Dear reader, “I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.” - Albert Einstein Without curiosity we don’t ask questions. Without questions we don’t uncover new knowledge and therefore don’t arrive at new insights. Curiosity is the energy that drives us to keep looking, to keep digging, to keep deepening our understanding. When we look at our authors and the books they write, I believe this is the common denominator. We try to seek out those titles that are refreshing, give new insights, teach you or help you, are beautifully designed or put a smile on your face, but always make you curious. I am happy to say that we have succeeded in this again this season. Einstein’s quote is used in the book ‘This Human’. It explains what it takes being the “human” designing for meaningful impact. A very interesting read, not only for designers, as it gives tremendous insight for everyone who is determined to have genuine and long-lasting impact with their work. This knowledge will also be of help in creating an excellent Customer EXperience as ‘CEX sells’. A wonderful inspirational book, showing how front-runners worldwide have optimized their customer experience. As design is now the key driver of innovation and change within organizations across the globe, ‘Transformations’ teaches why, how and when to use design to drive change in your organization. We believe that innovation requires employees to work together and use both the left and right side of their brain. Teams that use the so-called “whole brain function” are more agile and are able to both imagine and implement. We see that visual thinking and drawing are essential skills within business settings that can boost these qualities. Willemien Brand’s ‘Visual Thinking’ provides an informative, easy to follow and fun introduction into the basics of visual thinking and drawing.

In addition to these books and learning more about trend research and roadmapping, Sofie Beier wrote a book filled with tips and tricks about designing type. A must-have for every type student and type designer! And for all designers out there we have a great lexicon with (un)useful creative knowledge; ‘HotchPotch’. A book where Coco Chanel, David Carson and Chupa Chups come together on a spread to create inspirational connections and knowledge. In our gift category, I am happy to announce a new up-and-coming, not-to-be-missed talent Sara van de Ven, author of ‘The Book of Do-ness’! Without being biased, as Sara is a treasured asset of the BIS team, she did an excellent job putting together this fun gift book. It’s a practical and useful guide for all the people out there who want to spend less time in the digital realms and need a little help in finding new ideas to do so. With 234.5 ideas you’ll never get bored and hopefully train your ability to think a bit more outside of the box when it comes to DO-ing things. After ‘Don’t Eat the Yellow Snow’ Marcus Kraft treats us to a new edition of “pop music wisdom”. This time focused on LOVE, probably the most important inspiration for songwriters of all times. A collection of the best songs for times when solid advice is needed. There is more, 13 new titles in total. So if you have some time on your hands or are in need of inspiration, read on… Or wander around on www.bispublishers.com for even more information and a preview of our books. Don’t forget to stay connected via our social networks; like, share, and spread the word! As always, if you have a good idea for a new project, don’t hesitate to contact us. We would love to hear from you! The BIS Publishers team, Bionda Dias Bionda@bispublishers.com

New titles Innovative Architecture Strategies By Simos Vamvakidis 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 and/or experimental approach of combining both private and public spaces. It shows design approaches with complex programmes, innovative and socially and financially sustainable approach. ‘Innovative Architecture Strategies’ aims to help understand the different design approaches that can be followed when called to propose a concept and design an innovative mixed-use building. It’s also a guide, point of reference, and inspiration book. The book demonstrates an analytical and clear way to conceptualize, explain and present a mixed-use design project.

• Helps architecture students understand different design approaches • A concrete guide and point of reference for practitioners and educators • Contains ten diverse architecture projects

Each project in the book is selected for its different form, function, technique and design intent. They all offer a clear example of a design project. The diverse design approaches are presented in ten chapters. Each chapter begins with explaining the main concept behind the specific design approach and with a reference to a built precedent.

New titles This Human Applying Human Principles to Design Thinking By Melis Senova ‘This Human’ is about the person who is doing the designing. 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.

