How to Disappear - Moki

How to Disappear � it�s a constant concern in artist Moki�s work. Moki�s photorealistic paintings find inspiration in comic book themes and natural and human mysteries. Her images are unsettling and charming, strange yet familiar. They feature lonely northern landscapes: isolated Scandinavian and Icelandic terrain, a subarctic frozen lake continent, untouched caves and moss meadows, and mountains sculpted into anatomical shapes by wind and water. Animals and humans emerge and dissolve into their environments. Within the solitude of nature, disappearing seems an obvious act. Moki lives and works in Hamburg, where she studied at the Hamburg Academy of Arts. She also creates animation, comics, performance art, and toys and is active in international art collectives and the Street Art scene. Her art evokes the animation of Hayao Miyazaki, but with a chilling beauty that's pure Moki. Enjoy the haunting alternate world within this monograph.

Ever since the T-shirt crossed over from unadorned male innerwear item to a hugely popular unisex wardrobe staple more than half a century ago, no other piece of apparel has featured as many expressive and fascinating claims, statements, typefaces and �instant messages.� These transmitted messages gain an irreversible strength and power through the motifs that, in this book�s pages, are reduced to their substance, related to the form and content. Created for fans of graphic design, fashion and popular culture, TypoShirt One is an intriguing look at the wearable fabric canvases where these worlds�and words�meet.

Selected A - Graphic Design from Europe

INCLUDES A DVD WITH THE NEW MEDIA PROJECTS SELECTION Selected is not an award, but rather, as its name suggests, it is a "selection" of the best European design projects completed within year 2009 by graphic studios, designers and students from across Europe. The projects are chosen by a team of renowned professionals - Selectors - from various fields in the visual communication and graphic design industries, who meet to make a selection of the best work pieces among all the entries received. Only the projects which are chosen from their expert point of view are ultimately included in the book. The annual is presented with an original design and in a special format, smaller than the average yearbook. The book is divided into three different categories (Graphic Design, New Media and Schools) and each project is featured individually on a double-page spread. Instead of being numbered, each edition of Selected is assigned a letter, in alphabetical order, which is also the initial of the font face used in the book. Namely, the first volume in the series, Selected A, refers to the font face AkzidGroBe. This is Index Book's special way of paying homage to typography as an iconic element in design. The team of Selectors assigned for this edition have been, under each category:

Graphic Design: Bj�rn Kusoffsky (Stockholm Design Lab), Edwin van Gelder (Mainstudio), Lars Harmsen (Magma Brand Design), Agathe Jacquillat (Fl@33), Eduardo del Fraile (Dfraile).
New Media: David Linderman (Hi-ReS!), Joakim Borgstr�m (Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam).

The Clich� R�sum� Book With: 320 pages of European Skateboarding

Clich�: R�sum� spotlights the largest, best known European skateboard brand from its humble beginnings during the days of VHS and Polaroids to the present. Classic skate photography takes center stage with crucial work from some of the industries' most renowned lens-men such as Mike O'Meally, Olivier Chassignole, Oliver Barton, Alexis Zavialoff, Benjamin Deberdt, Fred Mortagne and more. This epic narrative is given form with a lively text written by Transworld SKATEboard�s Mackenzie Eisenhour. "Resum�" chronicles the tactics of J�r�mie Daclin, as he launches Clich� skateboards in France in 1997 and pours his heart and soul into a start-up with no money, investors, or even employees. Daclin�s shoestring budget never held him back, as breath-taking tour imagery ranging from Athens, Greece, to New York City, to the island of Sardinia and Italy quickly makes clear. Interviews, tales of camping in sewer tunnels, rental van tours, and home-cooked meals are all integral to the story of Resum�. This modus operandi at the heart of Clich�s strategy culminates with the Gypsy Tours 1 & 2 � a skateboard "Survivor"-style challenge to team skaters, forced to test their mettle by travelling with no secured lodging on only 10 euros a day. More recently, Clich� has broken into the American market, just as Daclin dreamed, and now with the release of "Resume", tackles the rest of the world too.

Feedback. Marketing Directo e Interactivo

Feedback offers a selection of the best actions in direct and interactive marketing sent directly to the general public or to a segmented audience, with the purpose of obtaning a direct response or interaction from the targeted persons. Feedback presents several examples of direct response marketing bringing together projects from various disciplines in a single book, including: relational marketing, direct marketing, guerrilla marketing, interactive marketing, etc. These specialities are illustrated with projects by agencies such as Mr. John Sample, Remo D6, Taxi Studio Ltd., Ros & Asociados, Villarros�s, Herederos de Rowan, among others, based on direct marketing, together with others based on interactive marketing by agencies such as Wieden+Kennedy, OgilvyInterative, Forsman & Bodenfors, Big Spaceship, Cuatic, Minnim� The pieces of work shown here belong to clients such as Sony, Amnesty International, Electronic Arts, Fila, Starbucks, Nike, Toyota, IKEA, Mango, etc., but one may also find examples of work for more modest clients, such as self-promotion campaigns by the agencies themselves or even wedding invites. The purpose of Feedback is to illustrate the philosophy of integral marketing -also known as 360� marketing - to which most agencies and studios are currently turning to. That is why the book is divided in 5 chapters, i.e. Low Cost, Concept, 360�, Technique and Strategy. The first chapter, Low Cost, includes projects made on a low budget such as wedding invites, greetings or self-promotion pieces, among other examples. These prove that creativity can be stretched enough to create effective and efficient campaigns with a small investment, by adding a complicity component and interacting with the recipient. The Concept chapter presents a portfolio of projects in which the recipients� implication becomes directly related to the concept which the product / service / brand campaign beholds, making it especially memorable as the user revives the concept experience. This goes to prove that bi-directional communication between sender and recipient, together with the active participation of both, become the best way to deliver a message. Under 360� we continue to talk about the feedback philosophy, although this time applied to integral communication, offering an overview from different fields. Interaction has no limits � from a website to a reflection on a building front. This fact is showcased in examples such as the ambient marketing performance in a mall in which children are able to play in front of a tactile screen by using their own bodies and movements. Other campaigns may also imply printed advertising, call centres or other direct response channels. Under Technique, the showcased examples feature an outstanding component of technical innovation � i.e. A window display which reacts to pedestrians� movements; websites in which users can communicate not only by using their keyboard but also their webcam� Resorting to this kind of technical solutions provides a great creativity potential allowing the development of campaigns in which feedback becomes an added value for the user, turning him into an ally of the message. The last chapter based on Strategy covers campaigns which are skillfull enough to reach their audience directly. The evidence goes to show that, in certain cases, messages which are directed to very specific audiences are more effective than those which are broadcasted through the mass media. We hope that Feedback serves as a source of inspiration for designers and creatives alike.
