Dear reader, A visual feast of all our forthcoming and current titles is symbolically represented by the cover of this catalogue with a beautiful image by artist Sarah Wickings, taken from our new Collage Memory Game. Visuals have the power to tell more than a thousand words. Take the ‘neon lights’ image by Bruce Nauman of the book Think Like an Artist, Don’t Act Like One: presenting 75 ways to look at art, and the life lessons we can learn from it. This image has all the ingredients that we hope to represent with our list. Human desires, needs, hopes and dreams… The desire to try to make a difference, to offer you books that makes you wonder, keep you eager, sate your hunger for knowledge and broaden your scope. The need to make books that open you up to new insights and ideas. The dream to continue working with so many nice, interesting and inspiring people who share their knowledge across creative fields with the world. The hope that you will appreciate the subjects we bring to you. The hope that they will inspire you and will enrich your life in a small way or big one…. Will our technology surpass our humanity? Not if we have a say in it. (Although Einstein was referring to something else, he obviously thought it had.) Augmented reality is fast becoming one of the most important emerging technologies. Looking at the impact of the technology as it matures into a groundbreaking platform, Augmenting Alice looks through social, commercial and behavioural lenses. It advances a discussion about the forefront of Augmented Reality development, and what its application, and eventual impact, might mean for society in the near future. And, as The Art of Wonder will show you, the bigger the online world grows, the stronger the need for real spaces of wonder and imagination becomes. Physical space is still the genuine domain for people to let themselves be indulged with immersive storytelling and social interaction. It’s a great new book about experience design.

Before publicising your brand, you need to carefully position it. How do you stand out from the competition in this busy world? Contrarian Branding shows how brands catch the eye by creating polarity. This goes beyond just being different. This book offers insight into the sophisticated technique used to set brands apart from all other competitors in a radical way. In our rapidly changing, digital society 21st century skills are indispensable. Notes on Design introduces practices as part of these skills. It helps design students across all fields to reflect on their practices. The 7 Principles of Complete Co-Creation presents a comprehensive view on the subject. It is a practical handbook on how to utilize complete co-creation in order to create sustainable value with end-users and other relevant stakeholders. This is just a glimpse of our new professional books.

New titles Augmenting Alice The Future of Identity, Experience and Reality By Galit Ariel Augmented Reality is fast becoming one of the most important emerging technologies, with unprecedented investment growth and interest from big tech platforms and accelerator industries. It will most certainly become THE new platform and standard for content creation and experience generation. Its use will make it an essential resource, with a societal impact that can only be compared to the World Wide Web’s global influence. This book provides a ‘wide lens’ perspective of the potential, challenges and impact that the widespread implementation of Augmented Reality will bring.

• Focusing at present and future societal impact and value of Augmented Reality • Contains an Augmented Layer that allows an updateable data and visual illustration layer • Relevant to multiple leading industries related to content and value creation: Advertisement, Entertainment & Media, Retail, Art, Business, Education and more

The book introduces Augmented Reality’s core concepts and potential to newbies and experts alike. Looking at the impact of the technology as it matures into a ground-breaking platform, it goes beyond function to explore the context of the technology’s implementation – through social, commercial and behavioural lenses. It raises a discussion about the forefront of Augmented Reality development, and what its application, and eventual impact, might mean for society in the near future. The book explores current issues already arising in the digital age, including changing behaviours and social etiquettes, identity in the digital age, privacy and ethical concerns. Galit Ariel is a creative and strategic thinker with international leadership experience in industrial design, retail & fashion, and education. Galit completed her education at world-leading universities within the creative arts. Her MA thesis focused on Augmented Reality. Galit’s keynote speech about Augmented Reality – at the conference South by Southwest (#SXSW17) – has brought attention to her work from across the globe. 256 pages | 25 x 21 cm | Hardcover | ISBN 978 90 6369 470 8 | € 34.00 Publication date: June 2017

