Japanese Graphic Design is perhaps the most comprehensive look yet at the design aesthetic that still leads the world with its perfect blend of elegance and simplicity. While focusing on contemporary design and its timeless appeal, the book launches with a survey of several Japanese masters of the last few decades that exemplify these design principles through their diverse graphic work. From Norito Shinmura and his beautiful nature inspired graphics to Shun Sasaki's maximalist approach and bold use of color. With in-depth interviews we gather rare insight into both their creative processes and the cultural environment that allowed their design output to flourish and find resonance. The last chapter showcases brand new cross category work either inspired by the likes of the great designers profiled or representing the masters of tomorrow. Featured Designers: Kazumasa Nagai, Keiko Hirano, Norito Shinmura, Yoshiaki Irobe, Daigo Daikoku, Atsushi Hirano, Aya Codama, Taku Sasaki, Shun Sasaki

The way apparel has been worn and created by skateboarders over the past 50 years has had a tremendous impact on popular culture at large. In 'Skateboarding Is Not A Fashion', the authors have taken great effort to document all aspects of this aesthetic movement; from its roots in the 1950s as an offshoot of surfing culture, through the early 1980s when skateboarding "found itself" after a crucial underground period of soul searching and DIY expressions of individuality. Early generations of surfers and skaters wore coastal lifestyle brands such as Jantzen, Hang Ten, Jams, Vans and Hobie. As the culture progressed and developed its own distinct identity, brands core to the scene such as Vans, Santa Cruz, Powell-Peralta, Sims, Alva, Jimmy'Z and many more jumped into the fray with their own apparel. Nearly every area of garment design was touched by skate wear's aesthetic-- influencing the design and fashion of innumerable media from printed T-shirts to board shorts and denim to track suits along the way

Distinctive hand lettering is an essential skill for artists and designers. Deftly executed letter froms are a nearly forgotten art in an age of endless free fonts. Graffiti is one of the last reservoirs of highly refined, well practiced penmanship. The most reviled and persecuted form of Graffiti, the Tag, is seldom appresiated for the raw beauty of its skeletal letter forms. Most tags are removed immediately, and the casual viewer seldom has a chance to descern the difference between entry level and advanced hand styles. Within the pages of Flip the Script, author Christian Acker systematically analyzes the best graffiti writers from around the United States. Acker presents the lettering samples in a clean organized format, giving the material a proper formal treatment evoking classic typography books.
