Trianimals is a unique animal colouring book series; each title features 60 amazing geometric animal designs to colour and enjoy. In this fun colour-by-numbers book, amazing creatures – from an old tortoise to a ferocious lion – are waiting to be discovered. You can choose to colour each animal in its natural colours or unleash your ‘wild’ side and try out our vivid colour palette for something a bit different. Once you get the hang of it, freestyle and experiment with your own colour palettes. In the back, you’ll find eight perforated pages with animal faces for you to colour in, detach and create your own mask.

TO N E A N D S H A D I N G
A study in tone This is one of the more traditional pieces to appear in this book but I have picked it becuase it’s such a great example of pencil shading� These skills are the building blocks of art and show a strong understanding of light, shadow, and highlights� When setting out to draw the figure, thinking about form, and the planes that wrap around to shape that form, can help to develop a strong, three-dimensional quality in the drawing�
• Features more than 100 figure drawings and portraits from contemporary artists • Figures and faces are the staple subject of the world’s most famous artists – Van Gogh, Picasso, Tracey Emin and Lucien Freud • This is a quick reference book with plenty of useful practical tips
L U C Y S TO N E
Using toned paper, as Lucy has done here, is one of the easiest ways to simplify the work of establishing a variety of values in a tonal drawing� By starting with a mid-tone background, it is much easier to work your darks and lights simultaneously, instead of having to work up your values from a stark white piece of paper� For highlight values, however, you will need a piece of white chalk�
TONAL SHADING Medium: Charcoal
8
LINE
Keep it simple This image, for me, is perfect in many ways� I love the model’s pose which conveys a great sense of relaxation� Sigrid has kep the details to a minimumm and the monochrome treatment only highlights that sense of calm� But what I like best here is the simplicity of the composition� Notice how the single line dividing the page almost in half and deftly conveys a floor� It might sound obvious, but anything more (a bit of shading) would have been too much, and taken away from the sketch entirely� At the same time, remove the line and imagine how much less sense this sketch makes�
The human body is one of the greatest subjects in art and one of the most varied. Exploring more than 100 figure drawings and portraits by young contemporary artists, Drawn From Life highlights and examines the different techniques, qualities and effects of each piece. Organised into chapters according to the technique exemplified – line, tone, colour, wash, shading and mixed media – artwork is featured large and luscious, accompanied by extended captions, insightful tips and practical advice. A visual index at the front of the book ensures easy navigation, so that you can easily identify your preferred artworks.
SIGRID ALBERT
For me, this picture is incredibly striking because of how pared back the details are� Sigrid’s use of a simple ink wash to pick out the shadows really helps to emphasize the contours and the shape of the body and yet, this could almost be a sketch of a sketleton; notice how the ink wash runs along the leg bones and ribs� The ink wash gives the drawing its detail; the outline gives the ink wash its context—simple but beautiful�

Manga is an undeniable phenomenon. This unique Japanese cartoon style is so popular that it has inspired a specialist animated counterpart, Anime, and spawned its own sub-genres – Shounen, Shojo, Seinen, Josei, Kodomo, Jidaigeki, Mecha and Chibi. All are aimed at particular sexes and age groups, so you’re bound to find something you’ll like. Manga’s distinctive style has infused and informed popular culture the world over, whether via Rocket Boy, Akira, Dragon Ball, Studio Ghibli or Pokemon. Featuring exquisitely hand-rendered illustrations, Manga Your World presents easy-to-follow drawing projects and expert artist tips. Learn how to show movement and emotion, where to put captions, and how to design a traditional comic strip that can be read from right to left. Draw your friends with supernatural powers, your beloved pooch in adorable Kodomo style, or yourself as a Manga-style samurai!

Remember to keep your lines minimal and clean for a Josei look. Leaving gaps in the outlines adds delicacy. Define the collarbone and the bones of the shoulders for an elegant, fragile look.
To keep the feel of the artwork light and impressionistic, focus on coloring just the shadows of the image. Start with the skin, as that is the most complicated and takes up most of the image. Try to mix a large amount of clear blending solvent into your brush tips so that you can blend areas of white to shadow in gradients.
Try to place highlights over colored areas to make the white stand out. Position them along the edges of where the facets would be in the gemstones. Make a few of them extend out into cross shapes for extra sparkle!
Continue adding shadows 4 throughout the picture. With light colors, you can paint a bit more in areas such as the shawl. With darker colors, be more cautious, such as the dark brown in the hair, and the greens in the emeralds. When done, add a darker gray over selected parts of the shadows throughout to bring the whole picture together. 1
To show off the jewelry to its fullest, pick your model and pose carefully. Use a close-up shot, with bare neck and shoulders and a short hairstyle. For a touch of elegance, add a shawl just falling off the shoulders, which hints at an evening dress worn underneath.
5
For a final touch of prettiness, add highlights with a white gel pen in the hair, eyelashes, and over the gemstones.

Bliss Now she is overjoyed. The thick eyelashes are central to this expression, as well as the dainty smile.
Although really exaggerated expressions are fun, if you use them too often they lose their impact. Think about the personality of the person you’re drawing, and pick a couple of expressions that match their moods. You can even mix these expressions up a bit, and then customize them to your particular character.

BAR SKETCHING: Pete Scully
12 prolific urban sketchers share their tips and expertise Features workshop-style projects to help stimulate fresh ideas Offers a range of approaches and styles Each project is carefully designed to help readers to develop new skills
Sketching in bars and pubs can be both challenging and relaxing. Bars are like interactive urban theaters, offering a slice of people’s lives as they mingle together. Join me at the bar, have a drink, relax and let the atmosphere soak into your sketches. IDEAS TO GET YOU STARTED 1. Location. The very first challenge involved with sketching a bar is an obvious one—where to sit. Bars can be busy, and the best view may be taken. Go where there is space. Sometimes chance location can provide the best inspiration—sketching more intimate social scenes is often more reflective of a bar’s personality than larger all-encompassing scenes. Find a nice spot and draw what you see. 2. Sketch your drinks. Glasses and cups are a good place to start, and useful practice for sketching curved objects. Notice how the light passes through or reflects on glass, or the shading of the beer bottle or mug of coffee. Another good starting point is the beer taps. Many brewers these days provide tap handles in all sorts of shapes and colorful designs. Try giving them thick, bold outlines to stand out, especially if you draw the rest of the bar afterward. For a larger bar sketch, drawing the taps first can help with your sense of measurement—from your perspective, the taps reach so high, they line up with the shelf of bottles behind and so forth. 3. Work on the interior perspective. When I draw large bar scenes I sometimes start in the middle and work my way outward, growing the sketch out from a central focal point; but more often than not I start on the left and work my way right. I never know how long it will take me to get as far as I am happy with, so I try not to bite off too much at once; in many highly detailed two-page panoramas I will get two-thirds in and feel burned out, but I already have the sketch I want. However, even when starting out very micro, it’s a good idea to consider how the overall perspective will play out, and draw some lines in pen or pencil.
4. Sketch bottles behind the bar. Most bars tend to have a lot of bottles on display. While bottle shapes can be fun to draw, rows of similarly-shaped bottles can become rather maddening, so don’t worry about being super accurate. The same can be said for stacks of glasses. Being a bit more sketchy with those elements, using looser lines and simpler shapes, reflects the way our eyes process them in real life. Play with the light to bring out the reflections. The best way to convey the illusion of light on paper is to increase the darkness of the areas around it. 5. Be playful with your materials. Sketching in a low-light interior, you may have to work harder to see things. Sketches are personal reflections, not photos. Be playful with your materials; if using pen, mess around and scribble a bit. Let chance take over. If using paint, you may have greater constraints in low light, as some colors will not show up at all. Some sketchers like to lay down a layer or block of paint first before starting a bar sketch, and then draw over the top, perhaps using white gel pen to add reflections or other effects. 6. Sketch the people. Bars, pubs and cafés are very social places. People will talk to you—sketching is a common conversation starter. Be discrete when sketching people, and courteous if they want to see. Be cautious of those around you—drinks often accidentally spill. Bar staff are busy and move quickly, being hard to capture in a sketch, but the number one rule when sketching them is to show them working hard! Including people in your sketches breaks up the repetitiveness of your scene, and sketches gain so much more character when they contain people.
THIS EXERCISE WILL HELP YOU: • Master interior perspective • Discover ways to express light and shading • Convey atmosphere in social settings • Sketch people at work and play • Sketch in low light

