Synopsis
Rich, stimulating, and varied creative sourcebook with a wealth of material for designers
The latest in the highly collectable Communicating with Pattern series, Signs and Symbols showcases stunning examples of designs that incorporate all manner of signs, symbols, and glyphs, explaining how they can be used in contemporary design to communicate a variety of messages and influences.
Signs and Symbols explores the meaning and origin of these familiar forms, starting with the earliest graphics known to man: cave paintings and hieroglyphics. Corporate logos, club motifs, coats of arms, political insignia, and religions symbols represent authority and membership. They are also an essential part of daily life, in the form of wayfinding tools such as road signs, alphabets, icons, and signage.
This book is a source of inspiration for designers across disciplines using examples of graphics, packaging, interiors, textiles, products, and more.

Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
