen (maar dat is niet gebeurd). Dit handboek helpt de lezer en inspireert hem om zulke campagnes te maken. Tegelijkertijd is het een studieboek, waarin studenten en junioren stap voor stap ervaren hoe creatieve en effectieve companyconcepten ontwikkeld worden, en hoe die concepten worden door vertaald in messcherpe copy. Het boek volgt het creatieve proces zoals dat in de beroepspraktijk verloopt: van conceptontwikkeling tot copywriting. Dankzij de actuele cases (ter beschikking gesteld door de meest vooraanstaande reclame- en communicatiebureaus van Nederland) vullen theorie en praktijk elkaar uitstekend aan. “Wie het na het lezen van dit boek niet snapt, kan beter een ander vak kiezen” - MarketingTribune Auteurs: Bert Thobokholt, Barry de Waal & Martin Westbeek | Design: Crossmarks | Nederlands | 256 pagina’s | Hardcover | 28,5 x 21,5 cm | € 45,00 | ISBN: 978 90 6369 254 4 | Publicatiedatum: september 2010

Voorwoord Probeer het maar eens. Een campagne maken die doelgroepgericht is, onderscheidend, origineel, zo simpel dat iedereen achteraf zegt dat hij het ook zo had kunnen verzinnen (maar dat is niet gebeurd). En ook nog effectief. Dit boek wil de lezer daarbij prikkelen, helpen en inspireren. Tegelijkertijd is het een studieboek, waarin studenten en junioren stap voor stap ervaren hoe creatieve en effectieve communicatieconcepten ontwikkeld worden, en hoe die concepten vervolgens worden doorvertaald in spitse en wervende copy. Het boek volgt het creatief proces zoals dat in de dagelijkse beroepspraktijk voorkomt en bestaat dus uit twee gedeelten: conceptontwikkeling en copywriting.

Uitgeverij LannooCampus Naamsesteenweg 201 3001 Leuven België www.lannoocampus.com

Het eerste deel opent met strategie, de noodzakelijke basis voor effectieve conceptontwikkeling (hoofdstuk 1). In deze nieuwe druk besteden we meer aandacht aan positioneren, omdat het belang van een relevante en onderscheidende positionering alleen maar is toegenomen. Bovendien introduceren we in dit hoofdstuk een nieuw model, dat illustreert hoezeer strategie en creatie in elkaars verlengde liggen: de creatiedriehoek.

Naast strategisch inzicht legt ook kennis van reclamewerking (hoofdstuk 2) de basis voor krachtige concepten. Vandaar dit nieuwe hoofdstuk. Reclamemakers doen bijzonder hard hun best om merken een prominente breinpositie bij consumenten of een zakelijke doelgroep te geven. Dan is het dus belangrijk te weten hoe reclame werkt.

De hoofdstukken ‘Copywriting per middel’ (8), ‘Pay-off’ (9) en ‘Merknaamontwikkeling’ (10) zijn aangescherpt en aangevuld. Voor hoofdstuk 10 hebben we de deskundigheid en ervaring van Globrands ingeroepen. Resultaat: een interessante case over de merknaamontwikkeling van de hogesnelheidsmerken Thalys en Fyra.

Hoofdstuk 3 over de creative brief laat het belang zien van scherpe keuzes. Als je in de briefingfase lef toont (specifieke doelstellingen en scherpe proposities), is de kans op effectieve campagnes vele malen groter. Het briefingformat in dit hoofdstuk helpt daarbij. Wij bedanken Tamara van der Peet voor haar meer dan substantiële bijdrage aan dit hoofdstuk.

Dankzij de deelnemende reclamebureaus en andere organisaties vullen theorie en praktijk elkaar in dit boek goed aan. Actuele inzichten worden steeds toegelicht met verse cases van bijna alle Nederlandse topbureaus. En - voor het eerst - van één Vlaams topbureau: Dubois MEETS Fugger, dat een opvallende strategie en campagne ontwikkelde om de Vlaamse werkloze huisvrouw tot arbeidsparticipatie te motiveren…