Beyond the Mirror

Such power marks many opportunities, but also forms divides within the urban ecosystem and in relation to external systems. This puts in play the need to evaluate future governance and policies that relate to population density in terms of geopolitical influence. Social, economic, ecological and political adjustments will be necessary to deal with ever-growing urban clusters, and the resources required to support it. Mega cities require smart systems in order to oversee operational/functional elements and human/behavioural ones that will ensure the sustainable cohabitation. A continuous increase in population density will transform community hierarchies and infrastructure, inevitably requiring new ways of sharing public space. Coops and cohabitating residential compounds are slowly emerging, and though there is much to resolve in terms of social interaction, the idea of shared resources and costs may be the best option for high density, over-developed urban clusters. We can already see municipal and private initiatives, such as the Common – a co-living start-up – and Liu Xiaodu’s DenCity – a sustainable living/working environment within highdensity areas – which both exhibited at the 2016 London Design Biennale. It’s important to remember that cohabitation societies and structures are ideal on paper, but challenging in application. Seeing the Israeli model of the ‘Kibbutz’ fundamentally fail and transform into a capitalistic and highly limited cohabitation community model provides many opportunities to learn, and adapt a better model for using shared resources.

Besides the functional challenges that we would need to consider, such as upgrading and adapting infrastructures, we would need to develop social solutions for employment, service and interaction needs. Increased habitat density means increased social friction, as well as a sense of social isolation. Futurist Alvin Toffler made the following statement in the 1970’s “The average urban individual today probably comes into contact with more people in a week than the feudal villager did in a year, perhaps even a lifetime.

Together with Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality shows unprecedented growth in both investment and interest within big technology platforms and accelerator industries. When we look at implementation case studies, products and processes, we can see that we have developed tunnel vision about Augmented Reality – by considering it as a technology product. Instead, the Augmented Reality horizon is to become the new standard platform for content creation and experience generation, becoming as essential as other common resources, with an impact that can only be compared with the global influence of the World Wide Web.

The “one ring to rule them all” is Augmented Reality.

The ability to easily maintain a split identity would be interesting to explore, in terms of whether users would maintain understated physical features, layering an outspoken identity on top, or vice versa. And how would the ‘coming out’ to the true self look like. This idea of an augmentation would allow an exploration of gender, religious and social dogmas, would an augmented Burka required to be applied by the female, or a layer placed on every female by the male viewer? Same goes for augmented bodily enhancements. The idea of allowing users to capture and augment other people’s presence is one that might be considered funny - and from conversations I had with snapchat users who already [ab]use facial recognition to capture and augment a stranger’s image, and distribute it

As the craze of “innovation” as a hype word dies out, its value as a transformative tool will remain. Yet the focus of innovation as a business tool will shift to its usage in creating experiential value. We can see signs of this tranformation in examples such as a recent LA Times article that declared that the word “innovation” would finally clear the path for the word “immersive.” Let’s take a closer look at the ripples Augmented Reality will create as it evolves and is further applied in the public and private domain. The rate of development has accelerated over the last few decades, and with it the dominance of technology in all areas of life. Regardless of the industry or platform, we are completing a cycle of digital transformation where disruption, access and immediacy become core values and factors for success. For those following the “start-up soup” closely, relevant technologies, such as the Internet of Things, real-time, cloud storage, Global Positioning System (GPS) and Wearables are all materializing into everyday tools. We are witnessing the era where science fiction becomes a tangible reality.

In structured societies and bodies (from military and religious regimes and societies), the nuances within your religious outfit would signify precise affiliations internal hierarchy and status of the person from pins and marks, uniforms colour and material, and up to the tilt of the hat. Thus, our physical appearance and the preparation ritual related to it signify a certain commitment to our status and the message we want to portray – at least in public. Once we would add an augmented layer to our appearance, modifying and even altering it instantly, the question would be how attached and committed we would we be to our identity, after all we could easily form specific filters that would simultaneously represent different personas within different groups and context – a dignified office manager to co-workers, and a pierced rock star to anyone else.

Since the nature and expression of intimacies and relationships would be effected by augmentation, it would in turn shape broader behavioural and social interactions. Social etiquette is a tool that transforms cultural signals to behaviours norms to facilitate and maintains social hierarchies. This relates directly to physical gestures, rituals and representation within both public and private space. We alter our appearance or presence to manifest our identity, cultural and social affiliation. The extent of which also classifying further the user’s affiliation - the more complete and permanent the more we suggest commitment – there is a difference between applying your favourite team’s cap, a full uniform or tattoo.

