Petite Pattern Book

The Best Collection: Vivid

Whether you design textiles, graphics, books, advertisements or websites, you can’t find a more fertile source of inspiration than these book/CD collections of patterns from the unique Japanese publisher BNN. These two books, Vivid and Soft, are essentially “greatest hits” compilations from BNN’s best-selling Petit Pattern Book series of the last few years. For each book, the cutest 200 patterns have been chosen from the ten volumes of the series and re-worked in new colorways, while 100 new patterns have been added – for a total of 300 mind-expanding patterns. In Vivid, the patterns and designs pulse with energy. Think plaids, Op-Art oscillations, Gee’s Bend quilts, Marimekko and Christmas wrapping paper. A gallery of photos in each book offers great starting points for using the patterns. As always, all the patterns are in the public domain. Each volume comes with an easy-to-use CD accessible for Mac and PC users in jpeg and eps formats. There are also instructions on using the CDs in Photoshop and Illustrator, including how to tile patterns, how to change the color of a pattern, and how to turn a pattern into desktop “wallpaper” for your computer. You’ll wonder how you lived without these.

In Soft, the volume’s turned down, but not the style: think vintage kimonos, baby showers, a day at the spa and Martha Stewart on acid. A gallery of photos in each book offers great starting points for using the patterns. As always, all the patterns are in the public domain. Each volume comes with an easy-to-use CD accessible for Mac and PC users in jpeg and eps formats.

POSTER GRAPHICS

Yusuke Shouno (Ed.)

Despite the vast changes in the technology of information distribution, the good old, two-dimensional, printed-on-paper poster is still the unrivaled king of advertising. No genre of design better illustrates Charles Eames famous dictum: “Design is a plan for arranging elements in such a way as best to accomplish a particular purpose.” This inspirational collection of 300 recent posters from around the world proves that the poster is thriving. Richly illustrated, the selection goes far beyond commercial advertising, straight to the front lines of contemporary design practice, considering the poster as perhaps the most experimental form of graphic work today. A must-have for design libraries, the book includes work by young design greats as HORT (Berlin) and Atlas Studio (Zürich) plus a complete index with short bios of each designer in Japanese and English.