Hoofdstuk 4 over creatieve technieken is nieuw opgezet. Het is bedoeld om creatieven meer gereedschappen in handen te geven om tot grootse ideeën te komen. Want het zijn deze ‘lateral leaps’ die de kans vergroten dat campagnes bij de reclamemijdende consument boven de waarnemingsdrempel komen. Het hoofdstuk over conceptontwikkeling (hoofdstuk 5) is grotendeels onveranderd gebleven. Twee zaken vallen op. Onze lijst met invalshoeken en vragen voor concepontwikkeling heeft een naam gekregen: de Inspiratielijst. En het onderdeel conceptpresentatie was te klein om een eigen hoofdstuk te mogen opeisen en dient nu als passende afsluiter van het hoofdstuk conceptontwikkeling. Ook het tweede deel, over copywriting en copyspecialismen, kent een aantal in het oog springende wijzigingen. Ten eerste hebben we het hoofdstuk ‘Voorbereiding op copywriting’ nu geïntegreerd in het hoofdstuk ‘Copywriting’ (hoofdstuk 6), omdat we vinden dat het inlezen en inleven in doelgroepen en situaties eigenlijk gezien moet worden als onderdeel van elk schrijfproces. Daarnaast hebben we de kopregel (hoofdstuk 7) het podium gegeven dat deze verdient. Zonder goede kopregels worden zelfs briljante teksten niet gelezen. Niet voor niets wordt de kop ‘an ad for your ad’ genoemd.

4 Creatieve technieken We produceren tot zo’n 50.000 ideeën per dag. Daar zit vast wel een mooi concept tussen.

Daarin beschrijft Jaap het ontstaan van de bekende Optimelzin; • Crossmarks voor het hernieuwde design en de toewijding van Linda, Petra, Monique, Monique, Sabine en Henry; • Lous, Monique en Els voor dat wat wij niet uit hoeven te spreken.

Voorwoord 3

Conceptpresentatie

I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse (Don Vito Corleone, The Godfather I)

Tijdens het conceptproces hebben we als creatief team meerdere malen met de creative director en de accountmanager of strateeg de conceptvoorstellen geëvalueerd. Tijdens deze reviews hebben we afscheid genomen van conceptrichtingen die niet of niet voldoende aan de briefingcriteria voldeden. Ook conceptrichtingen die perfect ‘op briefing’ waren, maar helaas niet onderscheidend, creatief of passend bij het merk zijn, vielen af, samen met zwakke uitwerkingen van op zich sterke ideeën.

Tijdens die conceptpresentatie willen we erin slagen het eigen denkproces (hoe zijn we vanuit de briefing tot het concept gekomen?) duidelijk te maken aan de klant. Die klant moet zijn opdracht herkennen en zien hoe het creatief team deze opdracht (eventueel in verschillende richtingen) conceptueel heeft uitgevoerd. Hij moet ook tot de conclusie komen dat we niet een fantastische oplossing hebben bedacht voor een ander communicatieprobleem.

Doorgaans eindigen we met enkele concepten, die we aan de klant moeten presenteren. De drie A’s (zie hoofdstuk 1) spelen een belangrijke rol bij de selectie van het concept of de concepten die een bureau aan de klant presenteert: is het concept een merkversterker (Authentiek), is het voldoende relevant en aansprekend voor de doelgroep (Aantrekkelijk), en zijn er (directe of indirecte) concurrenten die al eens eerder een vergelijkbare campagne hebben gelanceerd (Afwijkend)?

Conceptpresentaties zijn er in alle soorten en vormen. Het hangt van de aard en omvang van de opdracht af hoe gedetailleerd of globaal de conceptpresentatie is. Hebben we bijvoorbeeld de opdracht om (samen met strategen) de corporate identity van een merk vast te leggen en in een concept te vertalen, dan kan de conceptpresentatie misschien wel 50 pagina’s beslaan. Maar als de klant vraagt een advertentieconcept te ontwikkelen vanuit een bekende propositie, dan kunnen we aan een paar A4’tjes al genoeg hebben.

Elementen van een conceptpresentatie Wat de conceptopdracht ook was (één advertentie, of een corporate lijn voor de komende twee jaar), in een conceptpresentatie komen altijd de volgende elementen of fasen voor:

Je presenteert je beste concept. Ze reageren enthousiast. En toch gaan ze het anders doen.

Bureau TBWA\NEBOKO

Doelgroep(en) Mannen en vrouwen ouder dan 18 jaar.

Aanleiding In de wereld van de biermerken lijken de positioneringen stevig verankerd. Toch is het TBWA\NEBOKO gelukt om met een commercial te komen die zorgde voor rumour around the brand, een prijs in Cannes, filmpjes op You Tube en een spoof van concurrent Bavaria, terwijl de positionering van de commercial erg dicht aanschurkte tegen die van Amstel (de wereld van mannen versus de wereld van vrouwen). Over reclame-effecten gesproken.

Doelstelling(en) Deze commercial laat zien dat Heineken de wereld wat plezieriger maakt (‘refreshing your pleasure’ brandstrategie) en heeft als doelstelling het merk dichter bij de consument te brengen.