New titles The Art of Wonder Experience Design for Curious People By Erik Bär and Stan Boshouwers In this revealing book, two pioneers reassemble the past 25 years, showing how constructed experience became central to our lives. They arrive at an original conclusion: immersive experience design is not just the latest new media extension. It is related to our way of being, of finding our way in life. When used in the right way, it serves as an instrument for massive, multi agent change. The Art of Wonder not only gives a thorough analysis of the psychological foundations of Experience Design and its rise into cultural and commercial realms, it also provides practical tips to build engaging worlds for your audiences. Loaded with the light hearted history of their own XD-firm, one gets more than a feeling for this way of work.

• Richly illustrated book of one of the stars of today’s marketing: Experience Design • Provides answers for everyone who wants to really engage their audience • Integrates 2D, 3D, digital and theatrical design in one praxis

From museums to theme parks and from A-brands to governments, Experience Design (XD) is paramount in today’s creative industry. Imagination is becoming the ultimate canvas for connecting people to brands, stories, and places. It will be of interest to all students and professionals active in experience design, including their bosses and clients. Since the book contains a first person account of discovering what XD is, it will function as a companion for designers and senior managers alike, since a growing segment of today’s bigger organizations launches experiential marketing initiatives, posing new questions to their Marketing & Communication departments. Erik Bär and Stan Boshouwers studied Cognitive Artificial Intelligence at Utrecht University in The Netherlands. In 1991, they founded Tinker imagineers, now one of the leading experience design agencies in Europe. 240 pages | 27 x 21 cm | Hardcover | ISBN 978 90 6369 464 7 | € 34.00 Publication date: 2018

Contemporary experience design combines the best of both worlds. On the one hand, we start from the assumption that the public is made up of complex, multi-dimensional people, who have the same dreams, fears and longing as we do. This starting point may seem obvious, yet it is seldom applied in communication projects. On the other hand, we are convinced that everyone is soulful and that people are looking for inspirational experiences. By addressing people at their individual level of aspiration, we help them to catch glimpses of twhat the world might look like. Contemporary experience design is dedicated to connecting people at this level. This is extremely useful to spread the ideas of our times, that is to say, the solutions that will make the world a healthier, more beautiful or more sensible place.

New titles Contrarian Branding Stand Out by Camouflaging the Competition By Roland van der Vorst The world is busier than ever. One of the major challenges for brands is how to stand out from the competition: brands competing for market share, new brands that are being introduced, and indeed politicians fighting for attention in a crowded arena. In the ocean of competing supply, it’s easier to drown than to float to the surface. While warehouses’ shelves overflow, inboxes and servers fill up and everyone has more and more choice, the question arises: How do brands consistently get themselves noticed in a world that has more and more to offer?

• Polarity is a sophisticated technique to set brands apart from all other competitors in a radical way • The author is a Professor, entrepreneur and advisor: combining rigor of thinking with 20 years of practical experience in business • It helps markteteers, brand managers, entrepreneurs and students to create brands that stand out

The answer is certainly not to create more and more messages. Instead, brand managers should be able to craft ‘polar’ brand associations. This book shows how brands catch the eye by creating polarity. This goes further than just being different. It’s a sophisticated technique to set brands apart from all other competitors in a radical way. This can be done by creating brand associations that radically split a competitive field into absolute opposites or are able to reconcile these in unexpected ways. Lightheartedly and with a wealth of examples, the book describes unique ways of guaranteeing brands to create a break through. Contrarian Branding is a must for brands eager to stand out from the crowd. Prof. dr. van der Vorst is Managing Director of FreedomLab and Professor of Strategic Design for Brand Development at TU Delft, the Netherlands. Roland has always worked at the crossroads of strategic and creative thinking and is considered a thought leader in the field of strategic brand management. Roland has been a chairman of BBDO Netherlands, launched his own agency (THEY) and has been an entrepreneur in Singapore. 192 pages | 21.5 x 14.5 cm | Paperback | ISBN 978 90 6369 463 0 | € 17.00 Publication date: September 2017

