No Rules! Logos is a new survey series that rounds up the most innovative, radical, and out-there graphic solutions, from around the world. In each book, dyed-in-the-wool design rules are identified, and a range of examples demonstrate how to break those rules, to great effect. Each entry is featured in a number of illustrations, analysed and assessed, and includes feedback about impact and audience reaction.

No Rules! Logos tackles perhaps the most venerated discipline of graphic design, the corporate identity and its logotype. Of course, in the world of No Rules! anything goes, especially with a young generation of entrepreneurs and boutique businesses needing logos and identities to grace products as diverse as vinyl toys, home-made recordings, recycled fashion, and limited-edition products from skateboards to pet accessories. The book identifies 10 key “rules” of logo design, such as “keep it simple,” “make a mark that is constant and unchanging,” and “keep to primary colors or black and white.”

How dull would a seasonal holiday or special day be without the addition of celebration graphics—be it greetings cards, gift wrap, food packaging, sales promotions, gift supplements, merchandising, window displays, or room and street decorations? With international clients recognizing diverse religious observations, an increasing number of festivals, celebrations, and holidays are appearing on the calendar, and designers are being commissioned to communicate celebration greetings to audiences worldwide. Celebration Graphics Sourcebook presents innovative case studies from across all media, budgets, and cultures. Celebrations are arranged month by month, interspersed with weddings, birthdays, Name Days, and other life-marking events.

A mixture of case study and analysis, this series features inspirational ideas, concise interviews, innovative solutions, and imaginative imagery, all presented in a sophisticated, picture-led format, which will become a design studio must-have. By emphasizing the cross-disciplinary nature of today’s design consultancies, and the greater role of collaboration between designers and firms with different skills and specialties, the Total Design Sourcebooks present an holistic approach to design, which accurately illustrates the way brands are designed and marketed these days.   

The first title in this exciting new series, Display, includes 55 projects from galleries, exhibitions, museums, and trade shows. For each project, the total design is examined, including architecture, interiors, exhibition design, lighting, banners, branding, identity, interface design, packaging, and websites.