OUTDOOR SCENES
San Francisco, with its dramatic hills and vistas, is a perfect place to practice sketching the tricky perspective of a sloping street. This was drawn one cool April morning in the colorful Castro district (right), but I decided to leave the ink work uncolored except for the bright red sign of the historic Castro Theatre. The streetcar cables up above were very helpful as naturally drawn perspective lines. This two-page panorama took me less than an hour. This is an example of how absolute minimal color can not only be more visually effective, but can save a lot of time.

SPREADING ACROSS TWO PAGES This two-page panorama (left) took me three hours standing on site, in which time I did all of the ink work and some of the color, before retiring elsewhere to add the rest of the paint. I wanted to capture the curving perspective at this busy junction, drawing the eye downhill toward the Strand. It wasn’t too busy when I first started sketching, but by the end it was filled with pre-theater crowds, stopping to ask me directions and take a peek at my progress. Urban sketching can be quite a public pastime, so put away the headphones from time to time and interact with the world you’re sketching.

Line
Making every mark count There is a beautiful economy of line in this drawing of a packed xiringuito, or beach bar, on the Barcelona shoreline. Our eyes are immediately drawn to the foreground where a busy confusion of diners is sitting on a shaded terrace. It is the liveliness of the line that suggests crowded tables and a hubbub of conversation: the drinkers themselves are shown with a few quick lines and little detail. In the area around the restaurant, people play on the beach and sail boats circle to add to the relaxed atmosphere.
Òscar Julve The sky is shown as diluted, watery washes of blue, in front of which the dark shapes of buildings on the city’s Olympic marina stand out. As a result, the beach bar is thrown into focus. In this drawing—on the distinctive ivory-colored pages of a Moleskine sketchbook—every line and every wash is made to count, and not a drop of ink is wasted.
The blue washes have a big effect on this drawing. The strong contrast between the foreground shadows around the tables and the untouched areas representing the ocean—not one mark is used to represent the surface of the water—highlight the Mediterranean quality of light.

Color
Focusing on a single object Zooming in and focusing on a single subject can make for an arresting image; we get so close to this eye, for instance, we may feel we can almost see our reflection in it. For a single object to fill the paper, it has to be able to grab and hold our attention. Two contrasting media come together for this image. The features of the eye were drawn in ink with a flexible, gold-nibbed fountain pen. (Flexibility in a nib allows it to broaden and then narrow in response to changing pressure as it moves across the paper, to give a variable quality of line.)
Sabine Israel As a backdrop, a selection of color washes in acrylic, ranging in intensity and overlapping in places, have been assembled in Photoshop in what might appear to be a random manner Attention focuses instead at the very center of the image, where the reflected light in the eye shines out.

Packed with creative sketching tips and accessible advice, Pen & Ink offers practical information for aspiring artists. Exploring around 100 pieces of artwork by contemporary artists, the book examines the different techniques, qualities and effects relating to each piece. Chapters are organised according to technique (e.g. line, tone, mixed media), with a category index to help readers identify subjects that have been painted in similar styles. Kept large and lavish, all artwork is accompanied by extended captions and bite-sized tips. Readers are encouraged to discover the various ways in which similar subjects and styles are executed by different artists, while also being inspired to use the tips in the book as a way of building on their existing skills. Offering a refreshing change from other run-ofthe-mill art books, Pen & Ink adopts the unique approach of accessing practical information via the images, rather than looking at how to master one single style. James Hobbs is a London-based freelance journalist and artist, and a former editor of Artists & Illustrators magazine. His work has been shortlisted for the Jerwood Drawing Prize and is in a number of European collections. He is a board member of UrbanSketchers, a global collective who draw on location, and he has authored RotoVision title, Sketch Your World. also available:

PONYTAILS
Viking Braid in Ponytail Are you getting a little tired of the same old plait or ponytail everyday? This style is the best of both worlds. It’s a plait pony fusion (try saying that three times fast!) or better known as a Dutch braid. You might look at this hairstyle and think it is too difficult to create but it’s actually fairly simple. It’s basically an inside-out or reverse French braid. If you already have some braiding skills, you will have no problems perfecting this one.

1. Make a center parting and take a small triangle section, a couple inches away from the hairline, higher up toward the parting, above the ear. [AQ- original text was “down to the lower recession of the head” I don’t know what that means – can we describe the area instead? I’ve tried, based on the photos supplied – can you let me know if it is correct or needs to be changed] Divide the hair into three even sections. 2. Take the left section of hair under the other two strands into the middle; your middle section is now over on the right. Add more hair into the braid, taking a section of hair from the hairline into the braid, incorporating it into the right section. Take the right section with the hair added under the strands into the middle. Add more hair into the braid, taking a section of hair from the parting and incorporating it into the left section. Take the left section with the hair added under the strands into the middle.
TOP TIP If your hair is a silky texture and is slippery, add some sea salt spray before you begin. It will create texture so your style will hold all day.

Side Fishtail Braid If you have mastered the more common braids, it is time you tried the Side fishtail braid. Many people are intimidated by the look of a fishtail, often fearing that it is too difficult, but once you know the technique it is actually quite easy to do. This look is popular on fashion industry runways and red carpets too because it is so elegant and chic. The real beauty is in its versatility; it can be as casual or dramatic as you like. For that little extra drama, simply pull the braid out for more fullness.
HAIR & BEAUTY
Also known as a Herringbone braid, the side fishtail braid works best on long thick hair with minimal layers. Style this for formal occasions when you can invest a little more time in perfecting the look and need it to last. The best thing about a fishtail braid is that once you have set it in place, it does not budge or come undone quickly, and it won’t get frizzy either. Fishtail for the win!

1. Gather the hair to desired side into a loose side ponytail. Secure it in place with a hair elastic. 2. Divide the hair in the side ponytail in half. 3. Starting on the right side take a small piece of hair from the outside of the section up and over to the left side. Next, on left side, take a small piece of hair from the outside of the section up and over to the right side. Repeat these steps until you get to the ends of the hair. 4. Secure the braid at the end with a hair elastic. Carefully cut out the very first elastic at the base of the ponytail. 5. Your braid is complete. To create a fuller fishtail braid, pinch and pull out each section of hair until you create your desired look.
TOP TIP If your hair is really silky, apply a medium hold hair spray for extra grip while you’re braiding so it stays into place. This will make it easier to braid your hair.