New titles The 7 Principles of Complete Co-Creation By Stefanie Jansen and Maarten Pieters The 7 Principles of Complete Co-Creation presents a comprehensive view on co-creation. Illustrated by various international case studies, it explains co-creation not as a method, tool or project, but as a new paradigm in which endusers play an ongoing, active role with and for organizations that are relevant to them. It reads like a practical handbook on how to utilize complete co-creation in order to create sustainable value with end-users and other relevant parties. Since co-creation is a relatively new discipline, not much has been written on the topic. The authors have bundled their years of practical experience to fill this gap. Unlike any existing publication, this book provides the reader with a clear co-creation framework, giving practical answers to questions such as: ‘what is co-creation and how does it work?’, ‘whom to involve in a co-creation process?’, ‘how to convince others of the benefits of co-creation and overcome barriers?’.

• First practical and complete ‘how to co-create in the most effective way’ self-help book • The consistent focus on the enduser is a unique point of view • Insight in complete co-creation through the elaborate discussion of (prize winning) national cases

Stefanie Jansen and Maarten Pieters are the founders of TheCoCreators, an international network of co-creation experts. Together they have over thirty years of experience in market research and innovation and have done more than 350 projects for various companies and organizations, both business-to-business and business-to-consumer, nationally and internationally. Maarten currently holds the position of Head of Co-creation & People Insight at Philips Lighting in The Netherlands. Stefanie works as an independent co-creation and kids marketing specialist, both in The Netherlands and the USA, where she is based. 208 pages | 23 x 18 cm | paperback with flaps | ISBN 978 90 6369 473 9 | € 34.00 Publication date: November 2017

New titles Notes on Design How Creative Practice Works By Kees Dorst This book introduces practices as are now part of what people see as ‘21st Century Skills’. The enjoyable essays in this book provide a panoramic view over the subject of design. The essays are written to encourage designers and students of design to reflect upon their field. Fundamental questions are raised about the nature of design, about designers themselves, and about the role of design within the broader contexts of business and society. The essays provide a very close and intimate description of Design, based on the study of the practices of expert designers. The one-page essays in this book all deal with a particular aspect of design as a creative practice, and offer a foothold for understanding. All the pieces can be read independently of the others, but they are bundled together in chapters to deal with a topic more thoroughly and completely.

• Almost 200 precisely formulated mini-essays give insight into the design process and encourage reflection • A panoramic view over the subject of design • Based on the study of the practices of expert designers

And design, these days, is not just for designers - many different fields are learning from design to build creative practices, and this book seeks to help opening up design practices for general use. The book is for designers (to help them reflect on their practices, and develop those further) and for students of design across all designing disciplines. Kees Dorst trained as an industrial design engineer at Delft University of Technology. He has worked as a product designer for various design firms and, as a researcher, he has studied the ways in which designers work. He is Professor of Design Innovation at the University of Technology, Sydney. He is the author of Frame Innovation, the coauthor of Design Expertise and the author of Designing for the Common Good. 208 pages | 22 x 15 cm | Paperback | ISBN 978 90 6369 465 4 | € 17.00 Publication date: September 2017

New titles Your Work and Your Life Towards a True Win-Win By Krist Pauwels A lot of people regard their professional life as a ‘different’ life than their private life. But don’t we all have one life? Of which work is an integral part. This book shows you how you can use your full potential and that of your (work) environment in three easy steps. In accordance with the Ego to We-go principle, it illustrates how you can be the same person in both areas for 100% and can create a good work-life balance.

• Increase your personal awareness not to switch off from the world, but to connect yourself to it • The Me-We-principle: You get more space, more peace of mind • From Ego to We-Go: Cherish your ego, look for what it needs, look for the emotions behind it

In most areas of our life we derive our identity from the labels others give us. This is why the left side of our brain has become very dominant while the right side of the brain tends not to be so prominent. We can consider this reality as ‘above the table’ and ‘under the table’. Above the table we experience the rational reality in which you fulfill a specific role. ‘Under the table’ is a hidden reality of emotions, intuitions and beliefs. They don’t channel their way to the rational reality, but are key to how we feel and our well-being. We do not seek this hidden reality. Conversely, we put a lot of energy into ignoring and avoiding a confrontation with it. When people consciously start using their hidden reality, seeing it and sharing it, it immediately changes the work situation. We can use this to get more out of our life and work and to tap into new energy and creativity again and again. You are happier, are able to work together better and you can get more out of situations you find yourself in. Krist Pauwels is co-founder and partner at Choco, a communications agency specialising in publicity, DNA work, and internal and external communication. 128 pages | 19.5 x 13.5 cm | Hardcover | ISBN 978 90 6369 469 2 | € 15.00 Publication date: October 2017

