Dynamic Branding
In an increasingly digital world, brands are faced with the challenge of reshaping their identities in order to solidify their presence both online and offline, not to mention in a variety of other mediums. As a result, many designers and creatives have chosen to break with the notion of “never change your identity” and have opted for fluid, adaptive graphics that flexibly adapt to each platform they are placed on. Interweaving elements that span across graphics, motion, and more, Dynamic Branding showcases the best examples of graphic systems that skillfully shapeshift across mediums to bring out the best of what their brand has to offer while maintaining its integrity and core values.
Contains a curated selection of brand identities that are brilliant at adapting to the digital world.

Hokusai
The most distinguished artist of Edo-period Japan, explored like never before
At the age of six, Hokusai was said to have painted his first picture, and a year after his death aged 89, his designs for illustrated books were posthumously published. Tracing a long, prolific career, this edition spans each of the artist’s creative phases: from the actor portraits with which Hokusai started out to the 1,300 designs carried out in his final years under the name Manji.
Reproducing 746 woodblock prints, paintings, sketches, and book illustrations, many of them in granular detail, this volume is comfortably the most complete publication on perhaps Japan’s most famous artist. Hokusai’s wide appeal as the recognizable figure of Japan’s Edo period endures to this day: in March 2023, a version of his iconic woodblock print Under the Wave off Kanagawa (or The Great Wave), from his series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, was auctioned for 2.76 million US dollars.
Looking far beyond The Great Wave, this monograph features both familiar and lesser known, rarely reprinted artworks. Entitled The (almost) complete Hokusai, it offers an unmatched variety of subjects and techniques: from a landscape of the Kirifuri Waterfall to large-format maps of the Tokaido and Kisokaido roads and the Boso Peninsula; spreads of illustrated books, from his sensual, imaginative erotica (shunga) to drawing manuals such as the fifteen-volume Hokusai manga; and several depictions of animals, from his various woodblock print series on birds and flowers to his later hanging scroll paintings of ducks amidst a flowing stream and a tiger suspended in the snow.
The result of an extensive campaign of new photography, this edition has sourced images of artworks from over 100 institutions worldwide. These include museums and collections from Europe and the United States to Japan, such as the Hiei Shrine at Kisarazu, where a surviving panel painting of a boar hunt at the foot of Mount Fuji was rephotographed for this edition.
Accompanying texts by Andreas Marks place Hokusai’s works in historical context, exploring his influence on Western artists such as Degas and Gauguin despite never leaving Japan himself. Combining rigorous research on the authenticity of Hokusai’s art with extra-large reproductions, including four fold-outs, The (almost) complete Hokusai is both a visual carnival of Edo-period Japan and a significant monograph of scholarly reference.
Planeta Nippon, 2., rozšířené vydání
KAPITOLY O JAPONSKÉ VIZUÁLNÍ KULTUŘE. Japonsko už dávno nejsou jen samurajové, ikebana či haiku. Kulturu země vycházejícího slunce ve světě stejně dobře, ba možná i lépe, charakterizují slova jako manga, anime či J-pop. U nás to platí také. Japonská popkultura již není jen koníčkem úzké skupiny fanoušků, ale rozšířila se do celé společnosti. A právě pro všechny, kdo se zajímají o fascinující život na cizí planetě nazývané Nippon, je tu druhé vydání knihy, která se detailně zabývá moderní japonskou vizuální kulturou, jejím kontextem, vývojem i žhavou současností. V publikaci Planeta Nippon trojice zkušených autorů Anna Křivánková, Antonín Tesař a Karel Veselý nabízí fundovaný vhled do úžasného světa japonského komiksu, animovaných seriálů, filmů či počítačových her. Čtrnáct kapitol s bohatým obrazovým doprovodem skládá mozaiku vývoje mangy pro různé čtenářské skupiny, zabývá se fanouškovskou komunitou otaku, fenoménem roztomilosti (kawaii) nebo erotikou a pornografií. Autoři dále zkoumají, jak se v popkultuře odráží vztah Japonců k přírodě, jejich láska k robotům, nacionalismus či homosexualita. Druhé vydání nejenže vychází ve vylepšené podobě, aby i forma odpovídala obsahu, ale nabízí aktualizované texty a dvě zbrusu nové kapitoly s tématy japonské společnosti, stáří, covidové pandemie a tokijské olympiády… a především přibližující, jak se tohle všechno projevuje v popkultuře. Vydání nově doplňuje podrobný chronologický přehled a vylepšený rejstřík. Planeta Nippon je určená všem, kteří se chtějí dozvědět něco o širším kontextu a historii svého koníčku.