PROBLEMS & SOLUTIONS
FINE AND OILY HAIR If you have fine or oily hair, read this section to identify which products you can use to achieve the best results when attempting any type of upstyle, braid, bun, or twist.
Before you dry your hair, use a mousse, spray gel, or root booster to add volume and texture to the roots. These products help plump up the hair. Blow dry from the opposite direction to which the hair lies for lift and volume at the roots. Styles that are hard to achieve with fine-textured hair are braided hairstyles and upstyles that require a lot of volume.
• Use a lightweight shampoo and conditioner. A heavy moisturizing product will weigh down your hair and make it oily.
OILY HAIR
If your hair is extremely oily, you may find it hard to prevent your hairstyle from falling flat. Simply add some dry shampoo and/or hair powder at the roots to help give a matte finish with plenty of volume.
• After a shower, apply a lightweight leave-in conditioner, then apply a root lifter or texturizer. • Use flexible-hold hairspray, and try shine spray to add texture and shine.
You should avoid using silkening cremes or any oil-based conditioning products close to the scalp because they will add to the oiliness of your hair. Use lightweight conditioner.
• On second-day hair you can use a dry shampoo to add volume. If you have oily hair, this will give a matte finish.
After your shower, apply a leave-in conditioner, then your styling products, such as root lifters, which combat oiliness. Blow dry as you prefer.
• Avoid oils, heavy serums, waxes, and pomades.
NORMAL TO OILY HAIR
Normal to oily hair textures are ideal for upstyles, twists, and braids. Typically, normal hair textures are a bit fuller than fine textures, allowing the hairstyle to have more volume, curl easier, and stay in place better.
NORMAL AND OILY HAIR PRODUCTS • Use a cleansing shampoo and lightweight conditioner.
If your hair is normal to oily, opt for shampoos appropriate for your hair type that lather well. They will give your hair some bounce. You should be able to use all types of hair products, including hair conditioners.
• Use a mousse or root lifter when blow drying and styling; they contain alcohol, which will soak up oil. • Use a medium-hold hairspray and dry shampoo on first- and second-day hair to help create bulk and soak up excess oils.

Luckily, the messy top knot is still going strong—this simple style works well on second-day hair and is great for any girl on the go. It works well for mid-length to long hair because you need the length to wrap around the pony. It’s good for hair that already has some texture to it, from wavy to curly—the texture will help add height and volume and keep it casual rather than sleek. If your hair is fine, try adding a thickening hair spray, throw in some thermal curls, and tease the roots so that you can fake thick hair.

5. MESSY TOP KNOT WITH SCARF Adding a scarf to your hair can give this hairstyle a completely different vibe, taking it from bohemian babe to vintage queen. To create this look, all you have to do is choose a large scarf, wrap it over your head around the hairline and tie it at the back.
18
To ensure your scarf stays in place, add a few bobby pins around the edges.
1. This style works best on unwashed hair—make sure it is completely dry. Create a very high ponytail by gathering all of your hair on top of your head. 2. Secure it with a hair elastic. 3. With a comb, slightly tease the ends of the hair down to the hair elastic. 4. Wrap the ponytail around the hair elastic. 5. Secure your hair with bobby pins. For extra hold, spray a medium-hold hairspray all over.
Struggling to tame thick and unruly curls? Tired of having limp, lifeless tresses? Hair can be a temperamental thing, but with 100 Awesome Hair Days as your guide you can guarantee that every day will be a good hair day.

HAIR TYPING SYSTEM
Hair care
Let’s begin by briefly reviewing the chemistry behind your curlicious curls. You are born with either naturally straight hair, wavy hair, curly hair, or coiled hair. The amount of curl, wave, or lack thereof, is dependent on the number of disulfide bonds between hair proteins found in the hair shaft; the greater the number of links, the curlier the hair, and the fewer the number of links, the straighter the hair. Curl categories The Hair Typing System (see opposite) classifies various hair textures and breaks each hair type down into three types with added sub-categories. This system is a useful guide for getting to know your hair texture. You should bear in mind, however, that most curly girls and women have at least two different hair types on their head.

Hair is primarily composed of keratin, a protein, which grows from the follicle. Keratin, and other proteins, is formulated in the cells of the hair follicle. All of the proteins become a part of the hair shaft and contain sulfur atoms. When two sulfur atoms pair up and bond, they form a disulfide bond. If the two sulfur atoms in the same protein are at a distance, and join to form the disulfide bond, the protein will bend. This is how your curls are created.

The crisscross topknot is a surprisingly quick and easy party look. The style is perfect for all hair textures—including locked —as long as you have some length for the crisscross wrap-around. The hair’s natural kinks and curls hold together to give the style real staying-power, and it works best on second-day tresses.
TRY THIS Because your hair is pulled away from your face, this style looks great with a bold lip or strong eye makeup. Try a bold red lipstick for a look that oozes glamour. See also Beehive, page 122 Low twisted curls, page 128
1.
Separate the top half of your hair from the bottom half. Create a top knot with the top half of your hair using a hair bungee, and secure it with bobby pins; that way you have the foundation to wrap the lower half of your hair around.
2.
Divide the lower half of your hair into two sections.
3.
Wrap the lower right portion of your hair around the left side of your bun. After you’ve wrapped it around your top knot, keep it in place with a few bobby pins—this creates the first crisscross.
4.
Repeat the above step on the opposite side. Take the left lower section of hair and wrap it around the right side of your head and around your bun. Secure with bobby pins.
5.
Adorn your bun with a hair accessory to draw the eye, and add hair spray to hold.
Top tip To soften the look a little and to help frame your face, try pulling out one or two soft curls around your hairline and ears. To make sure that you don’t spoil the rest of the style, this is best done with a weaving comb.

T R I P L E -T W I S T E D B U N What’s great about this look is that when the three buns are twisted together, it looks quite intricate and, frankly, a lot more labor intensive than it is� It’s a great way to quickly wear your hair up when you don’t have a lot of time, but also gives you the option of dressing it up with some accessories� Unlike many other updos this one is perfectly simple and really needs nothing more than a twist and then a twist again�

5� Finish with the right section, twisting it down and around to form a final bun, level with the other two� Pin the style in place with bobby pins and angle some pins through each bun to hold them together�
Starting with the middle section first helps keep the buns level, and pinning them together adds stability. This style works best in second-day hair, although you can always use hairspray for added hold if your hair is freshly washed or very silky.