Concept / Strategie Heineken wordt gezien als een premium bier dat ook premium plezier biedt. Innovatie en vindingrijkheid zijn sinds lange tijd de kernwaarden van het merk. Deze commercial laat zien dat dit erg ver kan gaan… In de Heineken commercial ‘Walk-in Fridge’ zien we hoe een vrouw een groepje vriendinnen rondleidt in haar nieuwe huis. Trots opent ze de deur van haar slaapkamer, met daarin een forse walk-in closet. Haar vriendinnen reageren uitzinnig. Maar nog niet zo euforisch als hun mannen reageren op het hobbyproject van haar echtgenoot… Boodschap Heineken, refreshing your pleasure (impliciet). Serving the planet is de pay-off.

Mediamix Om zowel offline als online maximaal effect te genereren is de commercial een week voor de eerste uitzenddatum op internet in première gaan. Dit met verdere online seeding resulteerde in de meest online bekeken tv-commercial ooit (> 8 miljoen views op YouTube na twee maanden). Het concept is verder uitgebouwd met een viral en een follow up commercial, the Walking Fridge.

TVC WALK-IN FRIDGE

TVC Walk-in Fridge

En toen..... Op het prestigieuze Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival 2009 sleept TBWA\NEBOKO een zilveren Leeuw in de wacht met de Walk-in Fridge. Jaarlijks is Cannes Lions het epicentrum voor de internationale reclamewereld. Meer dan 10.000 bezoekers uit 85 landen komen jaarlijks naar dit festival. De spin-off die deze commercial heeft gehad is gigantisch. Bavaria maakte een spoof, er verschenen talloze imitaties op YouTube en op de gemiddelde feestavond behoorde het tot je meritus om deze commercial uitgebreid te bespreken of na te bootsen.

CASE: POWNE D 10 Merknaamontwikkeling Op maandag en dinsdag schreef ik een brochure van 2000 woorden. Woensdag, donderdag, vrijdag en de volgende week bedacht ik een merknaam van drie letters.

Bureau RadeMakkers Aanleiding De makers van Geen Stijl besloten op 5 februari 2009 een omroep te beginnen: PowNed. Dezelfde avond meldde Dominique Weesie zich samen met Marianne Zwagerman bij RadeMakkers voor een campagne. Het moest wel snel, want de overheid wilde op 1 april minstens 50.000 betalende leden gepresenteerd krijgen. En budget was er eigenlijk niet. Het bureau zou pas betaald worden als het aantal leden gehaald werd…

Concept De oplossing was eenvoudig en daarom ook zo doeltreffend: RadeMakkers maakte van een testbeeld een piratenvlag. Een beeld dat bijna als een logo werkt. Zeer herkenbaar en multimediaal in te zetten. Resultaat Binnen de gestelde termijn zijn 66.000 betalende leden binnengehaald. Daarmee is PowNed, naast Wakker Nederland, de enige die meer dan 50.000 leden heeft binnengehaald. Andere initiatieven zoals de Gay omroep, de cultuuromroep en de Suri-omroep hebben het aantal niet gehaald.

Creatieve uitdaging ‘Ontwikkel een beeld dat zowel online als in print direct herkenbaar is. Het moet de mentaliteit van Geen Stijl weergeven maar tegelijk ook duidelijk maken dat we het niet over internet maar over televisie hebben.’ Jan Bennink, copywriter en secretaris van de omroepstichting, heeft RadeMakkers geholpen met de copy over de plannen van de omroep. De toon moest passen bij die van Geen Stijl: provocerend, brutaal, direct.

Maak schoon schip in Hilversum. Word nu lid van PowNed. 12 redenen waarom jij nu lid moet worden van de nieuwe publieke omroep PowNed: 1. PowNed confronteert. Liegende ministers, frauderende raadsleden, wereldvreemde rechters? Wij confronteren je met zaken die anders wel eens onder de pet zouden kunnen verdwijnen. Als eerste omroep van Hilversum denken wij dat jij de waarheid wel aankan. Zonder GeenStijl (de initiatiefnemer van PowNed) liep Hilversum immers nog braaf door de prachtwijken achter Ella Vogelaar aan...

