Colour is one of the essential elements of many branding designs.
It can help give an identity personality and warmth, express
emotion, communicate messages in an unconscious and subtle way and
it can keep or navigate the viewer's interest, drawing the eye and
making elements stand out. This book explores colour palettes in
graphic design that surprise, engage, challenge and grab our
attention - the combinations that maybe shouldn't work but just do.
These are palettes that break the established rules and laws we
have been taught about colour theory and remind us that colour can
be fun as well as meaningful.
Platinum Jubilee edition 'Full of gems ... Angela Kelly is a jewel
in the crown' Daily Telegraph 'Entertaining and beautifully
illustrated' The Sunday Times 'For real intel, [The Crown] can't
come close to The Other Side of the Coin by Angela Kelly' The New
York Times 'When Angela Kelly and The Queen are together, laughter
echoes through the corridors of Buckingham Palace.' Angela worked
with The Queen and walked the corridors of the Royal Household for
twenty-eight years, initially as Her Majesty's Senior Dresser and
then latterly as Her Majesty's Personal Advisor, Curator, Wardrobe
and In-house Designer. As the first person in history to hold this
title, she shared a uniquely close working relationship with The
Queen. Her Majesty personally gave Angela her blessing to share
their extraordinary bond with the world. Whether it was preparing
for a formal occasion or brightening Her Majesty's day with a
playful joke, Angela's priority was to serve and support. Sharing
never-before-seen photographs - many from Angela's own private
collection - and charming anecdotes of their time spent together,
this revealing book provides memorable insights into what it was
like to work closely with The Queen, to curate her wardrobe and to
discover a true and lasting connection along the way. Revised and
updated to mark The Queen's Platinum Jubilee, this special edition
of The Other Side of the Coin contains chapters covering the Royal
Household's isolation during the pandemic, Angela's own devotion to
service to keep the monarch safe, and the light and laughter that
was shared behind closed doors, even in the darkest moments.