• Create original tattoos for special occasions • Step-by-step tutorials show you exactly how to draw designs, and how to size, print and apply them • Features inspirational motifs to trace or download, including flowers, swallows and anchors
What you’ll need • Lead pencils • Black felt-tip pen • Ruler • Eraser • Light box (handy to have)
• It’s time to start drawing! Print out any reference images you’ve found and make notes on them so that you remember which bits were your favourites. For example, you may have an image you’d like to use for the main component, a reference of the kind of border you’d like and another for the colours to use. • Use pencil to create the first draft, checking your composition. Draw your design freehand, or use tracing paper and/or a light box to trace the parts. If you are combining several elements, be sure to use the same style, colours, and line thickness to make it all cohesive. You can use a ruler to draw a simple grid line in pencil as a guide– especially helpful if you’re drawing an animal or pattern that requires symmetry.
• When you’re happy with your draft composition and lines, start to tidy up your design by erasing excess lines and darkening the outline. Then trace the outline using a black felt-tip pen, wait for the ink to dry and erase all pencil marks. If you have a complex design or are not sure about colouring, it’s a good idea to scan or trace your design at this stage so you can go back a step if you need to. • If you’re using colour in your design, you can hand colour your design using colour pencil, felt tip pens or watercolour, or add colour using a design program in the next step. • Scan your finished design, ready to print from a computer, or photocopy right onto tattoo paper. If you scan your design you can use design software such as Adobe Illustrator to make slight adjustments, retrace for a clean line or add colour.
Tip It can be helpful to do a sketch in the size you intend to print your finished tattoo so you can check that the detail is easily seen and the lines are thick enough.
How to make your own light box
Turn a semi-transparent storage box upside down and place a pile of books under one edge. Position a desk lamp underneath the box with the light shining upwards. Place your image to trace on top of the box, the light will shine through the paper and highlight the lines, making it easier to trace. You can also use a bright window by taping tracing paper to your image, then taping both to the glass.
Tracing a finished design before colouring—this design incorporates animals representing the wearer’s children, with a favourite toy giraffe and floral elements to round out the design.

Creating your temporary tattoo
Animals Birds
Butterflies & moths
Bird tattoos usually represent freedom and can be portrayed in many different ways. They are about spreading your wings and flying through life despite hardships, and also carry additional meanings depending on different cultures, countries, and communities, as well as t he species of bird. They are commonly worn on the upper back, chest bone, or on the arm or wrist.
Butterfly and moth tattoos are popular and meaningful, usually delicate but also dark and suiting many illustrative styles. Moths tend to symbolize a darker version of the butterfly, with emphasis on night, impermanence of life, and metamorphosis.
A dove with a splash of watercolour
Found in many different cultures, butterflies can symbolise freedom, beauty, grace, fragility, transformation, and great change or hardships. In Greek culture a butterfly symbolises the journey of a soul, taking a human soul from earth to heaven. According to Chinese culture a butterfly stands for joy, happiness, and prosperity, and is a sign of good luck. Butterflies and moths look great on the upper back, neck, wrists and feet, and tend to work well as part of a much larger design.

Meanings If you’re interested in a bird tattoo and want to dig deeper, research your favourites to find out more about birds in myths and legends, history, cultural celebrations, animal behaviour, and fairy tales. You can personalise a bird design by choosing a bird that represents something meaningful to you, then perhaps adding elements such as flowers, text or a banner to further create your own meaning.
Personalise this butterfly by altering the wing pattern and colours, and adding geometric lines, flowers, or other animals.

â?§ GLYPHS AND CHARACTERS INTERROBANG The interrobang ligature was invented in 1962 by Martin K. Speckter, a journalist turned advertising executive, who disliked the ugliness of using multiple punctuation marks at the end of a sentence; in the case of the interrobang, the exclamation point and question mark are superimposed.

ASCENDER
X-HEIGHT
The stem of a lowercase letter, such as b or k, that extends above the body of the letter, or x-height, found for example in b, d, f, h, and k. in a lot of cases, this line is slightly higher than the capital line. Some types of ascenders have specific names.
The distance between the baseline and the midline of an alphabet, approximately the height of the lowercase x. The measurement is based on the x because typically, it rests squarely on the baseline and has no ascenders or descenders.
Ascenders, together with descenders, increase the recognizability of words. For this reason, British road signs no longer use all capital letters.
High x-heights are often found in fonts intended for display, which need to be read clearly from a distance. Medium x-heights are found on fonts intended for body text, increasing the balance between upper- and lower-case.
DESCENDER
LIGATURE
The part of a lowercase letter that extends below the baseline; examples include j, q, and y. Some types of descender have specific names.
Two or more letters connected to create a single character. Examples include fi and fl and diphthongs such as Œ and Æ. Also known as tied letters.
The descenders of some letters may touch or almost touch letters in the line below, causing awkward or distracting patterns. Solutions include increasing the leading between lines of type or carefully editing the text to avoid clashes.
At the origin of typographical ligatures is the simple running together of letters in manuscripts. The earliest known scripts include many cases of character combinations that have evolved from ligatures into independent characters in their own right.

What is a graphic designer?
Is everyone a designer, as a recent publication by Mieke Gerritzen asserted? It goes on to say (in Dutch-English), “‘Everyone is a designer’ is a marketing demographic, not a statement about the logic of a practice. While everyone has the same statistical chance of chancing upon a serendipitous moment or two, creating a practice of design still requires linking up hundreds if not thousands of discrete decisions into systems that extend from part to part, from project to project, from year to year.” What are the decisions that make up the practice of design? I suggest there are two fundamental activities that can be found in the practice of every graphic designer. The first I want to call ‘making sense’. No designer, however contrary, ever said, ‘I want to make this more complicated than it needs to be’, or ‘I want to leave someone with no idea as to what this is’. The designer’s instinct is to simplify and clarify. “Design is the child of the concept of efficiency,” says Jorge Frascara. All design has to give shape to its raw material, sequence it, order and sort it, give it a hierarchy. The material forms of design – books, posters, signs, packages, webpages – insist that something needs to be read first, seen first. It follows then that there is an order, something first, and something last. Even the

Nostalgic Photographer Peter Wood emulates the American great, O Winston Link, with this study of a steam train at night. It was taken as a test shot for a Royal Mail stamp series, but not used. It presented substantial technical problems, especially the lighting of such a large, complex form. Its style is created by different elements: objective recording with a hefty dollop of emotional sculpting. It is difficult not to be impressed by the train in this picture.
Overleaf Left: Dreamscape An image by Me Company for a Kenzo advertising campaign, Autumn/Winter 2001. David Hockney has said that the computer is “putting the hand back in the camera”. This image departs from photography and begins to become something else, so extensively are the images worked over by hand. Direct personal judgement overrides the mediation of automatic processes. The ‘boy’ standing in a cataclysmic jungle, has been digitally created by changing the facial structure of a female model using a morphing process. The whole confection is designed to oscillate between categories: female/male; lovely/ horrific; photo/painting. Right: Sensual A close-up of a Dachshund by Mette Heinz for a book cover. There is no attempt to place the subject within a context, instead we are invited to concentrate on physical details, like the texture and colour of the fur and the dog’s moist eye.
Johann Gutenberg, father of graphic design Johann was a family nickname. His full name was Friele Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenberg which roughly translates as Freddy Goosefat of Goodcastle. The only form of mechanical, mass reproduction well known in Gutenberg’s time was woodcuts. (The Chinese produced prints as early as the 8th century, but development was limited because the wood could only carry so much detail – they consisted almost solely of captioned illustrations.) Gutenberg was a gemcutter and metalworker, with a powerful entrepreneurial urge. At some point in 1440 he revolutionised printing by creating moveable type – individual letters that could be endlessly composed, and recomposed. Along with the type itself came other inventions: the press to print it; rich black, opaque ink, malleable enough to roll onto dozens of tiny letters; the steel punches on which the type was cut with tiny tools (using his gemcutting skills); the alloy – not too soft, not hard enough to shatter – for casting the individual type elements. Gutenberg’s multi-invention simultaneously gave birth to the grid (since all modular type elements had to be located and locked into the frame) and typefaces – since lettering now had to be cut for mechanical reproduction. These are two of the primary components of graphic design over 500 years later.
most intricate and florid design is a clear map, indicating with scale, colour and position the issues and subjects that the designer wants the viewer to comprehend. The second I want to call ‘creating difference’. The product, company, or event needs to be unique and easily recognised, picked out and distinguished from thousands of others. The designer wants her work to stand out, not only from the work of other designers, but also from her other work. The compulsion to create difference is unrelenting, the impact and power of visual form that is new is deeply embedded in all designers. Fetishisation of the ‘original’ drives the constant renewal of the language of design. It sends designers in search of new ways of drawing type and novel combinations of colour. It drives efforts to escape the grid, and lies behind the need to loot art, film, television and the vernacular for ever fresher ways of making typefaces and juxtaposing images and words. All design, even the newest new work, follows existing patterns, codes, shapes and genres (see page 48). These patterns constitute the fabric of visual language – a language that is constantly being evolved and expanded, but, like any verbal or written utterance, all visual expression has to draw on its grammar if it is to be meaningful. The graphic designer then is someone who is always making sense of her material, and mediating it through the forms and codes of visual language.

