Learn to design simple, powerful, and timeless logos. When you
think of a brand, often the first thing that comes to mind is the
logo, the visual representation of that product, place, thing, or
business. The power of simplicity for these marks can never be
underestimated-a logo that comprises simple shapes can communicate
a stronger message than a complex one, leaving a lasting impression
in a viewer's mind. In Principles of Logo Design, noted logo
designer George Bokhua shares his process for creating logotypes
that will stand the test of time. Applying the enduring principles
of classic texts on grid systems by Josef Muller-Brockmann and on
form and design by Wucius Wong, Bokhua elaborates on his popular
online classes, demonstrating in detail how to maximize
communicationwith minimal information to create logos using,
simple, monochromatic shapes. This comprehensive volume includes:
How to apply a strong, simple, and minimal design aesthetic to logo
design Why gridding is important, and understanding the golden
ratio and when to use it How to sketch and refine logos through
tracing, then grid and execute a mark in Adobe Illustrator
Fine-tuning techniques to ensure visual integrity Knowing how to
design a great logo is a core skill for any graphic designer.
Principles of Logo Design helps designers at all levels of skill
and experience conceive, develop, and create logos that are not
only pleasing to the eye but evoke a sense of perfection.

"If you're a lover of wildlife imagery, this is worth adding to
your wishlist" -Amateur Photographer "...an amazing new photobook
on the giants of the animal kingdom..." -Examiner USA "This is the
type of book that makes a handsome gift for any wildlife lover. But
you'll want to look at every photo before giving it away."
-Inhabitat "This book marvelously lives up to its title, not just
in size... but in subject matter: big animals, from lions to sharks
to grizzly bears, all stunningly photographed by two highly
accomplished wildlife photographers who decided to combine their
work for this wondrous portfolio." -Air Mail When we encounter an
animal in nature, it triggers something in us; we feel a certain
emotion in the presence of the other creature: amazement,
adoration, fascination, and indeed, in some situations, fear and
apprehension. But a brush with a deer, wild boar, or hare is no
comparison to a rendezvous with a grizzly, lion, shark, or pod of
whales. Amos Nachoum and Marko Dimitrijevic have experienced this
hundreds of times in their combined 70 years as wildlife
photographers. Now, for the first time, they are combining their
award-winning photographs with previously unpublished photographs
of the world's largest animals in one book. The two photographers,
who are also friends, tell us what it is like to be out in the wild
and look the world's biggest animals right in the eye. The
structure of the book's chapters is arranged based on human
emotions such as amazement, admiration, fear, and love. In their
book, Nachoum and Dimitrijevic bring us closer to the giant animals
of our planet, and allow us to share what these two men feel during
these encounters, helping us learn about ourselves when we do so.

The horror of the First World War brought out a characteristic
response in a group of English artists, who resorted to black
humour. Among these, John Hassall, a pioneering British illustrator
and creator of the influential 'Skegness is so bracing' poster,
holds a special place. Early in the war, he hit on the idea of
drawing a parody of the Bayeux Tapestry to satirize German
aggression and add to the growing genre of war propaganda. Taking
the scheme of the famous tapestry which celebrates William the
Conqueror's invasion of England, Hassall uses thirty pictorial
panels to tell the story of Kaiser Wilhem II's invasion of
Luxembourg and Belgium. In mock-archaic language he narrates the
progress of the German army, never missing an opportunity to
lampoon 'bad' behaviour: 'Wilhelm giveth orders for frightfulness.'
The caricatured Germans loot homes, make gas from Limburg cheese
and sauerkraut, drink copious amounts of wine and shamefully march
through Luxembourg with 'women and children in front.' With comic
inventiveness Hassall adapts the borders of the original to
illustrate the stereotypical objects with which the English then
associated their enemy: they are decorated with schnitzel,
sausages, pilsner, wine corks and wild boar. Drawn with Hassall's
distinctive flat colour and striking outlines, Ye Berlyn Tapestrie
is a fascinating historical example of war-induced farce, produced
by a highly talented artist who could not then have known that the
war was set to last for another two years. Together with an
introduction which sets out the historical background of its
creation, every page of this rarely seen publication is reproduced
here in a fold-out concertina, just like the original, to resemble
the style of the Bayeux Tapestry.
This book is the first to explore and highlight the history of the
plants mentioned in the Qur’an, many of which are part of our
everyday life, from pomegranates and grapes to ginger and garlic.
Author Shahina A. Ghazanfar explores the context in which these
plants are mentioned in the Qur’an - mainly as food plants, as
well as for medicinal use, use in beauty, fragrance or for shade.
Shahina’s in-depth research for this book has led to new findings
in our knowledge of the historical and cultural significance of
these plants, their traditional and present uses, as well as
detailed exploration of the context in which they are mentioned in
the Qur’an. The main section of the book highlights thirty of the
plants most prominent in the Qur’an, with details on where the
plant is mentioned in the Qur’an text, detailed etymology,
cultural history, and botanical description. Each of these plants
are beautifully illustrated with unique botanical paintings by
artist Sue Wickison, drawn from living specimens in the wild. The
authors take us on a fascinating journey through the cultural
history of these important plants, brought to life with vivid and
stunningly detailed botanical paintings.
