American Illustration 32 Amilus Inc 2014 ISBN 9781886212398 Acqn 23310 Hb 24x32cm 384pp 369col ills 53.50 Illustration, as a vital tool of communication and visual delight, continues to defy exaggerated reports of its own demise with artists taking bold risks and forging new markets with selfgenerated projects--all the while maintaining a healthy amount of traditional assignment work from publishers and advertising agencies. The creative and enterprising persistence is clear in this years robust collection of 369 winning images as selected by a jury from 8,742 entries submitted to the annual competition. Illustration Lives: American Illustration 32 features an original cover created by artist Jon Han with an impressionistic take on the human figure. Under the creative direction of Richard Turley with his design team from Bloomberg Businessweek, American Illustration 32 generously presents the winning images one image per page in alphabetical order by artist, and includes die-cut thumb tabs. An image index includes the artists contact information, captions and creative credits listing the publications, schools, agencies and clients who commissioned and utilized the winning work. As an added bonus, the books designers took the competition data and re-imagined the facts and figures in six whimsical but informative charts. These "graphical extrapolations of truth" include data on the global locations of the winning artists; gender breakdown; predominant colours and subjects; number of winning images per publication and school; and the location of the contenders who entered the competition but were not selected by the jury for inclusion this year. orders@artdata.co.uk www.artdata.co.uk

Co-Evolution - Kiki Van Eijk And Joost Van Bleiswijk Lecturis 2014 ISBN 9789070108908 Acqn 23346 Hb 21x33cm 212pp 200ills 150col 52.50 Joost van Bleiswijks quest for the archetypal form may have launched his career, but his clear visual language is now the logical result of the construction process. Made of rectangular sheets, the forms of this product designers output tend to be almost abstract in their geometry, forcing him to select recognisable images. His studio and real-life partner, Kiki van Eijk, makes things that are simultaneously whimsical and surreal, emphasising the child-like wonder of objects, essentially toys for grown-ups. This compelling story of two designers critical and supportive of each others work, immersed and inspired by their environment can be read from either cover.