One way of looking at design is to see it not as finished pieces, but the process itself. Ernst Gombrich, in his seminal book ‘The Story of Art’, wrote that “there really is no such thing as Art. There are only artists ...” If we say ‘there is no such thing as graphic design, only graphic designers’, what defines a graphic designer?

Stefan Sagmeister, child of Gutenberg Stefan Sagmeister translates as Stephen Talkingmaster. An Austrian working in New York, he is among the most highly regarded designers working today. One of his most notorious pieces is shown above, a poster for a lecture. The text is carved into Sagmeister’s own body. He had intended to cut the text himself, but “part of the problem was cutting in reverse, part of the problem was cutting accurately, and part of the problem was cutting”. After eight hours of cutting, Sagmeister’s body became a piece of graphic design. It was also wracked with pain. Certainly, as an emblem, there is no starker example of ‘self-expression’. Apart from using the mechanical processes of photography and printing, Sagmeister created a piece focussed on himself, made out of himself, in a way that completely steps outside of the constraints of any recognisable genre. This work does, of course, have precedents in the wider culture: tattooing; self-mutilation; self-mutilation as art; adolescents carving lovers’ names on their arms. It shows amazing commitment and more than a touch of madness in its struggle for a fresh form of expression.

• Explores key issues that shape design today and includes an excellent set of contemporary international examples • A revised edition of the bestselling title What is Graphic Design • Redesigned and presented in a fresh new package • Revised with 20% new content
What is Graphic Design? explores the issues that shape design today: economics, ethics, technology, theory and developments in other arts. It looks at how graphic design has evolved over the centuries, across a wide range of media. The discipline is then broken down into its elements, looking at typography, how text and images are at the heart of graphic design and can be used to increase graphic possibilities and how the process of reproduction underpins every aspect of design. Finally, there an analysis of a diverse group of young designers who illlustrate just how broad and rich the profession can be. The revised edition of this classic handbook has been thoroughly revised and redesigned, with new content focusing on new issues in design today and graphic design development in new media. Quentin Newark is a co-founder of the Atelier Works design group. He writes regularly for design publications, including Design Week, Creative Review and Print. He has also lectured on design and has judged design awards. He lives in London, UK.

ABOVE AND FOLLOWING PAGES: BOOK DESIGN Before World War II, the term “graphic design” did not exist. Dripdry Shirts: The Evolution of the Graphic Designer celebrates the work of the practitioners who created this now familiar term. Each principal contributor has named a colleague or student over whom they feel they have had some influence. With the contributions of these secondary interviewees, the pieces are mini design-family trees and the symbiotic nature of work and teaching becomes apparent. Each of these “discussion” pieces opens with a self-portrait, and a sound-track is suggested to evoke the designer’s own chosen mood.

MAKING SENSE AND CREATING DIFFERENCE
Punctuation A normal font of type will usually include about 24 signs of punctuation. The punctuation we use today has its roots in rhetoric. The terms comma, colon, and period (also commonly called a full point or full stop) were used by Aristophanes to formulate a means of discourse for rhetoric where they were used to establish rhythmical units of speech. As a source of rhetoric rather than grammatical cues, punctuation served to regulate pace and provide emphasis to particular phrases rather than just marking the logical structure of sentences. Punctuation, therefore, would be positioned wherever the speaker should make a momentary pause, and provide breathing cues. However, after the invention of printing, grammarians began to base their punctuation marks on structure rather than the spoken word. For example, the comma became a mark
of separation, the semicolon worked as a joint between independent clauses, the colon indicated grammatical discontinuity. Writing became separated from speech, and the proliferation of printing played an essential role in formalizing the rules about punctuation and every other aspect of grammar. But although structure is the strongest rationale today, punctuation remains a largely intuitive part of writing. A writer can still choose several ways to punctuate, any of which will be correct, although each will provide a slightly different rhythm and expression. In this way, the rhetorical roots of punctuation still function. For example, in speech, a rising and falling speech pattern is widely interpreted as expressing a contrast between questioning (a rising inflection) and stating (a flat or falling inflection). In writing, such contrasts of inflection are attempted by means of punctuation (illustrated opposite).
Oh really? Oh, really? Oh really! Oh really!
SHORT AND LONG PAUSES In his Authors‘ and Printers‘ Dictionary (Oxford University Press, 1938), F. Howard Collins begins his entry concerning punctuation “The chief difficulty lies in the use of the comma, semicolon, colon, and period. In general they correspond, in the order named, to shorter or longer pauses as heard in correct speech; but no absolute rules can be given.” As a consequence, nine pages of concise explanation are required. (The cover of this book is reproduced on page 39.)

WRITTEN INFLECTIONS A rising and falling speech pattern is widely interpreted as expressing a contrast between questioning (a rising inflection) and stating (a flat or falling inflection). In writing, such contrasts are suggested by means of punctuation. (The optional use of italic also helps.)

let’s talk type
Have you ever wondered which typeface is used for airport signs? Or about the history behind the Times New Roman font? We are constantly engaging with type, yet many of us struggle to use it effectively or simply to understand the basics.

What is Graphic Design Let’s Talk Type
DESIGN
Roberts coined the name sans+baum while sharing a studio space with a typographically orientated designer. Having worked alone for some time following this, she felt the need for a sympathetic colleague to bring a new dimension to her work. Bob Wilkinson has since become an associate. His interest in imagemaking and conceptual approach to design has opened up the remit of their work significantly.
What is Typography? is the ultimate compact guide to the discipline that lies at the epicentre of design and communication. David Jury explores anatomy by breaking down the elements of this discipline to look at individual tools and processes, methods of organizing information, the mechanics of type and the various means of arranging and displaying type. He then looks at the formal structures and acceptable variations of type as fundamental disseminators of information. Finally there is an anaylysis of an eclectic group of portfolios. The revised edition of this handbook has been thoroughly revised and redesigned, with new content focusing on new issues in design today and typography’s development in new media.
Design
Roberts has allied herself with modernism because she finds it intellectually far-reaching: minimalism determined by a politically motivated belief in clarity and access for all. Considering graphic design to be fundamentally egalitarian, as most people see and use it, she feels that a designer has the responsibility to arrive at well-crafted, utilitarian design that respects the intelligence of the user.
Both signatories of the First Things First 2000 manifesto, they now work both independently and together, along with their colleague John McGill, on a broad range of projects, from exhibitions to reports and books. Roberts initially looked for clients whose mission she was happy to endorse, so sans+baum have worked a great deal for charities and nongovernmental organizations (ngos). Their clients also include organizations dealing in minority interests who are happy to be a little adventurous. Roberts considers herself primarily a typographer, so it is the written word and its visual representation that she holds most dear.
ic
Lucienne Roberts remembers clearly the combined impact of reading Tschichold’s Asymmetric Typography and her first typographic exercise as a student. It was reminiscent of postwar Swiss teaching. Take a short piece of text and lay it out four times using only one means of emphasis each time: type size, weight, color, and space. It was a revelation and still informs every typographic decision that she makes.