New titles Think Like an Artist, Don’t Act Like One By Koos de Wilt This book presents 75 ways to look at art and the life lessons you can learn from it. From the works of ancient Egypt and Greece to today’s abstract and conceptual pieces, by way of Leonardo, Dürer and Rembrandt, Picasso, Warhol and Ai Wei Wei, art inspires us to take a fresh look at the fundamental questions we face. Questions about success, about love, about work, about friendship and about life and death. Think Like an Artist, Don’t Act Like One is a lively introduction to art history as it resonates in your own daily life, and as an exhortation to look at art in your personal way. Koos de Wilt is an art historian and writer. He produces stories, books, films and concepts that combine art with the other important things in life. His published works include the management book Rembrandt Inc. and, for children, The Big Rijksmuseum Read-Aloud Book.

SHOW SOME EMOTION Giotto di Bondone (1266/67-1337), Scrovegni Chapel, Padua

The Renaissance only really began with the Tuscan artist Giotto. Not since Antiquity had a painter portrayed his figures with such realism, and so imbued them with genuine emotion. In the Middle Ages, human feelings were depicted at best as caricatures, and at worst they were absent altogether. The people in Biblical scenes were often nothing more than inanimate dolls. In the Scrovegni Chapel, the apostles and angels shed real, thick human tears for the first time in many, many centuries. In their ecstatic gestures and facial expressions, we feel the deep sorrow of a mother.

Traditionally, every brushstroke in art has to be considered, every detail intentional. But real life is not like that; not everything is within your control. Not even now, in our modern age. Action painting accepts that by – to an extent – detaching itself from the artist’s ego and expressiveness. The work seems to paint itself. Pollock laid his canvases on the floor of his studio and walked over them again and again, allowing gobbets of paint to drip from a brush, stick, trowel or knife. Sometimes he even threw paint straight from the tin onto the canvas. He resided in the painting. In his “drip” works, Pollock wanted to give the creative process a role of its own. And somehow the composition always succeeds, simply because he trusted that process.

BE HONEST Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669), Self-Portrait at the Age of 63, National Gallery, London

The rest of the world sees you as you are, warts and all. But you still scrutinize every photograph to check that you look attractive and happy enough, without the wrinkles you know you have. Three-hundred and fifty years may have passed, yet we still adore Rembrandt and every lump and crease on his face. Even in his own lifetime, his self-portraits were much sought-after by art lovers across Europe. He produced more than eighty in all, revealing himself in every stage of life and frame of mind. From the arrogant gaze of the overambitious young man to the ageing, worn-down artist feeling all the pain his earthly existence has brought him. Dating from the year of his death, this work seems an honest depiction of someone with life experience. Of a man familiar with the setbacks we all face sooner or later. Rembrandt lets us look in his mirror, with compassion. Such is life, and so be it.

New titles The F***ing History of Swearing By Anna Maria Kiosse Swearing is and always has been regarded as undereducated, obscene, rude and profane in society. It has been censored, forbidden and the institutions of power continue to ban it from society and all media. Yet despite our mum’s best efforts, cussing is mainstream. It’s even more than that, it’s an integrated part of our culture. We have used profane language since the beginning of time. The number of times we swear is huge. It happens almost automatically and you would have to almost force yourself if you’d want to stop using cuss words.. We don’t plan to use them, you wouldn’t think twice about shouting the word “fuck” if you were to hurt yourself. It happens automatically and that’s the interesting point.

