1000 Icons, Symbols and Pictograms
order quantity
NZ$ 85.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Blackcoffee
Pictorial symbols are, in some respects, superior to words as a form of communication. If well designed, they can be understood by people of all different races and cultures and can be recognised by children even years before they learn to read. Symbols can be identified more quickly than words, making them especially useful in situations where fast reactions are required. As a result, symbols are of the utmost importance to graphic designers and their ever-present challenge to create effective visual communication for their clients. Like Rockport's other 1000 series books, this collection of designs provides a virtual catalogue of ideas for designers to look to for creative inspiration. No matter what type of job or client presents itself, designers can view the work of 1000 other talented designers to find unique and distinctive elements and influences.

But throughout history there have been moments of vital importance that have taken place not on the battlefield, or in the palaces of power, or even in the violence of nature, but between the pages of a book. In his fascinating new book accompanying the TV series, Melvyn Bragg presents a vivid reminder of the book as agent of social, political and personal revolution.
Twelve Books that Changed the World
presents a rich variety of human endeavour and a great diversity of characters. Here are famous books by Darwin, Newton and Shakespeare – but we also discover the stories behind some less well-known works, such as Marie Stopes’ Married Love, the original radical feminist Mary Wollstonecraft’s A Vindication of the Rights of Woman – and even the rules to an obscure ball game that became the most ...