Sloping shoulders Sloping shoulders cause the bodice to crease at the armhole. In an over-garment, this excess may be relieved with a shoulder pad. To correct: On both front and back pattern pieces, remove excess from the shoulder point, running to zero at the neckline. The underarm will also need to be lowered.
Square shoulders Wrinkles will form across the shoulders and armhole as the toile is distorted to accommodate the breadth of the shoulders. To correct: Slash your paper pattern as directed in the diagram and pivot the shoulder line to create more room for the shoulders. The underarm seam will also need to be raised.

This is how to cast on your stitches using the long-tail cast on method. This method is the most secure and sturdy way to cast on your stitches. Remember—your slipknot counts as your first stitch.
How to cast on 1. With the slipknot on your right arm, put your index finger and thumb between the strands. Hold the working yarn and the tail against the palm of your hand with your ring and pinky fingers. 2. Widen your thumb and index finger, so that the strands make an “X” over your left thumb and finger. 3. Move your right index finger under the strand of yarn that is wrapped around the outside of your left thumb and closest to your left wrist. Then take it over the strand on the inside of your left thumb.

4. Grab the farthest strand that crosses around the front of your left index finger with your right thumb and index finger. 5. Pull that strand up while holding the working yarn and tail with your left hand. This creates a new loop, which is your second stitch. 6. Place this new stitch on your right arm. 7. Cast on the number of stitches that the pattern calls for.

Infinity Scarf This is the most popular arm knitting pattern in the world! It is so simple, but it looks amazing. This infinity scarf will never go out of style. It is your basic double-wrap scarf; to wear it, simply hang it long as a single loop or wrap it twice around your neck. This is the first pattern I published on my blog back in 2011 and it made arm knitting go viral.
How to make an infinity scarf 1. Pull 60cm (24in) of yarn from the centre of the skein and the outside of the skein (or from the centre of each skein if using two skeins of yarn) and make a slipknot. 2. Using the two strands at the same time, cast on eight stitches. 3. Arm knit 28 rows using knit stitch (see page 34). 4. Cast off and knot the end. 5. Sew the ends of the scarf together. 6. Weave in the ends and cut the yarn.

EMMA
small band of true friends who witnessed the ceremony, were fully answered in the perfect happiness of the union.’
A
pattern runs through Jane Austen’s books – although the path of true love never runs smoothly, the heroine always ends up getting her man, so here’s a toast to Miss Emma Woodhouse and Mr George Knightley. The outcome was never a sure thing; there was a time when Mr Knightley was jealous of Frank Churchill and perceived him as a serious threat to his relationship with Emma. At one point Harriet confessed to Emma that she was developing feelings for Mr Knightley and that she had hopes of her feelings being reciprocated. As you can imagine, Emma bitterly regretted ever having raised Harriet’s hopes, but this last complication was the tipping point for Emma and made her realise that she was in love with him herself, despite the fact that Emma had previously vowed never to marry. As soon as Harriet confides her feelings to Emma, we are told, ‘It darted through her, with the speed of an arrow, that Mr Knightley must marry no one but herself! ’ When news is received that Frank Churchill is engaged to Jane Fairfax, Mr Knightley takes Emma to one side to comfort her. Of course, he has an ulterior motive and his concern is rewarded – in typically restrained style, they reveal their true feelings for each other. A date is set, and here they are on their special day. According to the unbearable Mrs Elton, the wedding is a humble affair compared with her own high expectations, but the reader is left in no doubt that it is a happy occasion, full of friends, good wishes and joy.

Hemp & Jute
Overview
• Takes an eco-friendly approach to crafting, with the focus being on natural materials and fabrics • 40 exciting and diverse projects, covering fashion, homewares, accessories and jewellery • Includes an extra chapter featuring invaluable information on decorating and embellishing your projects
Hemp and jute are natural fibers that are strong, durable, and perfect for crafting! They can be used for macramé, knitting, crocheting, and stitching, and which of the two you select for a project is mostly down to your own personal preference. From experience, though, I would recommend hemp for macramé jewelry, and jute for a macramé hanger. While both are very durable, hemp is denser and stronger and much softer than jute, which can be a little scratchy for a bracelet or anything coming in contact with skin.
If using hemp or jute for stitching, you’ll want to pick up a darning needle with a large eye. Both fibers can be used for any project utilizing burlap—they are a perfect trio of natural materials. Feel free to experiment with these materials by dyeing them using a normal fabric dye or one that incorporates food coloring. Always do a dye test before taking the plunge on a whole roll of hemp or jute.
Hemp cord originates from the cannabis plant. The main uses of hemp fiber are in rope, sacking, carpet, nets, and webbing. Hemp fiber is stronger yet softer than materials like cotton, lasts twice as long, and is not affected by mildew. You will find hemp in local craft and dollar stores. If you want a large roll of hemp or dyed hemp, then definitely head to a craft store or online supplier. Hemp is available in a few thicknesses.
My favorite projects—and dare I say my latest DIY addiction—are anything involving macramé. There is just something so therapeutic in making knots that magically grow into a chain of loveliness. A simple glass container can inexpensively become a hanging planter or vase filled with succulents or flowers in a jiffy. Repurposing beads from a thrift store along with a length of hemp soon becomes a bracelet. Once you get into macramé, there’s no limit to what you can create.
Jute comes from the stem and ribbon (outer skin) of the jute plant. Jute is used for twine, rope, and burlap. It’s affordable and easy to find in craft, dollar, or hardware stores. Jute is available in lots of colors and thicknesses.

Eco-friendly materials such as cork, hemp, jute and burlap are red hot amongst the crafting communities on Etsy and Pinterest. Their neutral colours and natural textures make these the most versatile fabrics around, suitable for a wide range of contemporary and traditional designs. Raw Crafts includes 40 irresistible projects to create for yourself and your home using these tactile elements, and it also talks you through the best ways to customise your creations, using techniques such as printing and dyeing. What are you waiting for? Join the raw craft revolution!
Cork
Printing stamp Here’s a fun, easy, and addictive DIY project using repurposed wine corks. Cork stamps are perfect for adding your personal stamp and flare to stationery, wrapping paper, and notebooks. You can print your stamp onto paper, fabric, cork, wood, and almost anything! Two useful tips to keep in mind: keep the stamp design simple so that carving it out is easy, and rinse the stamp regularly during use to keep detail and edges sharp and crisp.
How to make the printing stamp
1
Draw your design onto the flattest end of the cork. The larger the design, the less cork that will need to be cut away. Draw a line around the neck of the cork about a ¼ inch (6 mm) down from the end on which you have drawn your design.
2
Slowly cut into the line around the neck of the cork. Keep in mind that the depth of your cutting should align with the contours of the design on the top of the cork. It is better to cut shallow, than too deep.
CRAFT MIX AND MATCH
Tote bag (page 24) Cushion cover (page 28) Wine bag (page 104)
You will need • 1 wine cork per stamp • Pen or pencil • Craft knife • Cutting mat • Craft paints or inkpad
68
3
Cut vertically into your design following the outline you have drawn. Keep slicing away at the cork in both directions until the vertical cuts intersect with the horizontal cuts and pieces of cork fall away to leave the stamp standing proud on the top of the cork.
4
Carefully trim any unwanted notches or uneven edges. Press the stamp into the paint or ink pad, and get stamping! Always test the stamp on a scrap of your project medium before starting on your craft item.

