Journey around the world through 199 flags! This striking visual
book explores the shapes, figures, and colors of flag design.
Whether a national flag features vertical stripes or horizontal
ones, two colors or more, symbols drawn from nature or from
history-each detail of its design is intentional and loaded with
meaning. Graphic designer Orith Kolodny demystifies the recurring
colors and visual components of national flags. Through the study
of flag design, this book shows that countries with vastly
different climates and cultures often have more in common than one
might expect. This book is: * Organized by design rather than
geography * Divided into categories such as stripes, diagonal
lines, triangles, circles, crosses, and natural forms (like suns,
moons, stars, and trees) * A stylish introduction to the
iconography of independence 199 Flags explores the meaning behind
each flag in an entertaining and accessible way. Through a
captivating combination of design theory and world history, you'll
learn how to decode the symbols and interpret shapes of flags
through a designer's eye. * A perfect gift for dads, designers,
travelers, geography nerds, and history buffs * Learn about our
world in a unique way that prioritizes design and meaning over rote
memorization. * Great for fans of Logo Design Love: A Guide to
Creating Iconic Brand Identities by David Airey, The Design of
Everyday Things by Don Norman, Flags of the World by Sylvie Bednar,
and Draplin Design Co. by Aaron James Draplin