Zvyky, obřady a slavnosti u různých národů světa
Monumentální i bizarní, obrazová i naučná kniha nevšedního výtvarníka Miroslava Huptycha.
Stovky dobových ilustrací, více než tisíc normostran záznamů, popisů a svědectví, ale hlavně více než padesát dvoustranných autorských koláží.
Po projektu Labyrint světa a ráj srdce (oceněno Magnesií Literou za nakladatelský počin roku), je tady další ambiciózní projekt s nemenší výtvarnou, a ještě větší obsahovou hodnotou.
Po ilustrování knihy J. A. Komenského Labyrint světa a ráj srdce oceněné Magnesií Literou za nakladatelský počin roku (vydal Práh, 2019) přichází Miroslav Huptych s dalším pozoruhodným dílem. Díky své celoživotní zálibě v archivaci dobových rytin, ale také zápisků a zajímavostí z četby dal dohromady téměř tisíc normostran svědectví, více či méně věrohodných, o zvycích různých národů světa. Nejedná se o etnografický výběr, spíše o neuvěřitelně pestrou mozaiku citací, která vypovídá mimo jiné také o samotných pozorovatelích. Svědčí nejen o dávných zvyklostech, magii a archetypální moudrosti, ale často také o nebývalé krutosti a útlaku mocných. S ohledem na současný stav světa se pak dá říct, že výběr citací obnažuje temné stránky lidského chování a ukazuje, na jakých základech stojí současná civilizace.
Nechte se touto knihou inspirovat, hledejte v ní poučení a těšte se z bohatého ilustračního doprovodu, jímž autor vybraná svědectví obohatil a posunul do roviny psychologicko-magicko-umělecké.
Vladimír Boudník: Zrcadlo vnitřního života
Objevte tvůrčí sílu, která stojí za průkopnickými díly Vladimíra Boudníka. Nová monografie vyšla na jaře tohoto roku ke stému výročí narození výjimečného českého umělce, zakladatele uměleckého směru, zvaného explosionalismus. Během tří měsíců se první náklad knihy vyprodal, a nyní vychází v dotisku.
Boudník představil na sklonku padesátých let a na začátku let šedesátých své vlastní originální grafické techniky. Nazval je aktivní, symetrickou a magnetickou grafikou, a ovlivnil jimi celou následující generaci umělců, jenž na Boudníkův odkaz svým způsobem navázali, nebo se vůči němu vymezili. Přes jeho inovativní postupy, které neměly obdoby u nás ani ve světě, se Boudník stal obětí své doby, která jeho snahy nechápala, ba je zesměšňovala. I proto o něm doposud kolují nejrůznější legendy a mylné domněnky, které chystaná publikace uvádí na pravou míru.
Ačkoli patří Vladimír Boudník k našim nejuznávanějším umělcům, prakticky neexistuje literatura, která by se komplexně zabývala jeho dílem. Na rozdíl od životopisné literatury a soupisu díla, která pocházejí například od Boudníkova bývalého spolupracovníka z ČKD Ladislava Merhauta, se historička umění Eva Čapková zaměřuje na Boudníkovu cestu, která jej dovedla k vynálezu nových grafických postupů.
Autorka se také podrobně věnuje jeho mírovým provoláním a Manifestům explosionalismu, které jsou jedněmi z prvních samizdatů na našem území po roce 1948.
Součástí publikace je bohatá obrazová příloha, která kromě celé řady reprodukcí Boudníkových děl z významných institucí představuje i tisky z neznámých soukromých sbírek, které dosud nebyly publikovány. Jako taková představuje kniha Boudníkovo dílo v zatím nejucelenější podobě, zprostředkovává poznání Boudníka jako umělce světové úrovně, a poukazuje na jeho místo nejen v českých dějinách umění.
Hollywood Fashion: 100 Years of Hollywood Icons
This engaging picture-and-text book explores the art and legacy of the cinematic costume designer, starting with the birth of the modern motion picture industry on a prime piece of California real estate known as Hollywood. Readers will discover how film clothing evolved from actors selecting items from their home wardrobes… to outfits customized for their roles: Everything from suits of armour to ball gowns to office attire to lingerie, created by a studio designer and a dedicated staff of costumers. They will also encounter the actress from each decade who displayed a distinct fashion sense, on and off the screen, women who made a costumer’s job less demanding by embodying the character and evoking the time, place and circumstances the designer wishes to portray.
