Neubau Modul, Die Gestalten

Neubau Modul is a practical tool that provides designers with over 2,000 editable and infinitely repeatable patterns. As with Neubau Welt, all of the work shown in this book can also be found as Adobe Illustrator and bitmap files on an included DVD that can be used on any platform.

'Since the founding in 1995, Gestalten has published over two hundred and fifty books and remains on the cutting-edge of visual publishing, translating the latest developments in all aspects of visual culture both for our own title list as well as for commissioned book projects. Compiled, edited and designed by graphic designers, our experimental yet professional publications span from graphic design, illustration, typography, object design, architecture and interior design to urban and contemporary art and are available worldwide and in the world’s most important design centers through international distribution.'

HVASS&HANNIBAL

This Danish based design studio have some really nice work out there. I really like this idea, the fact that you can arrange those dividers any way you want and the room will always look different and very colourful.

Stefan Sagmeister, Things I have learned in my life so far

New York-based graphic designer Sagmeister created this book's eponymous list in his diary, including twenty statements such as: "Trying to Look Good Limits My Life," "Assuming is Stifling" and "Worry Solves Nothing." These "maxims," which Sagmeister admits verge on the "banal" but which are also devoid of cynicism, were transformed into art projects: "Assuming is Stifling" graced the cover of a Japanese annual report; "Everybody Always Thinks They are Right" was represented by six 33-foot white inflatable monkeys, each one displaying a different word. This "design book for non-designers" is itself an experiment in form, comprised of 15 booklets in a box whose cover is a cut out of Sagmeister's face; when inserted, each completes the portrait in a different way.

1st placement: Zitromat

Really nice work

Tabrez

Really nice project and the link shows the stages as the piece got passed from one designer to another.

At this Rate

Matt Willey from Studio 8 design has designed this book. He used the leafs to represent the map of the rainforest and to raise awareness of deforestation that occurs at a rate of one football pitch a second. I think it is a very clever campaign and visually very stimulating!