Strategische analyse De strategie was heel eenvoudig: maak gezien het zeer beperkte budget zo veel mogelijk gebruik van de media die GeenStijl en PowNed goedgezind zijn: (eigenaar) Telegraaf, SBS 6 en natuurlijk de website van GeenStijl (het belangrijkste medium). Niet alleen moesten potentiële leden worden bereikt, maar ook politici en andere mogelijke beïnvloeders van de minister. Zodat PowNed wellicht ook aan tafel mocht verschijnen in televisieprogramma’s zoals De Wereld Draait Door en Pauw & Witteman. De campagne werd een week na briefing afgetrapt met een hele pagina full colour in de Telegraaf en daarna gevolgd door IM’ers. SBS 6 hielp door 9 weken lang een half uur zendtijd beschikbaar te stellen waarin PowNed kon laten zien wat ze later in het publieke bestel zouden gaan doen.

60 Copy & Concept

2. PowNed let op de centjes. De Publieke Omroep ontvangt jaarlijks 800 miljoen belastinggeld en nog krijgen ze de begroting niet rond. Niet zo verwonderlijk, wanneer je de kantoorpanden ziet waarin ze huizen, het wagenpark bekijkt waarin zij rijden en de salarissen aanschouwt die worden uitbetaald. Zo vliegt LLiNK-presentatrice Floortje Dessing de hele wereld over voor een salaris dat hoger is dan de minister-president. PowNed gaat Hilversum leren beter op jouw centjes te letten. Bewijzen dat het allemaal voor veel minder kan, met leukere programma’s en een evenwichtiger geluid. 3. PowNed is kritisch voor rechts en links. PowNed heeft geen politieke voorkeur, maar wij gaan wel graag op het links geslepen brilletje van Hilversum staan. Wie nu naar de publieke omroep kijkt, heeft regelmatig het idee zich te moeten schamen voor zijn of haar opvattingen. Met PowNed zul je erachter komen dat je rechter speaker ook geluid maakt. Een evenwichtiger programma-aanbod dus. Kijkers zijn immers oud en wijs genoeg om zelf hun mening te bepalen.

IM ADVERTENTIE

4. PowNed teistert de macht. Gelden wetten en regels voor iedereen? Of alleen voor de gewone man? PowNed gaat roeren waar het stinkt. Ook als de wc bril van goud is. Gewoon omdat het kan. En omdat het moet. PowNed schurkt niet aan tegen macht, want macht corrumpeert. 5. PowNed. God is geen lid. Wij geloven pas iets als we het kunnen zien, ruiken, horen of vast kunnen pakken. Voor God ben je dan ook bij PowNed aan het verkeerde adres. Die heeft al omroepen genoeg aan zijn voeten liggen. Maar ook valse profeten als Al Gore kunnen op onze warme belangstelling rekenen. 6. PowNed denkt niet in hokjes. Koning, Rechter, Marokkaan, iedereen is gelijk als ze voor onze camera staan. We gaan op

onderzoek uit zonder ontzag voor titels of vooroordelen. Zonder angst voor klappen of rechtszaken. Met open vizier. We kletsen dus niet over mensen, maar gaan zelf met ze praten. Heel ontwapenend. 7. PowNed sloopt het Old Boys and Girls Network. PowNed gaat voor frisse gezichten. Weg met die kleffe Hilversumse telefoonklapper. Types als Paul Rosenmöller, Freek de Jonge, Dolf Jansen en Ali B komen er bij ons niet in. 8. PowNed houdt van sport. Maar niet perse van de favoriete sporten van Mart Smeets. Dus na het schaatsen komt bij ons geen schaatsen en daarna schaatsen. We gaan ook op zoek naar Nederlandse sportsterren die Hilversum steevast links laat liggen. Met PowNed krijgen door Hilversum geboycotte wereldtoppers als Remy Bonjasky eindelijk een podium. 9. PowNed is van jou. Als je lid wordt van PowNed mag je niet alleen een beetje meekletsen voor de vorm. Onze leden zijn onze scherpe ogen, gespitste oren en onze grote mond. Je telt mee. Je doet mee en je beslist mee. PowNed leden zitten in ons bestuur. Daar waar je bij de andere omroepen slechts voor spek en bonen meetelt. 10. PowNed gaat zelf programma’s maken. Programma’s die kijkers willen zien, niet wat de programmamakers zelf leuk vinden. Wij gaan nieuwe programma’s op je loslaten, die we ook zelf gaan produceren. Dus sorry John, wij doen het straks in eigen beheer. Is veel leuker. Veel goedkoper ook. De nadruk zal liggen op nieuws, opinie en satire, zonder dat bekende opgeheven Hilversumse vingertje. 11. PowNed is bijna gratis. 5 Euro en 72 cent. Voor de prijs van twee bier (twee bier en een bessen voor wie buiten de Randstad woont) kun jij geschiedenis schrijven. Ga naar www.powned.tv en zorg er eigenhandig voor dat Hilversum nooit meer wordt zoals het was. Gratis tip. Een lidmaatschap op PowNed is het ideale verjaarscadeau voor al je vrienden en familie! Pak het mooi in, pakken wij straks in Hilversum uit. 12. PowNed niet goed? Geld terug met winst! Tot 1 april hebben we de tijd om 50.000 leden te werven. Twee weken na oprichting zitten we al bijna op de helft. Lukt het ons echter niet om de resterende leden te halen, dan krijg jij je geld terug. Plus een kwartje rente! Omgerekend is dat een rendement van 18 procent op jaarbasis. Een prima investering dus.

