Alexander Tibelius

With this toolbox of practical logo templates a la Neubau Welt, Alexander Tibelius provides designers with useful groundwork for implementing their own ideas. All designers are familiar with this problem: one element is still missing and a deadline is fast approaching. They can imagine the suitable component, but since it isn't at hand, it first has to be created in a time-consuming process. What could help simplify and shorten typical design processes? Which tools would one always like to have available? With his 900+ templates for contemporary graphic and logo design, Alexander Tibelius provides designers with the right basic materials for further processing and tuning. Thanks to The Logo Design Toolbox, no one has to reinvent the wheel --or almost anything else for that matter. The book provides a variety of designs for items from wheels, sashes, laurel wreaths, and crowns to anchors, beards, and pirate skulls, along with multiple renditions of letters, triangles, stars, ornaments, and speech bubbles. Everything pictured in Tibelius's book is, of course, also available as a scalable and customizable vector file. Comparable to popular Gestalten publications such as Neubau Welt or Carsten nicolai's Grid Index, this clearly structured toolbox provides designers with some of the most used, recurring elements, symbols, and motifs in logo and layout design in all of their conceivable permutations. These can be used by amateurs and professionals alike as a time-saving basis for creating their own cards, flyers, posters, websites, presentations, logos, or t-shirts. In short, the multifaceted compendium The Logo Design Toolbox will serve any graphic designer as a practical helper for producing specific, goal-oriented results.

The Map Design Toolbox offers visual inspiration and all of the essential tools for getting high-quality results quickly that are right on target It compiles more than 200 maps, basic elements for creating maps and legends, and thematic sets of icons and other illustrative components. Everything that is shown in the print version is available on the included DVD as a vector file that can be digitally reworked as needed. From Argentina to Zimbabwe, from geographically-themed graphics to icons representing industry and trade, from atmospherically retro to painstakingly detailed, The Map Design Toolbox contains a full spectrum of helpful design tools for creating any and every type of map. As in his previous title The Logo Design Toolbox, Alexander Tibelius again provides designers with a clearly structured book that gives them practical tools for creating graphics both efficiently and successfully.