THE THAL–KALED WAR Two intelligent species evolved at the same time on Skaro. For millions of years, they were separated – some say by a churning ocean, others by a huge mountain range. The Thals of Davius were a warrior culture. The Kaleds of Dalazar were a race of philosophers. In a startling example of parallel evolution, although their last common ancestor had been
FIRST APPEARANCE The Daleks (1963) LOCATION Skaro INHABITANTS Thals, Kaleds, Davros, Mutos, giant clams … and the Daleks
living at the time of the simplest marine life, hundreds of millions of years before, both came to outwardly resemble human beings. Conflict between two such proud races was almost inevitable.
HISTORY The war between the Thals and the Kaleds raged for 1,000 years. Nuclear and chemical weapons were used in the early stages. As the war dragged on and on, it consumed the resources of the planet. By the end, both sides resorted to using
whatever they could find – soldiers could be found wearing synthetic clothes but using clubs and knives. The survivors huddled in two domed cities, their armies so depleted that ‘senior’ officers were often very young. Both sides sought
a weapon capable of breaching the dome of the other city. Skaro’s ecosystem was dying, its life mutating into monsters.
BEHIND THE SCENES Although mentioned in The Daleks, the war between the Thals and Daleks was first depicted in Genesis of the Daleks (Terry Nation, 1975). The Big Finish audio drama Davros (Lance Parkin, 2003) and series I, Davros (Gary Hopkins, James Parsons & Andrew Stirling-Brown, Lance Parkin, Scott Alan Woodard, 2006) filled in a great deal of backstory about the creator of the Daleks and the nature of the conflict.
LEFT: The Kaled scientist Davros, flanked by his creation.
FACT FILE GENESIS OF THE DALEKS Davros betrays the Kaleds, showing the Thals how to destroy their enemy’s city. He then sends his newly created Daleks to exterminate the Thals. Only a few Thals survive. The Doctor is able to seal the Daleks into the Kaled bunker, where they exterminate their creator. GENESIS OF THE DALEKS The Time Lords send the Doctor and his companions back to this point in history to avert the creation of the Daleks. They fail. GENESIS OF THE DALEKS Davros comes to realize that the Kaleds will die out. He needs to force evolution along, genetically engineering a successor race, one that will be able to survive on Skaro. Working from his lab in a deep bunker, he develops the first Daleks. I, DAVROS After 1,000 years, it has become clear to both the Thals and the Kaleds that the war is nearly over – there are few survivors on either side, and if one side fails to finish the other off soon, Skaro will become completely uninhabitable. I, DAVROS Davros gains great prestige by inventing powerful weapons. The Kaled Supremo moves against him, but Davros’s mother sacrifices her life to reveal the plot to Davros. He blackmails the Supremo into gaining more independence for his Science Division. A Thal shell devastates the Science Division, leaving Davros crippled and utterly dependent on a mobile life-support system. I, DAVROS Davros is born to the Kaled politician Lady Calcula. Kaled politics is Machiavellian and brutal, and Davros wants to turn his talents to science. After a spell of military service, he is assigned to the Scientific Corps.
OPPOSITE: The
final war between the Thals and the Kaleds raged for 1,000 years.

The Daleks vanished from time and space, massing their fleet in the Time Vortex.6 The Time Lords resurrected the Master7 and even Rassilon8 (p. 116) to fight the Time War. The Daleks recruited their creator, Davros, but in the first year, the Doctor saw Davros die when his command ship flew into the jaws of the Nightmare Child at the Gates of Elysium.9 Countless planets were devastated, and species were displaced or extinguished. The Master fled the war when the Dalek Emperor took control of the Cruciform, hiding himself in the distant future.10 The Cult of Skaro fled the war in a Voidship.11

War Doctor was joined, briefly, by a young woman named Cinder.
BEHIND THE SCENES When the TV series returned in 2005, we gradually learned that the Doctor and the Daleks had fought the ultimate war, and that the Doctor had ended it by wiping both of them out. As the series has progressed, we’ve learned many more details.
FIRST APPEARANCE Genesis of the Daleks (1975) or ‘The End of the World’ (2005) STATUS Timelocked, utterly inaccessible
TENTH DOCTOR RUSSELL T DAVIES
Somehow – possibly because of the Doctor – the events of the Last Great Time War are timelocked: Barriers are erected that prevent anything from getting in or out of the events of the war.
MEET THE DOCTOR NINTH DOCTOR RUSSELL T DAVIES
The Time Lords use bowships, black hole carriers and N-forms. The Daleks use the Deathsmiths of Goth. The war is fought in the Vortex and in the Ultimate Void. Higher species like the Forest of Cheem and Nestene suffer. The Greater Animus perishes, and the Eternals flee.

What exactly is Trenzalore? Where did the Sontarans originate? Where does the mysterious blue crystal get its powers from? Whoniverse is the ultimate guide to planet spotting in all the weird and wonderful galaxies the Doctor travels through and beyond. Packed full of facts, stats, trivia and data, the book is organised according to the galaxies and star systems that appear in the Doctor Who stories. Encyclopedia style, each entry offers information on the planet, its native species, history and the role it plays in the Doctor’s journeys. Uniquely, the book is peppered with bespoke timelines that chart the Doctor’s interaction with each planet, not just in his television appearances, but short stories, comics and radio stories as well.

Front cover design: Haunted Weekly
Skinn finally decided to focus on just the one character, Dr. Strange, with him pointing at the reader, and drew a rough for me to follow using a logo designed by fellow artist Steve Parkhouse.
COVER CHARACTERS Whether working on established characters or your own, there are pros and cons It’s nice to be given the run of the toy-box, and certainly I’ve had that on Superman and Green Lanterns On the other hand, creating your own stuff has its own rewards, and of course in today’s market, where it’s possible to retain rights, that’s by far the preferable situation from a business or financial point of view
172 >> Chapter 6: design
I tightened up the topline, moved Dr. Strange’s hand away from his face and got rid of the awful window surround on the visual. Drawing in traditional marker pen and color pencils, I also gave Strange the more traditional hand gesture made famous by the character’s original creator, Steve Ditko.
Despite the project never taking off, decades later Skinn digitally redesigned the cover, simplifying the speech balloon to just “Dare You Enter?” and moving the teaser text to the dead-space over the castle, creating a much tighter overall look.