• For people that are interested in creating something meaningful • Empowers people to maximise the impact of their work • The practical approach makes it easy to understand the importance of human-centred design

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. 192 pages | 23 x 17 cm | Paperback | ISBN 978 90 6369 460 9 | €29.90 Publication date: March 2017

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:

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'.

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.

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

To unify the vertical aligment, you may use the placement of the grave and acute accents as your guideline for centring the other diacritics.

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.

Recent titles Concept Code How to Create Meaningful Concepts By Gaby Crucq-Toffolo and Sanne Knitel Conceptual thinking involves adding vision to a product, service, or organisation. Content is key, as it determines the coherence of the concept. Consumers want to experience every aspect of the concept. In addition, the producer must meet the emotional and functional needs of the consumer. Therefore, while it is necessary to “think conceptually”, it is also important to “do conceptually”; a concept must be executable (doable). In order to attract and bind your consumer, your concept becomes vital for your success. ‘Concept Code’ guides you through every stage of bringing life to an idea in order for it to grow into a fully matured concept. It also gives insight into the importance of the consumer’s mind and how this functions in to make your concept successful.

Recent titles Strategic Design Eight Essential Practices Every Strategic Designer must Master By Dr. Giulia Calabretta, Prof. Gerda Gemser and Dr. Ingo Karpen Design professionals’ in innovation are no longer just executors of new product and/or service design briefs but are increasingly involved in the crafting of these briefs and in the strategic decisions leading to these briefs. Their rol is growing towards a more strategic one. In order to effectively play this role, design professionals need to master a set of strategic practices – i.e., routinized actions and ways of working. However, many designers lack knowledge on specific practices for acting effectively on a strategic level in innovation projects. This book introduces eight strategic design practices. These practices help the design professionals become familiar with effective tools for strategic innovation projects and give them a set of guidelines for easily and quickly applying these practices and tools. Dr. Giulia Calabretta is an Assistant Professor in Strategic Value of Design at the Delft University of Technology. Prof. Gerda Gemser is a Full Professor of Business and Design at RMIT.

Recent titles Thinking in Services Encoding and Expressing Strategy through Design By Majid Iqbal Design is the ultimate expression of policy and strategy. Expressing design in the form of a code makes it possible for every layer of the service enterprise to execute the design (code) in a fast and parallel manner. In order to deliver what has been promised at a much lower cost. For that purpose, the book introduces a system and method that go beyond blueprints and customer journey maps, to broaden the appeal of service design for strategists, economists, and budget analysts. ‘Thinking in Services’ introduces a powerful design language that appeals as much to creative professionals and programmers as it does to accountants, engineers, and lawyers. The code is written with the belief of raising the bar by lowering barriers. Raising the bar in design requires multidisciplinary efforts that are easier without standard language barriers. This patented system and method has, until now, only been available to a few large government and commercial enterprises, (Boeing, United HC). Majid Iqbal began this inquiry at Carnegie Mellon University, where he taught for six years, before becoming a consultant at Gartner and PwC. 240 pages | 23 x 17.5 cm | Paperback with flaps | ISBN 978 90 6369 430 2 | € 34.00 Publication date: March 2017

DESIGN MY PRIVACY

WAT IS PRIVACY EIGENLIJK? Privacy is een door de Verenigde Naties erkend mensenrecht. Privacy vormt een belangrijke pijler onder verschillende vrijheden die we in de westerse wereld uiterst belangrijk vinden, zoals de vrijheid van meningsuiting, de vrijheid van samenkomst, en het recht op een goede rechtsgang (wanneer je bijvoorbeeld een privégesprek voert met een advocaat). Tegelijkertijd blijkt privacy voor veel mensen een moeilijk te vatten begrip. Dat komt door de verschillende manieren waarop privacy gedefinieerd kan worden en door de verschillende belangen en contexten waarin privacy een rol speelt. Laten we eens een aantal verschillende perspectieven op privacy bekijken. Binnen discussies over de definitie van privacy maakt men vaak onderscheid tussen de waarde van privacy voor het individu en de waarde voor de maatschappij als geheel.