Doe mee! Ga naar www.powned.tv en word lid!

De vorm van tekst Iedereen is een typograaf. Dat moet de conclusie wel zijn als je ziet hoe vaak mensen vandaag de dag beslissingen nemen over letterkeuze en layout als ze communiceren via de computer. Toch weten maar weinig computergebruikers hoe letterfonts precies werken en waaraan een effectieve layout moet voldoen om ook de lezer daadwerkelijk te bereiken. De vorm van tekst behandelt op praktische wijze typografie in al zijn breedte. Het is in eerste instantie bedoeld voor design studenten en beginnende ontwerpers, maar richt zich ook op mensen die zich met de inhoud van teksten bezig houden, zoals redacteuren, schrijvers en journalisten. Aan de hand van vele voorbeelden van beroemde ontwerpers uit de hele wereld, laat het boek zien hoe en op welke manier typografie werkt in een groot aantal verschillende toepassingen. De vorm van tekst start bij het kijken naar grafisch werk, in druk, op het scherm of in de openbare ruimte. Vervolgens analyseert de auteur de bouwstenen van het werk, zoals de typografie, beeld, ornament, layout en kleur. Naast veel hedendaags werk, gebruikt de auteur ook prachtige historische voorbeelden van typografische vormgeving. Achterin het boek is een chronologisch overzicht van typografie en druktechnieken opgenomen.

Maps and labyrinths Makers van tekens en artefacten hebben altijd de neiging gehad de proporties en eigenschappen van hun ontwerpen te baseren op vormen in de natuur of de (van de natuur afgeleide) geometrie. De vormgeving van boeken is daarop geen uitzondering. De traditie van de symmetrische ordening van elementen bijvoorbeeld, die we ook op veel andere terreinen terugvinden, heeft te maken met hoe we zelf in elkaar zitten: de mens is, net als veel andere dieren, min of meer symmetrisch. Ook voor de onderlinge verhoudingen tussen de elementen op een pagina zijn manieren uitgevonden om aan de willekeur te

ontsnappen. Er zijn allerlei geraffineerde en veelal ‘geheime’ formules bedacht voor het vaststellen van de juiste proporties van de bladspiegel. Sommige daarvan zijn gerelateerd aan de Gulden Snede, ofwel Divina Proportione (goddelijke verhouding); wat dat is weet iedereen die The Da Vinci Code.Tegenwoordig worden er juist vrij veel vierkante boeken gemaakt, meestal tussen de 20 en 21 cm hoog en breed, en dat heeft te maken met de bestaande standaardformaten voor papier: je krijgt veel boek voor je geld. Bij vierkante formaten heeft het weinig zin om de zetspiegel te gaan op zijn intuïtie en zijn oog.

Of het een marketingcampagne, een museumtentoonstelling, een videospel of een complex besturingssysteem betreft, steeds is het ontwerp ervan de culminatie van concepten en praktijken uit allerlei disciplines. Omdat niemand expert op elk gebied kan zijn, hebben ontwerpers altijd in verschillende bronnen en naslagwerken moeten zoeken naar de benodigde vakkennis en informatie. Totdat dit boek verscheen. Universele ontwerpprincipes is het eerste interdisciplinaire naslagwerk voor ontwerpers. In dit rijk geïllustreerde en overzichtelijk geordende boek worden de vormgevingsconcepten helder beschreven en voorzien van geïllustreerde voorbeelden uit de praktijk. Van de ‘80/20 regel’ tot ‘chunking’, van de ‘Babyface-factor’ tot ‘Ockhams scheermes’ van de ‘taille-heupverhouding’ tot ‘cognitieve dissonantie’: je komt alles te weten over 100 veel voorkomende ontwerpprincipes. Dit baanbrekende naslagwerk is het standaardwerk voor ontwerpers, technici, architecten en studenten die hun expertise op het gebied van vormgeving willen verbreden en verbeteren. Deze editie is herzien en aangevuld met 25 extra ontwerpprincipes.

