About this title

Synopsis

Creating effective graphic statements with a single colour offers a range of effects - from sombre and elegant to edgy and bold - with the additional (and often more important) bonus of keeping production costs down. The book includes graphic design projects of all sorts - with the obvious exception of web design - including posters, invitations, book jackets, promotional materials, logos and letterheads. All materials have been selected from a call for entries and should provide both creative inspiration and practical cost-saving ideas.

From the Back Cover

Not only is one-color design timeless, classic and visually powerful, it is also far less expensive to print than four-color design. Yet its simplicity is deceiving -- it takes real artistry and skill to effectively leverage the power of contrast.

One-Color Graphics provides a stunning gallery of inspirational one-color and black-and-white designs created by professional artists around the world. From somber and elegant to edgy and bold, these masterpieces of contrast showcase the full range of moods the artist can create by working imaginatively with a basic yet potent color scheme.

Including projects such as posters, invitations, promotional materials, logos, letterheads, and more, this beautiful book will help graphic designers of all levels harness the magic and simplicity of one color -- without breaking a client's budget.