Privacy als recht Om alleen gelaten te worden Het recht op privacy, dat vlak na de uitvinding van de paparazzi ontstond, werd oorspronkelijk (1890) omschreven als het recht van het individu om alleen gelaten te worden25. We gaan ervan uit dat we thuis niet bespioneerd worden en daar geheimen kunnen bewaren, zoals bijvoorbeeld over onze gezondheid of wat we in de slaapkamer doen. Bijna iedereen heeft thuis gordijnen in de slaapkamer. We genieten eigenlijk continu van onze privacy. Het is zo normaal dat we er bijna niet meer bij stil staan.

DESIGN MY PRIVACY

PRINCIPE 1

Denk al in de beginfase van een project na over hoe je met privacy en data omgaat. Dat klinkt (hopelijk) logisch, maar in de praktijk blijkt dit vaak niet het geval. In veel producten worden privacy features pas later ingebouwd, in het ergste geval pas na bezwaar door het brede publiek. Dit is niet altijd even eenvoudig, bijvoorbeeld omdat de software niet meer aangepast kan worden, de hardware infrastructuur niet goedkoop te vervangen is, of omdat het gekozen businessmodel het niet toestaat. Soms is privacyschending heel bewust tot stand gekomen, en wordt er gebruik gemaakt van zogenaamde 'dark patterns' om ervoor te zorgen dat mensen per ongeluk meer informatie weggeven dan ze willen. Onwil, bureaucreatie en kennisgebrek maken het lastig om deze problemen adequaat aan te pakken. Door er vroeg bij te zijn en deze vraagstukken op tijd te onderzoeken, kunnen deze problemen hopelijk zo goed mogelijk worden ondervangen. Dark Patterns p.123 Een goed voorbeeld is de OV-Chipkaart. Volgens Marleen Stikker, directrice van de Amsterdamse Waag Society, zijn bij het ontwerp van het OV-systeem duidelijk geen kritische hackers of privacy-deskundigen betrokken geweest49. Hierdoor doken er jarenlang veiligheidsproblemen op, die werden aangekaart door journalisten en hackers die zich zorgen maakten. Hoewel de oude OV-chipkaarten inmiddels zijn vervangen door duurdere, beter beveiligde varianten, blijft het systeem nog altijd privacy-onvriendelijk. Zo is het bijvoorbeeld onmogelijk om tegelijkertijd anoniem en met korting te reizen, iets dat voorheen wel kon50. Doordat anoniem reizen nu alleen tegen vol tarief mogelijk is, wordt dit effectief ontmoedigd. Slecht ontwerp kan zelfs levensgevaarlijk zijn. In 2015 bleek het mogelijk om een nieuw model auto’s van Jeep via het internet over te nemen en op afstand de remmen in te

drukken of de motor uit te zetten51. De enige manier om de software van updates te voorzien, was door een USBstick met update-software in het dashboard van de auto te steken. Chrysler, het moederbedrijf van Jeep, besloot toen om 1,4 miljoen Jeeps terug te roepen. Zo blijkt maar weer dat er schrikbarend slecht wordt nagedacht over de privacy en veiligheids-issues die kunnen ontstaan gedurende de volledige gebruikscyclus van een product of dienst. Dit is een probleem dat al langer speelt. Volgens een recente schatting door onderzoekers van het Franse kenniscentrum Eurecom en de Duitse RuhrUniversität is het, voor ongeveer een kwart van de op het internet aangesloten apparaten, zeer eenvoudig om ze over te nemen52. Deze apparaten zijn veelal te benaderen met bekende standaard wachtwoorden. De meeste problemen zullen niet snel worden opgelost. Vaak zijn bedrijven traag met het aanbieden van updates omdat het ze geld kost, iets dat een probleem vormt bij veel Android smartphones. In andere gevallen is er wel een oplossing beschikbaar, maar bereikt die het systeem niet. In het geval van de Jeeps van Chrysler moest er handmatig een USB-stick in het dashboard worden ingevoerd. Zo is er altijd een percentage apparaten dat door haar gebruikers niet geüpdatet wordt53. In het ergste geval is het product een flop, bereikt het ‘end of life’ status of gaat het bedrijf failliet. De meeste mensen blijven deze apparaten toch gebruiken. Zelfs een up-to-date apparaat kan morgen onveilig blijken wanneer hackers een nieuw lek ontdekken. Software bouwen is en blijft mensenwerk. Er gebeurt dus van alles tijdens de levensloop van een 'slim' product. Het is belangrijk dat een organisatie samen met een ontwerper op mogelijke problemen anticipeert en snel op in leert spelen. Dat kan door handleidingen en

