První svazek nové vizuálně zaměřené edice se zaměřuje na hledání vztahů mezi stereotypy ve vysoké i masové vizuální kultuře. Cílem této knihy je nabídnout čerstvý a provokativní pohled na současnou vizuální kulturu, zpochybňující zažité každodenní zvyklosti formované masmediálními konvencemi. Její autor se zde pokouší srozumitelně popsat fungování těchto populárních stereotypů, k čemuž využívá podněty nejen z oblasti tradičních dějin umění ale také filosofie, sociologie či teorie obrazu a vnímání. Když k tomu připočteme pobaveně ironickou perspektivu, vzdálenou tradiční vědecké suchosti, máme před sebou ve výsledku text, který je stejnou měrou osvobozující jako zábavný, spojující akt kulturní kritiky i čistě voyeurského potěšení z dívání se.

Prvý diel z plánovaného cyklu Ľubomíra Longauera Úžitková grafika na Slovensku po roku 1918 nesie názov Modernosť tradície. Autor sa venuje začiatkom slovenskej úžitkovej grafiky. Po pomalom rozbehu došlo k nebývalému rozmachu slovenského kultúrneho života. Koncom dvadsiatych rokov sa výraznejšie presadili Martin Benka, Andrej Kováčik, Jaroslav Vodrážka, Karol Ondreička, Jozef Cincík, Štefan Bednár a koncom tridsiatych rokov Rudolf Fabry. Každý z nich má v knihe svoj medailón, ktorý predstavuje umelcovu tvorbu počas celého jeho života. Okrem toho sú v knihe kapitoly, ktoré sa zaoberajú celkovou situáciou v slovenskej úžitkovej grafike v rokoch 1918 až 1938. Publikácia je bohato ilustrovaná stovkami dobových prác, z ktorých väčšina patrí medzi zabudnuté a v tomto rozsahu a kontexte ešte nebola publikovaná.

'Art is continually haunted by the animal', wrote Deleuze and Guattari. Over the past two decades, animals have quite literally invaded the gallery space, from Joseph Beuys' co-habiting with a coyote, Janis Kounelli's instillation of live horses, Damien Hirst's shark in formaldehyde to Mark Dion's natural history displays and Marco Evaristti's 'goldfish in a blender'. In this latest addition to the highly acclaimed 'Art and...' series, Giovanni Aloi surveys the insistent presence of animals in the world of contemporary art, exploring the leading concepts which inform this emerging practice. From exhibitions featuring live animals, to taxidermy, and interspecies communication, Giovanni Aloi explores how animals feature in modern art with a range of thought-provoking and innovative visual representations. Art and Animals challenges ideas of identity, 'otherness' and civilisation by explaining the role animals have occupied in our cultural development and illustrating their presence in the visual arts today.

No single living artist has created as many myths, rumours and legends as Banksy. Many of the tales in this book are from Bristol, some are from further afield. What they share is that they are all told with the wide eyed wonder which Banksy inspires. Collated between 2009 and 2011 some of these stories are quite old and have been told so many times they have become the stuff of legend, others are more questionable and best described as myths. Some are laugh out loud bollocks and others are simply gossip. You be the judge.

The use of color, in any artistic discipline, is one of the most complex tasks, as it not only serves a decorative purpose, it is also used to convey an intention and certain aesthetic effects. In addition, there is the psychological factor, considering that a color and even shades of a color, can trigger certain feelings and this can have a dcisive impact on how a person perceives a space of object.

Connections and clashes between new and old media, as told by interviewees ranging from the founder of Twitter to the publisher of the New York Times. Mainstream media, often known simply as MSM, have not yet disappeared in a digital takeover of the media landscape. But the long-dominant MSM?television, radio, newspapers, magazines, and books?have had to respond to emergent digital media. Newspapers have interactive Web sites; television broadcasts over the Internet; books are published in both electronic and print editions. In Designing Media, design guru Bill Moggridge examines connections and conflicts between old and new media, describing how the MSM have changed and how new patterns of media consumption are emerging. The book features interviews with thirty-seven significant figures in both traditional and new forms of mass communication; interviewees range from the publisher of the New York Times to the founder of Twitter. We learn about innovations in media that rely on contributions from a crowd (or a community), as told by Wikipedia's Jimmy Wales and Craigslist's Craig Newmark; how the band OK Go built a following using YouTube; how real-time connections between dispatchers and couriers inspired Twitter; how a BusinessWeek blog became a quarterly printed supplement to the magazine; and how e-readers have evolved from Rocket eBook to QUE. Ira Glass compares the intimacy of radio to that of the Internet; the producer of PBS's Frontline supports the program's investigative journalism by putting documentation of its findings online; and the developers of Google's Trendalyzer software describe its beginnings as animations that accompanied lectures about social and economic development in rural Africa. At the end of each chapter, Moggridge comments on the implications for designing media. Designing Media is illustrated with hundreds of images, with color throughout. A DVD accompanying the book includes excerpts from all of the interviews, and the material can be browsed at www.designing-media.com. Interviews with: Chris Anderson, Rich Archuleta, Blixa Bargeld, Colin Callender, Fred Deakin, Martin Eberhard, David Fanning, Jane Friedman, Mark Gerzon, Ira Glass, Nat Hunter, Chad Hurley, Joel Hyatt, Alex Juhasz, Jorge Just, Alex MacLean, Bob Mason, Roger McNamee, Jeremy Merle, Craig Newmark, Bruce Nussbaum, Alice Rawsthorn, Anna Rosling Rönnlund, Hans Rosling, Ola Rosling, Paul Saffo, Jesse Scanlon, DJ Spooky, Neil Stevenson, Arthur Sulzberger Jr., Shinichi Takemura, James Truman, Jimmy Wales, Tim Westergren, Ev Williams, Erin Zhu, Mark Zuckerberg

Autorka tejto knihy si kladie za cieľ jasne sformulovať, usporiadať a rozčleniť veľké množstvo zložitých problémov, na ktoré narazí každý grafický dizajnér v snahe úspešne a efektívne používať typografické postupy a metódy, ale zároveň nechce tieto otázky príliš zjednodušovať. Kniha je určená pre dizajnérov všetkých médií, v ktorých hrá väčšiu či menšiu rolu písmo. Ak chce dizajnér do hĺbky porozumieť tvarom písmen a vedieť ich efektívne používať pri svojej práci, nezostáva mu nič iné, než neustále experimentovať a všetko pozorovať. V priebehu niekoľko-ročnej praxe i štúdia sa totiž jeho pohľad do problematiky i jeho znalosti vyvíjajú a menia. Kniha bola napísaná pre dizajnérov snažiacich sa prehĺbiť svoju odbornú typografickú spôsobilosť a s úmyslom uľahčiť im cestu vpred. Je usporiadaná a rozvrhnutá tak, aby bol celý proces nielen zábavný, ale i náučný. Kniha je rozdelená do štyroch častí: Písmeno, Slovo, Odstavec a Stránka. Každý z princípov je doplnený vysvetľujúcim textom a obohatený o príklady použitia v praxi.