PONYTAILS
WRAPPED PONYTAIL THE LOOK
This wrapped ponytail is the perfect style if you have long hair and find it difficult to keep your ponytail in place. It’s a casual yet sophisticated hairstyle that works from day to night. By leaving out the top section of hair, you’ll find it easier to put the remainder of your hair up. The top section is then wrapped around the base of the ponytail in a twisting motion. You angle your hair down as you wrap, and then your ponytail is pinned flat against the back of your head.
HOW TO GET IT WHAT YOU NEED

• Brush • Hair clip • Hair elastic • Bobby pins • Hairspray (optional)

DIFFICULTY LEVEL Medium IDEAL HAIR LENGTH Medium to long HAIR EXTENSIONS NEEDED? No, but you can use a ponytail extension on shorter hair.
From elaborate ‘up-dos’ to casual braids, inspirational hairstyles continue to populate fashion blogs, Pinterest boards and style magazines everywhere. However, this popularity belies a gaping lack of authoritative advice on the techniques required to create these styles, and so Braids, Buns & Twists presents this comprehensive resource. With over 80 hairstyles to choose from, covering classic as well as modern hairstyles, this book offers invaluable advice and a wealth of contemporary visual inspiration. Directory entries enable the reader to choose what style is most appropriate for the occasion, their available time, hair length, and hair type, also indicating how time consuming or difficult the style is to put together. The accompanying step-by-step tutorials then give the reader the instructions they need to replicate that style.
ASSISTANCE NEEDED? No ACCESSORIES Your hair acts as an accessory in this hairstyle, wrapping around your ponytail to create a twist. A jeweled clip or flower can be pinned into the side of the twist to add a more detailed look for nighttime.
1. Brush your hair to remove any knots before you begin. Take a section of hair at the top of your head to your crown and clip it up and out of the way.
TRY THIS Adjust the position of the ponytail to give this hairstyle a different look. For instance, you could tie a really high ponytail or place it lower on the back of your head.
SEE ALSO Top knot bun, pages 116–117 French twist, pages 130–131

2. Gather the remainder of your hair into a ponytail at your crown. Try to place the base of the ponytail close to the edge of the section you clipped up at the top. Secure your ponytail with a hair elastic. 3. Next, unclip the top section of hair and adjust the front to sit in a small pompadour shape. Use a bobby pin to secure in place just above your ponytail. 4. Wrap the remainder of the top section of hair around your ponytail. Stay as close to the base of your ponytail as possible to avoid the hair sliding down as you wrap it around. Secure the end of the wrapped section with a bobby pin. Top: Hairstyling and photography by Christina Butcher, modeling by An Ly. Bottom: Hairstyling and photography by Christina Butcher, modeling by Nicole Jeyaraj.
5. Flatten your ponytail against the back of your head and use bobby pins to secure it in place.
TOP TIP To get a neat, smooth finish, hold the end of your ponytail while you adjust the wrapped section so that it sits flat against the back of your head. Angle your bobby pins diagonally, and for a stronger hold you can cross your pins in an X shape. Finish with hairspray to keep your ponytail in place.

Contemporary Upholstery Techniques and Inspiration for Upstyling your Furniture
Simple sewing techniques for beautiful curtains, drapes, and shades
Divided into three main sections, Contemporary Upholstery begins with an overview of the essential tools and materials needed for home upholstery. The second section includes detailed advice on choosing and working with fabric, including how to select the best fabrics for your project, how to match fabrics with furniture, what the most durable fabrics are, and how to keep fabrics looking fresh and new. Section three provides step-by-step tutorials that are technique rather than project driven and range from quick makeovers to simple solutions for processes like webbing, springing and stuffing. Accompanied by colourful and easy-to-follow illustrations, these tutorials will allow the reader to give their furniture a new lease of life. Alongside the techniques are case studies of projects by contemporary upholsterers. Featuring before and after photos of salvaged photos, the upholsterers explain how they tackled the project, provide information about fabric and colour choices, the challenges faced and share the knowledge they learnt. All this combines to make Contemporary Upholstery the perfect go-to-guide for all creative homemakers looking to give their home that unique, personalised and utterly stylish look.

At some point in your life, you will produce a piece of graphic design. Whether that be a birthday card, a poster, or an ad for your office notice board, do yourself proud—make it great! Armed with this book, packed with everyday design proj ects and simple What is Graphic Design For? workthroughs, you can give your design the Alice Twemlow professional touch. Graphic Design for Nondesigners explains the basic principles of graphic design, including the effective use of space, color, and type. It distills the hard-won knowledge of professional designers into simple dos and don’ts, and illustrates tips and hints through clear comparative examples. Not forgetting the bewildering choice and costs of equipment, it outlines the best and most cost-effective materials, and offers recommendations for hardware and software options.
What is Packaging Design? Giles Calver
Includes 20 step-by-step proj ects for: • adverts • logos • letterheads and business cards • menus • newsletters • gift wrap and invitations What is Publication Design? • posters • CD and DVD packagingLakshmi Bhaskaran • websites and blogs • T-shirts
Issues Design does not take place in a vacuum. This book starts by exploring all of the issues that shape design, including economics, ethics, technology, theory, and developments in the other arts. It looks at how design has evolved over the centuries—from its origins in medieval Germany to today, including areas such as corporate branding, magazines, television titles, and websites.
Anatomy What is Graphic Design? breaks the discipline down into its elements, looking at typography, how text and pictures combine—the essence of graphic design— and how the process of reproduction underpins every aspect of design.
The ultimate primer for the design rookie
Portfolios There is no single ideal for how a designer should be. They can practice alone or be part of a large group, and can write, edit, curate, take photographs, design typefaces, and be an entrepreneur. This book concludes with an analysis of a diverse group of young designers who illustrate just how broad and rich the profession can be.
“It’s a concise, informed, considered overview of an easy to misunderstand job. Somehow, Newark’s created a simple guide without being simplistic. What is Graphic Design? includes an entertaining and thoughtprovoking list of what the world would be without if graphic design was banned.” Design Week
“Good solid books on this subject, especially those aimed at students, are hard to find. So it is a relief that this one has been published ... This book should be automatically presented to all graphic design students.” Graphics International “Includes an excellent and unpredictable set of contemporary international examples.” MacUser

The World’s Top Photographers: Photojournalism offers a spellbinding showcase of the best in the field, as well as an impressive record of some of the current events that have changed the world.
Praise for The World’s Top Photographers series:
There are many single images that encapsulate an event. Often, though, the photojournalists, who go to dangerous lengths to capture the shot, remain under the radar. The latest in the stunning World’s Top Photographers series pays homage to the portfolios of 30 of the world’s leading photojournalists, celebrating work that is by turns gritty, provocative, beautiful, instructive, and often shocking. From battlefields and civil unrest to documentary images of everday life, Photojournalism brings together a collection of current events that have defined our times. This is combined with incisive interviews with the photographers, revealing the stories behind each shot, their techniques, and their inspiration, giving greater insight into the human stories behind each amazing snapshot in time.
“In terms of inspiration and page after page of superb photography, there is little to touch it.” Photography Monthly “Take a sample of the work of the world’s premier photographers. Add a bit of biography and give the artists the opportunity to talk about their work. Ask them to provide some background to the shots, and then mount the whole enterprise in a book that will enhance any coffee table. It is a concept that proves to be as gorgeous as it is simple.” The Good Book Guide

Though the majority of Kashmiri people are Muslim, there is also a strong legacy of Sufism in the region, creating a special brand of Islam throughout the area.
