Book Description

March 24, 2010
Pattern is everywhere. Years of minimalism have been superseded by a riot of color and shape, whether on walls, fabrics, clothes, or signage. Print & Pattern is a visual celebration of contemporary surface design.

Compiled by the creator of the cult blog of the same name (http://printpattern.blogspot.com/), this book documents the work of the best surface designers from around the world and features products that have been embellished with a surface print or pattern, including graphics, cards, gift wrap, stationery, textiles, ceramics, badges, stickers, and wallpaper.

As well as successful commercial designs, the book also showcases previously unseen pattern designs from designers' portfolios. Accessible but with a cool edge, the book will appeal to surface designers, graphic designers, designer-makers and craftspeople, illustrators, and fashion and textile designers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful August 29, 2010
Format:Paperback
Length: 0:50 Mins
The collection of prints and patterns in this book is put together by author Bowie Style, who's also the creator of the blog of the same name.

This book is as good as the website, perhaps better. All the beautiful and fun-looking artwork can now be conveniently flipped through. 120 artists are featured in this 304-page book so that's plenty of variety. You'll see a lot of creative designs that can be applied to all sort of materials and products.

I hope there will be more volumes in the future.

(There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Eye Candy! April 26, 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a great resource book for any illustrator, designer or artist. It would even be great for someone that just loves looking at great patterns and graphics. I am so happy I got my copy and I keep it right next to my desk. It is also a great way to find other artist's websites and blogs.

A big thumbs up!

5.0 out of 5 stars total eye-candy and inspiration October 26, 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Oh, how I *love* this book!

"Print & Pattern" is a beautiful, THICK (dictionary thick!) book full of large, glossy images of all sorts of patterns and motifs- everything from beautiful florals to abstracts to vintage designs to kawaii cute. Anytime I need inspiration, or just need a quick distraction and a burst of energy, I flip through this book. There is also information on each designer, including their websites, so you can see even more.

This book is an invaluable resource to me as an artist, as well as a delight to just flip through. I'm seriously tempted to buy a second copy to leave on the living room table because everyone winds up pulling it from my shelf in my studio and flipping through it. It's just beautiful.