• A treasure trove of interesting information about the history of swearing • Highly illustrated in a very unique design style • Hilariously written gift book

So is swearing an instinct then? Where did it actually come from and when did it become such a bad thing? What’s the fucking history of swearing? Where does the hidden power of these words even come from? Why does it make you feel so great? Could we use the power of these words and phrases wisely as a tool in our daily life and appreciate the fact that we have them and their emotional effect on us? Having spent some time on searching and looking for the answers to these questions this book is a treasure trove of interesting information on this beautifully offensive topic. Anna Maria Kiosse is a one woman show - art director, illustrator, photographer, inventor, collector, storyteller and a storyseller. Currently she is living in Amsterdam and working as a freelance creative. She went to State Academy of Arts in Stuttgart and finished there with a degree in Art Direction & Graphic Design. Since then she has worked for Studio Orel, Bureau Linientreu, Wieden&Kennedy and for fabulous Kesselskramer in Amsterdam. 168 pages | 23 x 17 cm | paperback | ISBN 978 90 6369 467 8 | € 15.00 Publication date: October 2017

New titles Collage Memory Game By Anja Brunt Move over, Man Ray, there are new collage artists in town! Match the contemporary works of 30 different artists and get inspired by the colorful and comprehensive card deck. Collage Memory Game provides you an insight into the broad art movement. Collage is a technique of art production, primarily used in the visual arts, where the artwork is made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole. It allowed artists to engage with existing materials, to which they could assign new contexts in order to create a brand new artwork. Ranging from newspapers and magazines to maps, tickets, propaganda, photographs, ribbons, postage stamps, paint, text and found objects, the elements of Collage participate in a handy creative process of putting artworks together and even breaking them apart, in an artistic exploration unto the unknown.

Recent titles This Human Applying Human Principles to Design Thinking By Melis Senova There are many great design books in existence that teach us about design process, tools and methods. With the increasing popularity of design thinking and human-centred design we’ve also seen more material discussing various aspects of the practice. One missing aspect, almost in an ironic twist, is what it takes to be the actual person who is doing the designing. The name ‘This Human’ is referring to that person. The person who needs to observe to gain insight, to makes sense of their observations in a way that isn’t biased by their own world views. The person who needs to communicate in many different ways with many different intentions to communicate information which is often hard to access, difficult to grasp and just not that tangible. The person who is so passionate about having a positive impact they become exhausted one third of the way into their project. This book helps these people to learn more about themselves and how to think and be in their practice of design—to help them grasp all that is going on inside that then influences their creations. Dr. Melis Senova is a pioneer in design thinking, the founder of her own global strategic design consultancy, Huddle, and a highly-regarded and enterprising thought leader. 208 pages | 23 x 19 cm | Paperback | ISBN 978 90 6369 460 9 | €32

In his book Letters of Credit, the typographer Walter Tracy proposed the following method of spacing upper- and lower-case letters.

Demonstrated in Outsiders.

The book contains a number of essential tricks that designers need to know and understand. The typographic guidelines are difficult to remember, but with this book you don’t have to remember every single one of them.

Due to their symmetrical proportions, the standard letters of the upper-case alphabet are:

Upper-case metrics

Divide the letters into the following groups: Straight vertical strokes:

HBDEFIJK LMNPRU

Start out with a row of the letter 'H'. You should aim for a distance from the stem to the outmost point of the side bearings that is a little less than half of the width between the two sterms of the letter. The space between two adjoining 'Hs' will then be slightly less than the space between the stems.

Round strokes:

OCDGPQ

HHHHHHHH HHHHHHHH

Triangular letters:

AV W X Y

Since bold weights normally have smaller counters, these weights will often be more narrowly fitted than lighter weights.

The odd ones:

Interpolation and extrapolation

Compatible points in interpolation

Angular curves

Steady rhythm chor An ints po

In interpolation you create an extra weight based on two extreme weights, while in extrapolation you create the extra weight by adding or subtracting weight from one master weight. Ovink.

The distance between the verticals of the letter 'o' should be slightly bigger than the distance between the verticals of the letter 'n'. The size of the counter in the letters 'd', 'p', 'b', and 'q' should be somewhere in between the values of the counters in 'o' and 'n'.

For text typefaces, the diacritics should generally have the same optical weight as the letter.

The 'n' typically has serifs on both sides of the inner counter, while the 'u' only has an inner serif on the right stem. For the enclosed space of the two letters to appear identical, the width of the 'u' will sometimes need to be slightly narrower than the width of the 'n'.