Mapping Een relatie tussen bedieningspanelen en hun bewegingen of effecten. Een goede mapping tussen bedieningspanelen en hun effecten leidt tot een groter gebruiksgemak.1 Draai aan een wiel, zet een schakelaar om of druk op een knop en u verwacht dat dit een gevolg heeft. Als dit gevolg overeenkomt met de verwachting, wordt de mapping beschouwd als goed of natuurlijk. Als het gevolg niet overeenkomt met de verwachting, wordt de mapping als gebrekkig beschouwd. Een voorbeeld: de elektrische raambediening in een auto kan zo worden geplaatst dat het omhoog doen van de schakelaar overeenkomt met het omhoog gaan van het raam en het omlaag doen van de schakelaar met het laten zakken van het raam. De relatie tussen de bediening en het omhoog en omlaag gaan van het raam ligt voor de hand. Vergelijk dit met een plaatsing van de bedieningsschakelaar op een armleuning, zodat de bedieningsbeweging voor- en achterwaarts is. De relatie tussen de bediening en het omhoog en omlaag gaan van het raam is niet langer duidelijk. Komt het naar voren duwen van de schakelaar overeen met het omhoog of omlaag gaan van het raam?2 Goede mapping is primair een functie van vergelijkbaarheid van layout, gedrag of betekenis. Als de layout van een kookplaat overeenkomt met de layout van de branders, is sprake van een vergelijkbare layout. Draait u het stuur naar links en auto gaat naar links, dan is dit vergelijkbaar gedrag. Als een alarmknop rood is uitgevoerd, is er sprake van vergelijkbare betekenis (de meeste mensen associëren rood met stoppen). In elk geval zorgt vergelijkbaarheid dat de relatie tussen bediening en gevolg voorspelbaar is en daardoor voor bedieningsgemak.3 Plaats een bedieningsfunctie zo dat plaats en gedrag overeenstemmen met de layout en het gedrag van het apparaat. Eenvoudige relaties tussen bediening en effect werken het best. Vermijd zo mogelijk het gebruik van een enkele bedieningsmogelijkheid voor verscheidene functies. Het is moeilijk om een goede mapping voor een dergelijke relatie te bereiken. In gevallen waarin dit niet mogelijk is, gebruikt u visueel te onderscheiden standen (met verschillende kleuren) om de actieve functies aan te duiden. Wees voorzichtig als u vertrouwt op conventies over de betekenis van bedieningsknoppen, want verschillende bevolkingsgroepen interpreteren de afspraken verschillend (in Engeland gaat het licht uit als u de schakelaar omhoog doet en omgekeerd).

Ook bekend als bedienings-display-relatie en compatibiliteit van stimulus en respons.

Het oorspronkelijk werk over mapping is: The Design of Everyday Things door Donald Norman, Doubleday, 1990.

Voor een bespreking van deze onderwerpen zie: Spatial Schemas and Abstract Thought door Merideth Gattis (red.), MIT Press, 2001.

Leun achteruit, u gaat naar achteren

De relatie tussen knoppen en branders op een kookplaat is onduidelijk als de knoppen horizontaal en met gelijke tussenruimten zijn aangebracht (gebrekkige mapping). De relatie wordt duidelijker als de bedieningsknoppen met de branders gegroepeerd zijn, zij het dat de horizontale plaatsing verwarring blijft geven: welke knop hoort bij welke brander (gebrekkige, maar verbeterde mapping). Als de layout van de bedieningsknoppen overeenkomt met de layout van de branders, is de relatie knop-brander duidelijk (goede mapping).

Leun voorwaarts, u gaat naar voren

De relatie tussen de bedieningsknoppen van het raam en het omhoog en omlaag gaan van het raam is duidelijk als die in de deur zijn bevestigd (goede mapping), maar vaag als deze zijn bevestigd op de armsteun (gebrekkige mapping).

Zie ook: Affordance, Interferentie-effect, Nabijheid en Zichtbaarheid.

De Segway Human Transporter maakt een uitstekend gebruik van mapping. Leun naar voren en u gaat naar voren, leun naar achteren en u gaat naar achteren.

Never Use Pop Up Windows And 50 other Ridiculous Web Rules This is the fourth part in the Ridiculous Design Rules series by Anneloes van Gaalen. The first publication in the series, Never Use White Type on a Black Background, was reprinted only four months after it was released and now enjoys its second reprint. Part two Never Leave the House Naked (on rules in fashion) has also been reprinted already. This new part is about ridiculous rules in the use of the Web. It is not only about Web design, but also about rules that apply to communicating through the Internet. Think of the do’s and don’ts and etiquette in the use of e-mail and the idea of publishing everything you do or think on social sites, such as Hyves, Facebook and YouTube. In these pleasing and insightful books, it is not about laying down the law. For each of the 51 rules covered, Van Gaalen refers to quotes by famous designers who think there is something to the rule or who have made a personal variation of it.

