Чип Кидд - циклы книг | Бумажные издания

Как придумать удачный дизайн? И как оценить качество дизайна? На эти вопросы отвечает Чип Кидд — знаменитый книжный дизайнер и один из самых остроумных спикеров ТЕД. В отличие от “просто” искусства, дизайн всегда решает какую-то конкретную проблему. Как сделать максимально понятным дорожный знак? Как нарисовать обложку, которая превратит книгу в бестселлер? Как придумать остроумный и подкупающий рекламный слоган? И как не поддаться соблазну циничной манипуляции, инструментом которой подчас становится дизайн (“Разумеется, это полезный продукт! Смотрите — на упаковке нарисована морковка!”)? К счастью, нам не обязательно быть дизайнерами, чтобы оценить, насколько хорошо дизайн решает проблемы. Ведь это наши проблемы.

Дизайнером может стать каждый! Даже тот, кто ничего не слышал о форме, линии, масштабе, шрифте и прочих элементах дизайна.
Чип Кидд — знаменитый дизайнер, совершивший революцию в американском книжном дизайне, знает о них все. Он расскажет, как следовать правилам дизайна и нарушать их. Его потрясающими обложками вы можете полюбоваться на сайте Chipkidd.com.
Эта книга переворачивает представление о дизайне, учит смотреть под новым углом на привычные вещи. Чип Кидд показывает, как важно отсечь лишнее и выделить главное, рассказывает о разных видах графики так, что поймет даже ребенок, который никогда не занимался творчеством! А в конце книги вы найдете 10 проектов, которые можете выполнить сами и выложить на сайт автора.
Дерзайте!

In this new original graphic novel from superstar writer/designer Chip Kidd and artist Dave Taylor, Gotham City is undergoing one of the most expansive construction booms in its history. The most prestigious architects from across the globe have buildings in various phases of completion all over town. As chairman of the Gotham Landmarks Commission, Bruce Wayne has been a key part of this boom, which signals a golden age of architectural ingenuity for the city. And then, the explosions begin. All manner of design-related malfunctions – faulty crane calculations, sturdy materials suddently collapsing, software glitches, walkways giving way and much more – cause casualties across the city. This bizarre string of seemingly random, unconnected catastrophes threaten to bring the whole construction industry down. Fingers are pointed as Batman must somehow solve the problem and find whoever is behind it all.

A behind-the-scenes story of the hit show that revolutionized television animation and brought a new look to the legendary Caped Crusader. Since its premiere in September 1992, "Batman: The Animated Series" has been acclaimed by enthusiastic viewers and longtime fans of the Batman character as the defining image of the Dark Knight onscreen. Now readers are offered an inside look into the creation of the series. Granted unprecedented access to the archives of the Warner Bros Animation Studio, Chip Kidd has combined photographs by photographer Geoff Spear and fashioned a layout of pre-production and finished artwork that echoes the boldness of producer-designer Bruce Timm's powerful TV show. Paul Dini's text offers commentary on the series' history, development, and continuing production. It includes glimpses into the making of the Batman animated features "Mask of the Phantasm" and "SubZero", and a peek into future projects.

Mythology returns, in a newly expanded paperback edition of the book Entertainment Weekly awarded a grade of A, saying: "Alex Ross brings to his work an unparalleled sense of the real. His heroes - both super and mortal - have weight; they exist in space, and that space is affected by them in ways never before seen on the page". And so here they are, the incomparable cast of the DC Comics universe: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Aquaman, the Green Lantern, and the rest of the Justice League as you've never seen them before. Mythology brings together the best loved comic characters in the world, brought to life by Alex Ross, one of the most astonishing young artists working in the medium today. The award-winning designer/writer Chip Kidd and photographer Geoff Spear have teamed up to create a book like no other, with an introduction by M.Night Shyamalan, the acclaimed director of The Village and The Sixth Sense.
Ross has often been called the Norman Rockwell of comics, and this book reveals not only his lifelong love of these classic superheroes but also his vision: Mythology takes you into the studio for a behind-the-scenes look at his fascinating creative process. The combination of Ross's dynamic art and Kidd's kinetic design makes images from his most memorable stories - including Kingdom Come, Superman: Peace on Earth, Batman: War on Crime, and Uncle Sam - soar off the more than 300 pages.
The new material centers on Ross's startling new comic book series, Justice, including sketches, preliminary art, prototype figures, and more. Mythology is a book in which every page explodes with the power of the icons it celebrates.