WAT IS PRIVACY EIGENLIJK?

VOORBEELD

My Little Piece of Privacy Het interactieve kunstwerk ‘My Little Piece of Privacy’ van kunstenaar Niklas Roy bestaat uit een klein verticaal gordijntje in een verder groot leeg raam. Wanneer er een voorbijganger langs loopt gaat het kleine gordijntje precies voor hem hangen, zodat hij alsnog niet goed naar binnen kan kijken. Hoe belangrijk het is om je aan het publieke oog te kunnen onttrekken werd mooi duidelijk in het project Super Stream Me van de VPRO26. De makers, Tim den Besten en Nicolaas Veul, hadden gepland dat ze drie weken lang hun hele leven live via het internet zouden uitzenden. Zelfs wanneer ze sliepen of naar de toilet gingen waren ze in beeld en te beluisteren. Er ontstond een brede schare online volgers. Uiteindelijk maakten ze maar twee weken vol: het was psychisch te zwaar om continu ‘de beste versie van jezelf’ te moeten spelen. Panopticon p.127

Recent titles The Divergent and Convergent Thinking Book By Dorte Nielsen Research shows that dividing thinking into divergent and convergent forms improves and increases idea production; this leads to unexpected thoughts and original solutions. Divergent thinking is used to generate ideas; convergent thinking helps in selecting the best ideas. The concept of divergent and convergent thinking is so integral to the creative process and innovative thinking that it is known as ‘the heartbeat of creativity’. It is the underlying rhythm of creative thinking. This book is an introduction to divergent and convergent thinking and includes guidelines to enhance innovative thinking, as well as handson exercises to strengthen creativity. The concept of the book is supported by its triangular shape, illustrating divergent and convergent thinking: the top half of the book communicates divergent thinking, while the bottom half communicates convergent thinking. This principle remains the same throughout the book. Dorte Nielsen is a creativity expert, author, keynote speaker and the founder of FourSight Denmark.

Creative Chef Postcards

Outsider Art Memory Game

By Jasper Udink ten Cate

By Anja Brunt

A postcard book with 25 postcards about food. The cards are the Creative Chef’s visuals inspired by his work as an artist, food designer, and chef. Think ‘MacGyver food solutions’ and ‘Make Food not War’. His humour, creativity, and unique way of viewing the world are reflected in these cards.

‘Outsider Art Memory Game’ collects authentic works of art produced by off-beat artists. The task, as always, is to collect two cards that make one set. In this case, two artworks by the same artist. The sets are clearly recognisable by the style and expression of the artwork. To help, the brochure includes all the artworks in pairs and brief descriptions about the artists.