Never Use More Than Two Different Typefaces And 50 other Ridiculous Typography Rules This is the fifth book in the Ridiculous Design Rules series by Anneloes van Gaalen. This new publication is about ridiculous – or not? – rules in typography, a joy for graphic designers and everyone who has anything to do with designing texts. Like no other, this is a world that is held together by rules, which designers, of course, often take great delight in breaking. In this series, ‘ridiculous’ is a relative term, because what is nonsense for one can be an important guideline for another. In these pleasing and educational books, it is not about laying down the law. For each of the 51 rules covered in each book, Van Gaalen refers to quotes by famous fellow designers, who either think there is something to the rule or have made a personal variation of it. Whether you agree with them or not, the Ridiculous Design books sharpen your own thoughts about the rules and the assumed truths of design, advertising, fashion, photography and the Internet. Each rule is convincingly illustrated, with the illustrations either confirming or disproving the rule in question.

EVERYONE

Everyone is a Designer Manifest for the Design Economy

iN thE aGE

In 2001 BIS published the first Everyone is a Designer, Manifest for the Design Economy and reprinted it several times. This little bestseller of the beginning of this millennium has been out of print for several years. The editors Mieke Gerritzen en Geert Lovink now revisit the subject based on the assumption that since 2001 the proposal of the democratization of the design world has become reality in 2010. This completely new version of the book will look at the position of design itself in the ever expanding areas it finds itself in. The growth of design schools seems unstoppable. The designers born after 1980 have a total different view on visual culture, on esthetical products, visions and history than the people born before the eighties. The (communication) esthetics are in constant temporary state, design became a dynamic and unstable area. All these developments poses new questions on the status of the designer and its trade. With visual contributions, quotes and short essays from dozens of international designers, thinkers, critics and strategists this new booklet present a new Manifest for the design economy of 2010 and beyond.

A primer for typography Packed with tips and insights on how to work with type Useful for education and everyone who works with text and layout and wants to know more about how effective design works within a given context

Everyone is a typographer. This is the inevitable conclusion when looking at the way in which today’s computer users are forced to make decisions about fonts and layout for their day-to-day communication. Writing, typesetting and printing have become part of almost everyone’s experience. However, many users are clueless about how fonts work, what constitutes a functional layout and how to communicate best with readers. There has even been a decline in basic typographic knowledge among young design professionals. And yet, a thoughtful and purpose-driven shaping of text lies at the basic of effective, powerful graphic communication. Shaping Text takes a practical and broad approach to typography. It is aimed at design students and graphic designers, and also at those who are concerned with content: writers, editors and publishers. Showing a wide range of examples from first-rate designers across the world, the book examines why and how typographic designs work well in a given context. Shaping Text starts by looking at graphic products – in print, on the screen and in the environment – and examines the constituting elements, including type, image, ornament, layout, and colour. Historical examples are used as references for most genres of text-shaping; a chronological overview of type design and printing techniques forms a lengthy appendix rather than the core of the book.

Comprehensive primer on how to design effective diagrams With an inspirational gallery of examples of diagrams from around the world Very useful for education and for information designers when help or inspiration is needed

Designing Diagrams is a guide to the world of diagrammatic presentation of facts, figures, thoughts, processes and relations. The practice of designing effective diagrams in order to present information graphically, is an essential element in a designer’s skills set. Often the one in which most designers struggle to find the most effective solutions. Diagram design is a very under-represented category in the book market, even though many designers are required to create and present diagrams to clients on a regular basis. The effective design of a diagram is an art form in itself in that the creator must decipher complex information and put it into an easy-to-understand format that is accessible and visually pleasing to the end user. It takes an understand-ing of the practice to create effective diagrams, and this book presents the information and inspiration that will allow designers to put the art into practice. This book will serve as a visual resource and course manual for designers, students and professionals, but the book should also prove useful to statisticians, economists and teachers.

