Summary:
Stickers have become an essential element of contemporary street art used by the most underground of artists. With stickers, anyone can plant their flag, gain notoriety, recognition and attain instant coverage while the action itself is inconspicuous. This book documents the best submissions from the first international sticker awards which have been established to record this constantly evolving movement. Low-tech and prepared in advance, stickers are made from a multitude of materials and techniques from hand, photocopies, posters and wheat pastes to walls. From drainpipes and crosswalk boxes to street signs and walls, stickers can be found almost anywhere at eye level on public surfaces blending into and becoming part of the streets. Motifs vary from scribbles and characters to intricate figurative images, often personal logos or tags functioning as trademarks. Stickers have created a revolution in communication – proving to be effective tools in establishing dialog, inspiring reaction and feature messages that are subversive, fun and often cryptic. This extensive volume presents over 800 examples from around the world and includes 2 pages of award winning real stickers for the reader’s enjoyment.

Summary:
The BLK/MRKT Gallery near Los Angeles is one of the most influential galleries for new contemporary art. The artists that it shows are informed by all aspects of urban contemporary culture; influences that range from design and illustration to music and street art. Its targeted and professional approach to emerging talent has rightly caught the eye of the media, the international art scene and brand managers at leading companies. This attention allows the gallery to work as a successful platform for the promotion of promising contemporary artists. BLK/MRKT TWO presents current work from a selection of artists associated with the gallery. These include David Ellis, Ian Francis, Mark Dean Veca, Lucy McLaughlan, Mel Kadel, Dave Kinsey, Mark Jenkins, Tiffany Bozic, Gregory Euclide and Ben Tour. Rich with striking images, BLK/MRKT TWO illustrates the most current forms of visual expression and trends in contemporary art. Like in the BLK/MRKT Gallery, the book also refrains from putting art on an elite pedestal and instead makes the progressive work produced at the conjunction between urban culture and creative vision accessible to all.

Summary:
In 2004, we published Sonic, our bestseller that presented visuals for music. Along with the continuing proliferation and success of MP3s and the iPod over the last three years, engaging cover and packaging design have become even more important reasons for listeners to buy music in its traditional forms. Supersonic results from and investigates these recent developments. Supersonic presents over 320 striking pages of today's best-designed music products with a focus on Independent and Alterative Rock as well as Electronica. In addition to abundant visuals, the book contains an informative foreword and features portraits of selected designers and companies, who are creating outstanding work in these musical fields. The diverse examples are structured into chapters with introductory texts that put each new subject into context for the reader. With its stunning images from today's most exciting music, Supersonic is a source of inspiration for all music insiders and the graphic artists creating music packaging and visual identities for bands. Because design for music is a field where experimental work thrives and new trends develop that go on to influence other fields, this book is also a veritable "must-have" for a general audience of creatives as well as concertgoers and gift givers.