These postcards will bring a smile to your face! And that is exactly the aim of the author Jasper Udink ten Cate. Jasper Udink ten Cate is a food artist who designs food concepts to tease your brain. He loves food, art, music, stories, places, jokes, curiosa, old books, and most of all, the emotions people experience when they enjoy a meal. 25 postcards in a book | 15 x 10 cm | ISBN 978 90 6369 440 1 | € 9.95

• Funny, creative, vintage style postcards • For all your food-loving friends • By BIS Publishers’ author of ‘Creative Chef’

The artists in this game do not consider art of the past; they have no formal artistic training and some are residents of psychiatric institutions. Their creativity has developed outside the framework of the mainstream art world and is largely ignored by it. Anja Brunt is a graphic designer with extensive experience in illustration. Her ‘Make a Face Memory Game’, which is full of funny faces created with everyday materials, was published by BIS Publishers. 2 x 30 cards in a box | 14.5 x 7.5 x 5 cm | ISBN 978 90 6369 443 2 | € 15.00

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

Designing Diagrams

This is a fully illustrated book with over one thousand product sketches organized in -chapters covering the main product categories that designers design for, such as furniture, electronic devices, household appliances, accessories, garments, et cetera.

The effective design of a diagram is an art form in itself; it takes an understanding 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.

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.

Reading Letters

Shaping Text

Type Tricks

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.

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.

‘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

Architecture and spatial design

Pop-Up City

The Spontaneous City

Inspiration

This book showcases eye-opening ideas, concepts and trends that make a difference in the city of today and tomorrow. Based on five years of blogging on popupcity.net for an international audience of millions, ‘Pop-Up City’ shows the birth of a new dimension in city-making based on groundbreaking ideas that take ‘pop-up’ as a starting point, varying from modular hotels and parasite cinemas to urban hacking, rooftop farms, and foldable houses.

This book presents the concept of ’The Spontaneous City’ as an alternative direction of design thinking and urban planning, as opposed to traditional rigid city planning. This city is user-centered, never finished, and the result of supply and demand. The book draws on the work and experience of Gert Urhahn, who works as an urban designer and architect in the city of Amsterdam.

Design methodology in design and architecture has changed significantly over the last ten years. More than ever, graphic attributes are used in contemporary architecture. A number of new design methods and applications emerged through the use of digital media, leading to a paradigm shift in the way we design. Inspiration aims to achieve a full overview of these exciting new topics from a theoretical and practical background.

The Fast Guide to Architectural Form

Innovative Architecture Strategies

While staying on theoretical ground, this book is a very practical guide to the basic forms and shapes in architectural planning and design. The book is foremost a visual guide. 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.

Architecture and spatial design

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.

Mozaa

When the set is completed, the player has to puzzle the four cards into one image. 3. Presto: the four cards form an image of an optical illusion to discover and marvel at.

‘Mozaa’ is a colorful combination between domino and mosaic. It is the edge matching game that brings out the artist in you. The box contains 64 cards (tiles) which all have a unique color combination. Take a playing card from the stack and place it next to the cards on the table, in such a way that the colors on the edges match. The one who creates the most and largest color fields wins the game.

Street Style Memory Game

Street Style Memory Game III

The cards of this new memory game depict all kinds of funny faces created with everyday DIY materials such as paper, cardboard, elastic bands, brushes, buttons, etcetera. Your task, as ever, is to find the matching faces made with the same materials. Playing the game gives you tons of inspiration for creating your own faces or other figures with everyday materials.

‘Street Style 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.

This is the new third edition of Barbara Iweins’ much applauded ‘Street Style Memory Game’. The first two versions of this game sold over 15,000 copies and the international press was unanimous: The Cool Hunter declared it one of the coolest products of the year; Vogue Italy named it an excellent exercise for aspiring Vogueistas; Wired loved it and Nylon just called it brilliant.

You Are What You Eat Memory Game

Can You See What I See Memory Game

The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog

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.

This attractively finished typographic memory game includes 25 variations of the letter ‘A.’ Players attempt to find matching cards and the one who has most sets wins the game. Information about the letter is included on the card, and a separate folder provides a general history of typography.

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.