A new vision and method on product design from the Faculty of Design at the Delft University Integrates a structural approach with personal expression Very useful for both design students and design practitioners

The authors, design practitioners and educators, bringing together in this book 15 years of knowledge, practice and research, have produced the first book about how designers can formulate a vision for new and appropriate products. They call this new approach Vision in Product Design (ViP). It strikes a good balance between structuring the process of design while allowing the designers to take a personal position and fully express themselves in producing a product. ViP is both a method and a design philosophy. Besides explaining what ViP is all about, the book offers a rich array of narratives, including conversations, cases, literature and creative materials (both academic and popular) and illustrative models and pictures. Through these different pathways the reader will better understand ViP and will be able to interact with the book, both in practice and in an educational context in more various ways. The book is primarily targeted at stu-dents in design education, both in product design, as in interactive and strategic design. But design practitioners will also find the book a perfect ref-erence manual for structuring design activities, providing concepts for discussion and helping in avoiding design mistakes.

Eat Love Food Concepts by EatingDesigner Marije Vogelzang

Sketching

After her graduation from the Design Academy in Eindhoven in 2000, Marije Vogelzang has been designing eating concepts. Her interest is in the verb ‘to eat’. Not only does she think deeply about what is on the plate (if there is a plate at all), but she also thinks about everything that surrounds the act of eating. The atmosphere, the people involved, the stories behind the ingredients, the taste and texture, sound, smell and colour of food and the way it is prepared and served. This book makes her vision available for the first time.

A book on sketching for product designers has long been desired. The lack of a good manual led the authors of this book, who both teach design drawing techniques, to take the task into their own hands. The result is an incredibly broad and practical survey of sketching techniques for product designers. Every design studio will find this manual an asset, for in spite of the ascendency of the computer, hand-drawn sketches are still a very much-used, personal and powerful way of putting design ideas on paper and communicating them to colleagues, producers and clients. This book can be regarded as a standard book on design sketching for product design students.

Never Leave the House Naked And 50 other Ridiculous Fashion Rules

The Medium is the Message And 50 other Ridiculous Advertising Rules

The international fashion police is a force to be reckoned with. Armed with an endless list of rules, it dictates all the do’s and don’ts and acts as both judge and jury in dealing with those guilty of committing a crime against fashion. But while some of the rules that are enforced by the fashion-conscious are nothing short of ridiculous, others serve as words of wisdom that can prevent people from committing a fashion faux-pas. This book contains fifty-one of these rules, which can be twisted, broken or ignored altogether.

Every single day we’re bombarded with a regular onslaught of advertising. The paper you read, the magazine you buy, the radio show you listen to: they all feature ads. Not surprising then that advertising has been called the greatest art form of the 20th century, as well as the biggest evil man has ever produced. Whether or not you believe in a thing called ARTvertising or think that advertising is downright diabolical, you’re at least bound to find this list of 51 rules very enjoyable.

Also featured: Rem Koolhaas’s talking to Galahad Clarke about United Nude, their new avant-garde shoe design adventure.

Also, a look at Patriotism & Flags and their relationship with brands and logos and an interview with Berlin-based fashion designers Bless.

Graphic 04 sets out to explore the idea of the environment. What is around us varies from our eco-system, to a group of friends, the stars (be it in the astronomical, astrological or even in the cinematographic sense), heat waves, floods, disaster movies, loud neighbours or the end of print. In this issue’s essay Michael Evamy looks at the relationship between visual arts and environmental issues. Why aren’t graphic designers and visual artists doing more to help the public understand key environmental issues. What can be done? What should be done?

Graphic 08 goes to war against functionalism. If ‘ornament is a crime’ as Adolf Loos once declared, then most of those featured in this volume shall plead guilty of attempting to transcend functionality. An animated trip through the contemporary psycho romantic trend towards the highly ornate, the infinitely rich and the compulsively detailed. Ornate! features work from a variety of fields and an international list of contributors.

As always, Graphic offers an eruption of visual contributions that yield an equal number of wonderful stories.

Humour is a powerful tool in visual communication. Graphic 11, or Graphic Ha Ha, explores the various ways in which images and words can be combined (or not combined) to make us stop, look, frown, reflect, wince, grin, chuckle, shrink, shrug, smirk and, occasionally, laugh out loud. Dead-pan, sarcasm, slap-stick, absurd, clever, devious, surreal, hysterical, obscure, twisted, sick, camp, offensive, ridicule...

In its 12th issue, Graphic sets out to explore the current craze for customization, allowing readers to draw, rip, glue-back-together, paint, design, spray or whatever they feel like doing to their own covers. Graphic editors asked creatives from around the world to come up with toys, t-shirts, CD covers, books, magazines, jeans, plates, notebooks, postcards, lampshades, mini-skirts, Russian dolls – you name it – and then customize them. Also containing 8 special pages with stuff you can customize yourself.
