| 9781732686601 | Evolve Or Die: Lessons For World-Class Innovation & Creativity | Thomas C. Triumph | "Many books end up on a bookshelf. Evolve or Die should be very near where you work. After reading it, I keep going back to it. I love to randomly open it up to any page and read a few pages, often several times a week. It's a fun experience and very stimulating for anyone with a big curiosity." -- John Sculley, Businessman, Entrepreneur and InvestorExpand your creative and entrepreneurial mind and learn how to give the world everything you've got to offer.Assuming you're someone interested in learning and improving - and making a difference - this book was written with you in mind. Whether you're at the top of the corporate pyramid or somewhere nearer the base, or a stay-at-home parent coordinating the endless duties of the family, or an entrepreneur orchestrating a finite amount of time and resources, you're working to make a difference. And yes, your work and what you do matters. This book contains a culmination of experiences, thoughts, and learning from world-class innovators and creators.Every single story is true, and every single story is relevant to you. Common themes of these stories are hard work, persistence, and courage. Sometimes luck plays a role, but things are more often learned the hard way. And, as is the case whenever there are innovators and creators involved, thereís also a fair amount of love running rampant through these stories. Evidently, rampant is how love likes to run - especially when itís heading toward a goal and vision. Perhaps most importantly, youíll see that every one of these luminaries was made, not born.The title Evolve or Die is somewhat blunt. It's an exaggeration, but I believe that it's closer to the truth than many people realize. Itís my genuine hope that this book and the stories within it are of real interest and benefit to you.It might seem trite to write this, but (in reference to Henry David Thoreau) you werenít meant to settle for a life of quiet desperation. You need to innovate and create. Itís better to learn from the champions, practice like your life depends on it (and to an extent it does), and come out strong and punching above your weight (because you can). Youíve got a lot to offer this world. We all do. Iím in your corner, offering guidance and cheering for you.Get in the ring, come out swinging, and fight the good fight.Don't wait!

| 9781616899776 | How Design Makes Us Think: And Feel And Do Things | Sean Adams | “… thought provoking, beautiful, and superbly created.” —Paula Scher, Partner, Pentagram“Insightful and accessible, Sean Adams tackles design from every angle and every medium.”—Jennifer Morla, President and Creative Director, Morla DesignAIGA medalist and former AIGA National President Sean Adams visually explores design principles and theory that affect the way we think and how we behave.Design is everywhere. It’s visceral. It’s intellectual. It’s emotional. While we often discuss the aesthetics of design, we don't always dig deeper into the ways design can overtly, or covertly, influence how we feel and act.In How Design Makes Us Think, AIGA award-winning graphic designer Sean Adams walks us through the power of design to attract attention and convey meaning. Through hundreds of examples across design principles, from graphic design to industrial design to architecture, Adams illustrates how design can inspire, provoke, amuse, anger, or reassure us, or subtly or consciously influence our thoughts and behavior.The book also delves into the sociological, psychological, and historical reasons for our responses to design, offering practitioners and clients alike a new appreciation of their responsibility to create design with the best intentions. How Design Makes Us Think is an essential read for designers, educators, advertisers, psychology enthusiasts, marketing professionals, and anyone who wants to understand how the design around us makes us think, feel, and do things. | Princeton Architectural Press |

| 9783836545303 | Logo Modernism | R. Roger Remington | Modernist aesthetics in architecture, art, and product design are familiar to many. In soaring glass structures or minimalist canvases, we recognize a time of vast technological advance which affirmed the power of human beings to reshape their environment and to break, radically, from the conventions or constraints of the past. Less well-known, but no less fascinating, is the distillation of modernism in graphic design.This unprecedented TASCHEN publication, authored by Jens Müller, brings together approximately 6,000 trademarks, focused on the period 1940–1980, to examine how modernist attitudes and imperatives gave birth to corporate identity. Ranging from media outfits to retail giants, airlines to art galleries, the sweeping survey is organized into three design-orientated chapters: Geometric, Effect, and Typographic. Each chapter is then sub-divided into form and style led sections such as alphabet, overlay, dots and squares.Alongside the comprehensive catalog, the book features an introduction from Jens Müller on the history of logos, and an essay by R. Roger Remington on modernism and graphic design. Eight designer profiles and eight instructive case studies are also included, with a detailed look at the life and work of such luminaries as Paul Rand, Yusaku Kamekura, and Anton Stankowski, and at such significant projects as Fiat, The Daiei Inc., and the Mexico Olympic Games of 1968. An unrivaled resource for graphic designers, advertisers, and branding specialists, Logo Modernism is equally fascinating to anyone interested in social, cultural, and corporate history, and in the sheer persuasive power of image and form. | Taschen America Llc |
