PALETTE mini 07: Monotone


Since it was first released, the original PALETTE series has been an instrumental source of colour-themed references for designers around the world. 8 editions later, in keeping with the demands of today's creative practitioners, PALETTE mini books were introduced at the end of 2019 as flip-friendly versions of their originals - redesigned into a compact size with minimal layouts for instant inspiration. Manifesting a distinct simplicity, monochromatic hues can make a statement in the midst of all the surrounding visual noise. By consciously capitalising on a sole colour or a tonal palette, the designers in PALETTE mini 07 - Monotone have created variety out of singularity without rigour or restraint, as seen through the thoughtful formulations, materials, and techniques that bring their branding, packaging, and interior projects to life.

MORE IS MORE


Minimalist design has grown into a popular and timeless aesthetic due to its emphasis on uncluttered spaces and the exclusion of unnecessary elements, making it the perfect anecdote to the chaos of modern life. However, although it works across a variety of mediums--spanning visual identities and interiors--some may find its rigour and restraint too dull or lacking in character visually.As such, the maximalism movement has been gaining more and more momentum of late. Instead of extolling 'less is more' and paring everything down to a bare minimum, creatives are expressing themselves in bigger, bolder, and brighter ways that brim with personality. Whether it is by mixing clashing colours or matching disparate patterns and elements, 'More is More' is an ode to the fearless few who deftly break design rules and push the boundaries to make eye-catching statements.

6 Months In The Fridge

The projects presented in this book are excellent examples of how the many facets of sustainability can be applied in the field of architecture. By using the term "green" to cover them the author has attempted to highlight not only the most quantifiable factors (such as optimal energy efficiency values), but also other less tangible ones (such as architecture's respectful and harmonious integration with the natural environment and social sustainability) which are closely linked to environmental sustainability.

Tech Noir The Art of James Cameron


James Cameron has blazed a trail through the cinematic landscape with a series of groundbreaking films that have each become deeply embedded in the popular imagination. But while Cameron has created and employed advanced filmmaking technologies to realize his unique vision, his process of creative ideation began with pen, pencil and paints long before he picked up a camera. Inspired by his mother, an artist, Cameron displayed remarkable ability at an early age, filling sketchbooks with illustrations of alien creatures, faraway worlds, and technological wonders. As he grew older, his art became increasingly sophisticated, exploring major themes that would imbue his later work-from the threat of nuclear catastrophe to the dangers inherent in the development of artificial intelligence, to a fascination with ecology that would foreshadow his storied career in science and exploration. Working in the film industry in his early twenties, Cameron supported himself by illustrating theatrical posters and concept art for low-budget films before creating the visionary concept pieces that would help greenlight his first major feature, The Terminator. For the first time, Tech Noir brings together a dazzling and diverse array of personal and commercial art from Cameron's own collection, showing the trajectory of ideas which led to such modern classics as The Terminator, Aliens, Titanic and Avatar. Starting with his earliest sketches through to unrealized projects and to his later work, the book features the filmmaker's personal commentary on his creative and artistic evolution throughout the years. A unique journey into the mind of a singular creative powerhouse, Tech Noir is a true publishing event and the ultimate exploration of one of cinema's most imaginative innovators.

David Lynch :Digital Nudes


The latest volume of the polymathic filmmaker's protean nude portraiture Though he is best known as a writer and director, David Lynch has long been dedicated to photography. This volume is the second installment of Lynch's series of photographic explorations of the female figure. Digital Nudes brings together a corpus of previously unpublished digital images in line with the aesthetics of the first volume's analog photographs, while experimenting with the possibilities offered by digital technology. Kaleidoscopic visions of legs, arms or inscrutable landscapes of soft skin, chiaroscuro portraits where the stark lighting cuts across his subjects as cleanly as a knife, images of varnished nails and lacquered mouths all appear--the American filmmaker's photography embodies a style that can only be described as "Lynchian." The Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain presents this collection of images that combine the surreal and the sensual to create new, nearly uncanny interpretations of feminine beauty. David Lynch (born 1946) is the enigmatic mastermind behind some of the strangest and most beloved contemporary classics in cinema and television. His filmography includes Eraserhead (1977), Dune (1984), Blue Velvet (1986), Mulholland Drive (2001) and the cult television program Twin Peaks (1990-91), which he co-created with producer Mark Frost. He has received numerous prestigious accolades, including the Golden Lion lifetime achievement award at the Venice Film Festival in 2007. Lynch primarily lives and works in Los Angeles.