Dutch recent titles Alles is Onderhandelen Creëer in 7 stappen inzicht in de kunst van het onderhandelen Onderhandelen doe je dagelijks. Alleen heb je het vaak niet in de gaten en/of ben je er zelf niet bewust van. Dagelijks ben je thuis en in je werkomgeving bezig met samenwerken, problemen oplossen of omgaan met meningsverschillen of zelfs conflicten. De Europese Denktank heeft in haar trendanalyse voor 2020 onderhandelen als een van de belangrijkste competenties genoemd. In de werkomgeving is er namelijk veel aan het veranderen. Bedrijven worden minder hiërarchisch en er zal meer samengewerkt worden, zowel binnen organisaties als daarbuiten. Juist in die context is het van belang om goed te kunnen onderhandelen wat betreft verwachtingen, beelden, besluitvormingsprocessen en het verdelen van de lusten en de lasten op korte en lange termijn. Bij deze toenemende behoefte aan onderhandelingsinzichten reikt dit boek de juiste handvaten daarvoor aan. Dit boek past 7 fundamentele principes toe zodat je de reis van het onderhandelen eigen kunt maken. Het boek bouwt voort op de grondleggende theorie van Getting to Yes. Het geeft inzicht in je persoonlijke valkuilen en laat je bewuster en wendbaarder omgaan met de toenemende complexiteit van een onderhandeling. Dit boek geeft antwoord op de meestgestelde vragen uit de trainings- en coachingspraktijk van de auteur in de laatste 20 jaar. Geurt Jan de Heus is als trainer en coach werkzaam bij RoutsLaeven, sinds 1999 is hij één van de twee partners van het bureau. Hij heeft medicijnen gestudeerd in Utrecht.

Dutch recent titles Design My Privacy 8 Principes voor beter privacy design Door Tijmen Schep en het MOTI Onze privacy staat onder druk. Het lijkt soms alsof de computer precies weet wat onze wensen zijn of waarnaar we op zoek zijn. We klikken, liken en appen er ijverig op los. Het internet weet precies wie we zijn en biedt ons allerhande gratis informatie. Maar achter de slimme producten en diensten zitten overheden en grote multinationals die ons gedrag vastleggen en onze persoonlijke gegevens verzamelen. Deze publicatie wil designers ertoe aanzetten te gaan ontwerpen voor privacy issues. De techniek achter de slimme producten en systemen is zo complex, dat het voor de consument moeilijk te begrijpen is wat de gevolgen zijn voor het alledaagse leven. Designers moeten gaan meedenken over transparantie en toegankelijkheid in het ontwerp van privacygevoelige producten en diensten. Deze publicatie biedt de designer handvatten in de vorm van acht designprincipes die helpen bij het ontwerpen van producten en diensten. Het zijn de designers die een bijdrage kunnen leveren aan een betere wereld. Tijmen Schep studeerde in 2008 af aan de Universiteit van Utrecht op de Ubiquitous Computing ideologie. Momenteel is hij adviseur op het gebied van digitale cultuur, creatieve industrie en publieksparticipatie.

Dutch recent titles Think Like a Manager Don’t Act Like One Door Harry Starren In navolging van het succesvolle Think Like a Lawyer Don’t Act Like One presenteren we dit boek dat, in hetzelfde formaat, 75 extreme korte en visuele managementlessen bevat. Net zoals een advocaat is ook een manager een professional waar behoorlijk wat mensen problemen mee kunnen ervaren. Keer op keer lijken de fouten die managers maken in het zelfde patroon te passen. Het boek heeft 5 onderdelen: * doe goede dingen (leiderschap) * doe dingen goed (organiseren) * doe dingen samen (samenwerken) * doe dingen voor de toekomst (strategie) * doe dingen anders (het einde van management, zoals wij het kennen). Harry Starren is een Nederlands schrijver en docent. Hij studeerde geschiedenis aan de Rijksuniversiteit Utrecht en politicologie/bestuurskunde aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam. Harry was onder meer werkzaam als wetenschappelijk onderzoeker, universitair docent en directeur van een onderzoeks- en adviesbureau. Naast zijn managementfunctie is hij nu actief als trainer, docent en adviseur, met name op het gebied van het management van professionele organisaties. 160 pagina’s | 18 x 14 cm | paperback met flappen | € 12.90 | ISBN 978 90 6369 385 5 | engelse editie: ISBN 978 90 6369 347 3