“Feature spreads” throughout the chronological chapters include: Style makers, offering closeup biogs of the legendary designers and showcasing their most outstanding creations; Style trends, exploring the social movements and cultural phenomena that affected movie costumes and further influenced how the world — dressed; Album of trendsetters highlighting Oscar fashions and introducing the fans’ favourite Blondes, Brunettes and Redheads; Men of the Decade shows how male actors used fashion — contemporary, historical or futuristic — to create a character or enhance ambience. Ultimately, Hollywood Fashion will leave readers with a wider understanding of film costuming and an increased appreciation for the men and women who clothed the stars — and made the spellbinding world of the Hollywood cinema memorable.

Dozvíte se vše podstatné o hvězdách jako Brad Pitt, Sharon Stone, Bruce Willis a dalších osobnostech, které svými hereckými výkony definovaly tehdejší kinematografii. Nostalgická jízda začíná – kapesníčky připravit!
Petr Parléř
Jméno Petr Parléř je v obecném povědomí neodmyslitelně spojené s osobností Karla IV. a svatovítským chrámem. Méně se už ví, že tento stavitel, kameník, sochař a řezbář byl mezi architekty středoevropské gotiky výjimečnou osobností, geniálním a odvážným novátorem. Svým dílem otevřel cestu k další, vrcholné etapě středoevropské gotické architektury, nazývané někdy dokonce podle něj parléřovskou gotikou.
Narodil se roku 1332 nebo 1333 v Gmündu nebo v Kolíně nad Rýnem. Na těchto místech tehdy působil jeho otec, stavitel Heinrich Parler z rozvětvené a slavné německé stavitelské rodiny. Český král a římský císař Karel IV. jmenoval Petra Parléře do čela stavební huti již jako třiadvacetiletého mladíka. Huť pod jeho vedením stavěla Karlův most se Staroměstskou mosteckou věží, chór kostela svatého Bartoloměje v Kolíně, části staroměstského kostela Matky Boží před Týnem a další.
Helmut Newton - Berlin, Berlin
Born in Berlin in 1920, Helmut Newton trained as a teenager with legendary photographer Yva, following her lead into the enticing pastures of fashion, portraiture and nudes. Forced to flee the Nazis aged only 18, Newton never left Berlin behind. After his career exploded in Paris in the 1960s, he returned regularly to shoot for magazines like Constanze, Adam, Vogue, Condé Nast's Traveler, ZEITmagazin, Männer Vogue, Max and the Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazin as well as his own magazine Helmut Newton's Illustrated.
In 1979, the newly relaunched German Vogue commissioned him to retrace the footsteps of his youth to capture the fashion moment. The resulting portfolio, Berlin, Berlin!, inspired the title of the exhibition which celebrates 20 years of the Helmut Newton Foundation.
This collection includes Newton's most iconic Berlin images, as well as many unknown shots from the 1930s to the 2000s: nightcrawlers in uber-cool clubs and restaurants, nude portraits in the boarding houses he knew from his youth, and the Berlin film scene, featuring Hanna Schygulla and Wim Wenders at the Berlin Wall, John Malkovich and David Bowie.
In October 2003, only months before his death, Newton moved large parts of his archive to his new foundation, housed in the Museum of Photography beside the Zoologischer Garten station-the very station from which he fled Berlin in the winter of 1938. This publication thus closes a circle in the story of his extraordinary life and work.

Pandora’s Box
AN ECONOMIST BOOK OF THE YEAR
From The Sopranos to streaming: the scandalous behind-the-screens story of the TV revolution by the author of the cult film classic Easy Riders, Raging Bulls.
The revolution has been televized. From The Sopranos to Stranger Things, the shows we watch - and the ways we watch them - have been transformed over the past fifty years. Out of the bland wasteland of 'play-it-safe' broadcasting came astonishing stories of sex, violence, and corruption shown first on cable, and then by way of streaming. Today, the power of viewers to select what they want and when they want it is greater than ever before. In short, we are living in a new golden age of television, but golden ages don't last forever. Revolutions have a habit of eating their own, and the era of 'peak TV' may have an unhappy ending.
