Outsize graphics are now more than ever part of the environment. From the period adverts painted on the long-concealed sides of buildings to the latest in state-of-the-art high-tech digital building cladding, this volume explores in detail the concept, design and application of large scale graphics. The book features the work of well-known designers from around the world and fully investigates the issues surrounding large-scale graphic design, from exterior navigation and corporate identity to avoidable pitfalls such as visual pollution. On a practical note, it provides helpful design hints, ranging from the distances from which certain type sizes are visible, to applying graphics on different substrates such as brick, glass or the body of a bus.

Outsize is the book for graphic designers needing to make their client's message stand out, but it is also of obvious appeal to those interested in the subject who can learn from the techniques of large scale design. Large scale graphics are strongly influenced by their context - where they're placed, how they interact with those who will view them, how suitable they are for the environment. The book explores and explains these factors so the designer's work will have far greater effect. It guides the reader through the potential pitfalls and hazards of using non-standard substrates such as brick glass or vinyls, and highlights issues of weatherproofing and structural properties. It also contains handy hints on managing the process, as well as collaborations with those in related fields such as product designers, sign painters, engineers and architects with its huge global range of contemporary examples. Outsize is both inspiration and information for 2-D and 3-D designers in all disciplines. 1120 gr. Libro. Seller Inventory # 9782880467029LEA36152