ALS HET NIET KAN ZOALS HET MOET, MOET HET ZOALS HET KAN Doorzetten is voor ondernemers de cruciale eigenschap, want ergens mee beginnen kunnen we allemaal. Doorzetten lijkt strijdig met flexibiliteit, maar het is zaak in te zien wat kan. En daarnaast de moed om te besluiten iets anders te doen, als het toch niet blijkt te kunnen. De Nederlandse politicus Jan de Koning had er een gevleugelde uitdrukking voor: 'Als het niet kan zoals het moet, dan moet het zoals het kan'. Want doorzetten in het onmogelijke is koppig, maar in zo'n situatie een andere weg zoeken noemen we vastberaden.

SCHAARSTE IS EEN ZEGE (en overvloed een vloek)

Nood leert bidden, werd bij ons thuis gezegd. Zoiets is er misschien ook aan de hand met schaarste. Schaarste maakt vindingrijk. Zo klaagde Vincent van Gogh bij zijn broer die hem geregeld verfmateriaal zond dat zijn situatie uiterst penibel was, omdat hij nog bijna uitsluitend 'geel' had.

DOORBRAKEN KOMEN VAN BUITEN De grootste stappen in de gezondheidszorg in de negentiende eeuw zijn niet gezet door medici, de insiders, maar door ingenieurs, de outsiders. Zij legden de waterleiding aan en brachten ons moderne riolen. De levensverwachting van de bevolking ging met sprongen vooruit. Of neem het openbaar vervoer. Daar is de kwaliteit enorm verbeterd toen het spoorboekje het verloor van de smartphone. Reizen is een fluitje van een cent geworden. Recent onderzoek maakt duidelijk dat als we onze schoolklassen beter zouden ventileren en kinderen zouden toe staan meer te bewegen in de klas, hun toetsen met sprongen zouden verbeteren. Daar kan geen leraar tegenop.

De Vorm van Tekst

De Basis van Typografie

Kost

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. Toch weten maar weinig computergebruikers hoe letterfonts precies werken. De vorm van tekst behandelt op praktische wijze typografie in al zijn breedte en laat aan de hand van vele voorbeelden zien hoe en op welke manier typografie werkt.

Iedereen die teksten schrijft of publiceert, wil dat zijn werk er ook mooi uit ziet. Toch zijn er maar weinig mensen die doeltreffend typografisch kunnen vormgeven. De basis van typografie is een ideale gids voor iedere beginner, en staat vol praktische tips om je teksten aantrekkelijk en goed leesbaar te maken, zowel op papier als op het scherm.

Wie zich in de voedselketen verdiept, valt van de ene verbazing in de andere; obesitas en honger bestaan nog altijd naast elkaar en wereldwijd verspillen we evenveel voedsel als we opeten. Kost biedt essays, interviews, (foto-)reportages en artikelen over projecten van ontwerpers, kunstenaars en wetenschappers waarvan het werk draait om de waarde(n) van voedsel.

Het resultaat is een collectie van 95 grafische ontwerpen die complexe filosofische stromingen verbeelden, sommige met behulp van visuele beeldspraken, en andere met bestaande of nieuwe symbolen en abstracte afbeeldingen.

Grids vormen de basis voor elk designproject. Leren hoe je ermee werkt, is essentieel voor elke grafisch ontwerper. Van het werken met één kolom tot meerkoloms schema’s, gebruikmakend van typografie, kleur, beeldmateriaal en meer, geeft Grids de beste informatie in 100 strategieën en voorbeelden over hoe je tot een fantastisch ontwerp komt.