Pandora's Box is a major new account of the small screen from cultural critic Peter Biskind. Through exclusive, candid and colourful interviews with writers, showrunners, directors and actors, Biskind brings us face to face with the people whose creations we encounter every day on our sofas, and reveals the dynamic interplay of art, commerce and technology. We follow executives down the corridors of power and see how their money and guile cultivate, then crush creativity; we witness the making - and unmaking - of TVs biggest hits. There has never been a more exciting time in entertainment history, and Peter Biskind, the ideal insider guide, captures it all.
Hokusai: A Life in Drawing (Deluxe Edition)
A deluxe large-format edition of this beautifully illustrated introduction to Katsushika Hokusai, the most prolific artist of Japan's Edo period, and master of ukiyo-e - 'images of the floating world'.
Hokusai: the blue, foam-crested wave rearing above Mount Fuji; the celebrated volcano idealized and reinvented by the artist in every nuance of view, season and painting; extraordinary bridges, the waterfalls of Japan, the contortions, costumes, gestures - the very breath of men, women, peasants, townsmen, warriors, artisans, leaping horses, birds, insects, fish, almost live on the ground on which they are painted - the countless imaginative drawings or the lively sketches done on the spot for the Manga, Hokusai's record of shapes and forms drawn from life or imagined over time. With a body of work comprising more than 30,000 drawings and paintings, Hokusai (1760-1849) was the most prolific, varied and indisputably the most creative artist of old Japan. A universal genius in everything that constituted drawing and painting in his time, he practised all genres of ukiyo-e, those 'images of the floating world', as his contemporaries liked to describe their pleasures and their daily life.
This book traces the career of this child from a working-class district of old Tokyo, then known as Edo, evoking the special atmosphere of this great city and of Japanese life, when Japan - closed to foreigners - developed in a vacuum a powerfully original culture. Hokusai became one of the great masters of the woodcut, this 'brush gone wild', as he called himself, being rediscovered by the Impressionists and aesthetes at the end of the 19th century. He remains one of the greatest and - thanks to his personality - one of the most attractive figures of world art.

Story of the Century
A colourful and concise telling of the fascinating story behind Richard Wagner's extraordinary masterpiece, Ring of the Nibelung.
The Ring is one of the most epic and compelling stories of the nineteenth century, created by a composer who was, alongside Dickens, Tolstoy and Victor-Hugo, also one of the century's master storytellers. But the story of how Wagner created the work is one full of intrigue and triumphs against unlikely odds - as well as controversy, due to the composer's anti-semitic views and popularity with the Nazi party.
In Story of the Century, Michael Downes combines cultural history and biography to offer this accessible and insightful introduction to The Ring and its mythology. He tells the story of how and why this extraordinary masterpiece came into being, why it takes the form it does, why it fascinates and obsesses so many and horrifies others, and why it matters.
Picasso - printmaker
Picasso was one of the most creative and experimental talents ever to explore the medium of print. This book charts his career as a printmaker, which was characterised by close collaboration with skilled printers, through which extraordinary artworks were produced.
Picasso was one of the most creative and experimental talents ever to explore the medium of print. This book charts his career as a printmaker, which was characterised by close collaboration with skilled printers, through which extraordinary artworks were produced.
Together with a stunning selection of works on paper by Picasso, it also includes sculptures, drawings and prints by other artists and cultures of the kind that inspired Picasso. His prints often demonstrate his keen sense of belonging to an artistic lineage stretching back to antiquity (stemming from his kinship with the Mediterranean world of his birthplace, Málaga), as well as great artists of the past such as Raphael, Rembrandt and Ingres. One section explores the contradictions and controversies relating to Picasso's relationships with his wives and lovers. The focus on Picasso as a printmaker will argue for the importance of this activity in his long artistic career, and his continued relevance as one of the most creative and experimental talents ever to explore the medium of print.
Designing Terry Pratchett’s Discworld
Designing Terry Pratchett's Discworld takes readers behind the scenes of the amazing partnership between Sir Terry Pratchett and artist Paul Kidby.
It shows how the Discworld was brought to visual life - from the earliest sketches to the final magnificent masterpieces - and how Terry and Paul absorbed influences from art and pop culture, fusing them into the Discworld landscape.
Whilst Terry was the undisputed creative fountainhead, for three decades Paul has been the artistic force taking the people, places and piece of man-eating luggage from Terry's ever-fertile imagination right into our world.
This is a unique insight into one of the great literary partnerships, packed full of hitherto unseen art and the real stories behind it.