To avoid the serif seemig to close up the counter in letters with two stems, the inside serifs are often shorter than the serifs on the outside of the stems. Swift Neue.

If you aim to interpolate two extreme weights, the weights should be created with compatible outlines in such a way that the same glyph in the two weights is built from the same number of anchor points, have the same starting point, and the same counter direction. If the points are not compatible, the glyph outline will be distorted.

The vertical and horizontal sides of an angular shaped 'o' should be slightly rounded. Otherwise, the shift between the round corner and the straight sides will seem too abrupt, and the straight area may appear to bend inwards.

Design Roadmapping

How to Research Trends

Concept Code

Timing is of strategic importance in catching opportunities and leveraging technological interventions. Timing is also crucial when new products are ready to launch. Being among the first can make a large difference in sales and market share. In between the initiation and the launch, different ‘roads’ lead to the creation of different products and services.

Sketching: the Basics

Sketching

Following the global success of Sketching, authors Koos Eissen and Roselien Steur now bring out the sequel entitled ‘Sketching: the Basics’. In fact, prequel would be a better word for this book, since it is aimed at the novice designer. ‘The Basics’ explains the rudiments of learning to draw both clearly and comprehensively using step-by-step illustrations, examples and strategies.

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. This book can be regarded as a standard book on design sketching for product design students.

The Exceptionally Simple Theory of Sketching

People who cannot draw well usually think that professional sketching is a complex and difficult process. However, after reading this book you will see that even the most complex sketches are just a structure of very simple, yet confidently drawn segments built on each other. Inserted in the front cover are 14 practice sheets on thick paper for the reader to practice with adding shadows to basic shapes.

Type Tricks

Shaping Text

Few of us will appreciate whether the typeface we read is legible, but we quickly notice if it is not. Creating type for optimal legibility is therefore an ungrateful task, since readers only register your failures. This book will not only help type designers create high-legibility typefaces, but also help graphic designers determine the optimal typeface for a given project.

‘Type Tricks’ is about typographical rules and the underlying structure of the work process in the design of new typefaces. In that way, it is both a reference book and a user manual. In an illustrative format, it presents the different stages of type design in an accessible manner. This book is perfect for design students because it’s not only a reference book, it’s also a user manual

Writing, typesetting and printing have become part of almost everyone’s experience. However, many users are clueless about how fonts work and how to communicate best with readers. ‘Shaping Text’ takes a practical and broad approach to typography. It examines the constituting elements of graphic products, including type, image, ornament, layout, and color.

A book about little known (un)useful facts about the creative field. Built as a dictionary it includes meaningful information, idle gossip and anecdotes from A to Z.

The Spontaneous City

Inspiration

This book showcases eye-opening ideas, concepts and trends that make a difference in the city of today and tomorrow.

The author presents sixty different architectural basic forms with both a schematic illustration and images of the forms applied in buildings. Perfect for students and architects looking to browse for inspiration and guidance.

This book presents a series of contemporary, diverse and innovative design strategies that vary in form, function and design intent. The common denominator of all projects is the alternative / experimental approach of combining both private and public spaces through mixed use projects. With project design as an innovative and socially and financially sustainable approach. Each project in the book is selected due to its different form, function, technique and design intent.

Performative Geometries Within the scope of the workshop on ‘Performative Geometries’, students at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki developed individual spatial design strategies by analyzing textile techniques and their underlying geometrical spatial appearance. The book contains visuals of the form studies between fashion, textiles, space and architecture.

Supersurfaces

Modular Structures

Digital Manufacturing

This is the sequel to ‘Folding Architecture’. It shows the results of Sophia Vyzoviti’s design method of design through folding. The research in here goes a step further using more durable materials than paper but with similar qualities. The booklet makes clear how the technique of folding can be applied not only in architecture, but also to industrial, product or textile manufacture.

‘Modular Structures’ examines morphogenetic processes based on a combination of digital and analogue modelling and manufacturing techniques. The visual studies shown in this book have been produced in the academic context of the Technische Universität Darmstad in classes and workshops held by the author.

