Summary:
The purpose and primary function of wayfinding and signage design is to provide spatial orientation as quickly and clearly as possible. Respective concepts and systems can be designed for individual buildings, for example coporate headquarters, museums or hospitals, for areas such as a university campus or distinct municipal district, or for entire systems like a city's public transport. In addition to communicating direction, the interplay of typography, pictograms, materials, colors and shapes in these systems also delineates a particular identity of the location. On the basis of international realizations this title shows the range of different approaches and implementation possibilities of environmental graphics.

Summary:
This highly visual investigation shows the complex nature and enormous impact of recent developments in our information society: a transformation produced by the irresistible combined expansion of digital technology and telecommunication networks. The urban space is a privileged laboratory for observing and experiencing the density of signs and their multiple frameworks: Signage, Giant Screens, Signboards, Flags, Poster Displays, Architecture and Advertisement, Surveillance Technologies, Tracking Devices, etc. Eric Sadin started this project during a residence in Kyoto, Japan, then enlarged the focus of the inquiry to further Asian, European, and American cities as Tokyo, Seoul, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Bombay, Paris, London, Rio de Janeiro, Mexico City, New York. The result is a fascinating visual journey in 2000 colour illustrations with explanatory captions, structured into some 100 topics and analysed in brilliant theoretical texts providing the necessary background.

Summary:
Today’s most intriguing and evocative imagery is to be found all around us, particularly on the street. In Bali, for example, the streets act as a canvas for a unique culture of images that include hand-painted advertisements, lettering and many other graphic mediums of expression. So powerful is the creativity displayed on Balinese streets that during a recent working visit to the island, Swiss artist and graphic designer Donald Neuburger, decided to dedicate a book to it. "Bali : a jungle of signs" captivates the enormous wealth of images and unique typography that exist on Bali’s city streets, especially the hand-crafted letters with their splendid cast shadows and intricate serifs. More art than advertisement these beautifully executed works provide a different perspective of the native culture of this Indonesian island popular with Western tourists and pay homage to its craftsmen.

Summary:
Holiday celebrations in the United States are a surprisingly strong force behind the country's $3 trillion retail economy. From New Year's diets to Festivus-flavoured ice cream, Presidents' Day car sales to Independence Day barbecues, Hanukkah cards to Kwanzaa candles, the social and material culture of holidays has been transformed into a finely tuned marketing extravaganza. Contemporary holiday rites showcase a particularly American obsession with celebration - and the shopping, decorating, card sending, feasting, drinking, and advertising that goes along with it. This witty and satirical look at thirty-three of our most loved (and hated) holidays explores the history and the traditions, the kitsch and the colour of the business of holidays.

Summary:
L'image d'une pomme désigne le fruit mais peut aussi, dans certains cas, évoquer une alimentation saine ou symboliser la beauté, car les signes ont le pouvoir de signifier tout autre chose que ce qu'ils semblent montrer. Leur signification dépend des éléments qui servent à les mettre en forme ainsi que du contexte dans lequel ils sont perçus. Alphabet morse, panneaux de signalisation, publicités, héraldique, musique, peinture, photographie, poésie, cinéma, design et architecture, gestes et expressions du visage, symptômes, vêtements ou rituels : les signes sont d'une extraordinaire diversité et ne cessent d'enrichir le champ des significations qui nous entourent. Massivement véhiculés par l'image, ils relèvent de la sémiotique, qui est l'étude des signes. Cet ouvrage propose un accès facile à l'univers des signes à travers soixante-seize notions présentées sous forme de questions-réponses à la manière d'un jeu avec l'auteur. Le lecteur est ainsi amené à s'interroger sur la façon dont les signes sont élaborés, interprétés et compris.