This book examines the possibilities emerging for design and architecture by the -introduction of novel CAD and digital manufacturing techniques, organised within five production techniques: cross-segmentation, accumulation, frameworks, loops and folding.

Computational Architecture

Bio-structural Analogues In architecture

Eccentric Structures in Architecture

‘Computational Architecture’ showcases many form studies using digital tools and techniques like drilling, twisting, knotting, triangulating, lofting and framing. These techniques are used systematically to explore spatial, geometrical and structural conditions, leading to the emergence of abstract prototypes.

This inspirational book seeks to discover the architectural potential of biological structures as can be found in nature, in the world of seashells, corals, plants and animals. The structures that give biological forms strength, movement and firmness are studied, illustrated and used as an inspiration for design experiments.

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.

Folding architecture

Operative Design

Conditional Design

Folding is a relatively new trend in architecture. It’s a very playful way of designing and offers free rein to spontaneity during the design process. This book gives insight into the possibilities together with results of the research the architectural faculty of TU Delft conducted into this technique since 2001. Vividly illustrated with a survey of much-discussed concepts, projects and buildings.

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. Examples of these verbs are expand, inflate, nest, twist, lift, embed, merge and many more. The verbs are illustrated with threedimensional diagrams and pictures of designs which show the verbs ‘in action’.

‘Conditional Design’ is the sequel to ‘Operative Design’. This book will further explore the operative in design in a more detailed, intentional, and functional manner. In order to further understand these volumetric studies, it is imperative to give the volumes scale along with connection between volumes, if -applicable, and openings within the volumes. The conditions presented are not definitive, but are meant to serve as explorations of an iterative process.

Your Work and Your Life

The Book of Do-ness

The current way of working and living together is in need of change. We live in a society where we don’t use our full potential to live and work together to the full. After all, we’re accustomed to using mainly the left side of our brain (to create order, set boundaries and structures) and tend not to utilize the right side of our brain, the side which works intuitively and looks for experiences. ‘Your work and life’ makes a plea via a three-step method for a deepening of personal awareness, which immediately forms the basis for a more mature communal awareness.

Tired of looking at your screen? Well, get off your butt and DO something! We spend so many hours a day behind screens. We watch TV, play games, scroll through timelines on our social media pages, or ask Google the weirdest questions. We might sometimes forget how it feels to actually DO things! And that’s where this book comes in. ‘The Book of Do-ness’ is a funny, practical and (un)useful guide for all the people out there who feel the urge to spend less time in the digital realms but who need a little nudge in the right direction.

At the same time, the paradox of choice is known to increase our cognitive load to a degree that makes us frustrated and, ultimately, dissatisfied. So how do we benefit from acts of kindness without straining our brains at the myriad of possibilities? Get your hands on Dice for Change – a wonderful designer set of dice featuring pictograms that help us choose a good deed for the day.

You Are What You Eat Memory Game

Can You See What I See Memory Game

Marije Vogelzang, author of the successful Eat Love book, adds a fantastic game to the BIS list of memory games; unsurprisingly, it is all about food. Marije Vogelzang selected food that has a specific and consistent effect on our body. The task is to correctly match a food to its effect on our body. Examples include cola and burping, garlic and bad breath and pepper and sneezing.

Everyday objects get a whole new meaning or come to life by adding small sketches to them. This is the principle for this new poetic and funny memory game. One card shows an everyday object and the matching card makes you look at the object in a different way because the artist added a little drawing.

Concept: Marije Vogelzang | 2 x 25 cards in a box | 14.5 x 7.5 x 4.5 cm | € 15.00 | ISBN 978 90 6369 272 8

London Memory Game

Play Van Abbe

London Memory Game is made up of 25 pairs of cards on typical London themes: Big Ben, shopping, London architecture, bridges, pubs, museums, greasy food, et cetera. Creatively visualised, it is an extra treat to play a game while getting to know the city better and from a new perspective. A folder that gives insight into the chosen subjects is included.

The Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven is famous for its experimental approach towards art’s role in society. Its collection includes key works by Lissitzky, Chagall and Picasso. It is no sur-prise that the museum welcomed the idea of creating a memory game. The sets have striking similarities in subject or technique, but are never by the same artist.
