Advertising Now! TV commercial Julius Wiedemann (Editor)
Taschen 3822840297 / 9783822840290 Mixed Media New
From Apple and Audi to public awareness, the very best of today's television ads Though most of us change the channel or make a trip to the bathroom during commercial breaks, there are actually ads out there that are more like thought-provoking short films than the pushy, one-dimensional, in-your-face ads we know and hate. Whether it's an ad for the latest Nike sneaker or to raise awareness about the hazards of speeding, a commercial has lot to communicate in under a minute, and it takes the sharpest creative minds to figure out how to execute ads that are entertaining and even eye opening while getting the message across. This guide rounds up the best commercials of recent years. Chapters are organized by subject, such as socio-political, food and beverage, cars, technology, and media, and individual entries include screenshots, art director briefings, pre-production material (such as sketches and storyboards), and a fact sheet listing technical details. This book is a must-have not only for creative professionals, but also for anyone who's interested in inventive commercials and what goes into making them. All ads featured in the book are on the included DVD.

Wolfgang 1929133863 / 9781929133864 Paperback New
Airbrush Bible offers something for anyone interested in the art of airbrushing. Whether your goal is reality flames on a motorcycle tank, or a three-dimensional eagle in mid-pounce, this new book from Wolfgang Publications offers how-to sequences done with some of the best names in airbrushing. To teach skulls, there's Vince Goodeve. For Pin-ups, Tom Nguyen walks the reader through a 20 page start-to-finish sequence. For reality flames with extra punch, Steve Wizard takes the stage, explaining both the colors and the sequencing. Airbrush Bible also offers help spraying on various substrate with different media. T-Shirt artists will find advice on the best paint to use, and how to give the image longevity. Anyone working with hot rods and motorcycles needs to know how much to over-reduce urethane-based paints. Hobby painters need to understand acrylic paints, as well as the new water-borne colors. Each chapter is a one-on-one seminar that takes the reader from the first sketch to the finished product. Leah Gall explains all the basic strokes needed to create nearly any image, and Susan Heidi demonstrates how multiple, thin layers of transparent paint create believable skin tones and a life-like effect. In total, Airbrush Bible provides the reader with fourteen chapters, each one offering a complete painting sequence and an interview with the artist. Learn first hand why one artist uses watercolors while another prefers acrylic paints. Or why some artists never use the color black, and instead prefer a dark purple or violet. This new book from Wolfgang Publications is a compendium of subjects, paints and techniques; Airbrush Bible is the one how-to book any airbrush artist needs on his or her shelf.

Anatomy Of Sorrow Daniel Martin Diaz
LaLuz de Jesus 0867197684 / 9780867197686 Hardcover New
Anatomy of Sorrow is the latest monograph by prolific and influential artist Daniel Martin Díaz, exploring a new depth of symbolism, mysticism and surreal iconography depicted in paintings, drawing, and prints. Drawing from old masters Jan van Eyck, Pieter Bruegel, and Hieronymous Bosch, both in subject matter and in the ancient egg tempera and resin oil painting technique, the works of self-taught artist and classically trained composer Daniel Martin Díaz possess a sincerity that foregrounds his deep devotion to revealing a higher meaning through painstaking craftsmanship. Through his application of a limited palette on distressed wood, his handmade wooden frames, and his expressive use of Latin text, Díaz's images thrust us into another time and place.

Art Of Classic Rock: Rock Memorabilia, Tour Posters And Merchandise Paul Grushkin, Alice Cooper, Elton John
Harper Design 006199099X / 9780061990991 Hardcover New
For forty years, collector Rob Roth has gathered rare examples of rock tour posters, advertising posters, rock memorabilia, original artwork and items of merchandise. His spectacular collection is so vast that it has never all been put on public display, but when visitors to his spacious New York loft apartment--visitors like Elton John and Alice Cooper--caught a glimpse of some of the material Roth has collected over the years, they were amazed and urged him to let rock fans see the dazzling array of artifacts. When designer John Varvatos saw the collection, he was so stunned by it that he begged Roth to lend him pieces for his new store in Las Vegas. More of Roth's pieces will be on display in the Varvatos Soho store and other upcoming locations in the fall of 2010. Varvatos has even offered to host a launch party in the Soho store for the book at its time of publication. For many, the items lovingly cataloged in the pages of "The Art of Classic Rock" will evoke nostalgic memories of their youth--of blazing lights, drifting smoke and of the all-pervading power of their favorite rock concerts. Unlike anything else on the market, "The Art of Classic Rock" is a lavishly produced presentation of the most vivid and exciting artwork from the rock world, as well as a guide to understanding the the most influential rock banks of our time. Each section of "The Art of Classic Rock" focuses on a well-known band, covering its defining tours and albums to show how the band's iconic designs and graphic styles changed, and to provide an overview of rock history from the period. An introduction to each section puts the images in context, outlining the stage the band and its acts had reached in their development when the particular images and designs displayed were used, and discussing the art and artists behind the work. Each piece of art also features a caption describing exactly what it is, while items with a particular story are accompanied by longer, more detailed text. The Rob Roth collection has been meticulously photographed specifically for this book by photographer Richard Marot who spent hundreds of hours working with a team of technicians to ensure that the images appearing in "The Art of Classic Rock" are a sumptuous and accurate representation of the truly stunning Rob Roth Collection.

Dark Inspiration Viction:Ary
Viction:Ary 9881943817 / 9789881943811 Hardcover New
The depiction of rage, suffering, gloom, depravity, and the supernatural in illustration and design is often seen as unsettling and offensive, but often these disturbing images elaborate the wildest dreams and subconscious desires of humans in richer form than any text analysis. Not necessarily conflicting with the belief in a heavenly world, Dark Inspiration invites viewers to redefine the horizons for beauty and morality and savor the exquisite genre with a dramatic and bold compilation of artwork that touches the taboo areas of sex, death, destruction, perversion, and crime. This title features everything from macabre 3-D wall reliefs to hand-drawn illustration. Contributors include Audrey Kawasaki, Aya Kato, Vania, Bruno 9li, Elizabeth McGrath, John Solis, and Richard Colman.

Discrepancies Alex Gross
Gingko Press 1584234261 / 9781584234265 Hardcover New
Frederick Douglass, a Centaur, serpents, Christ, and an assortment of mythical beasts are just some of the characters that appear within the world of Alex Gross's lush, incongruous paintings in Discrepancies. Historical figures coexist with fashionable men and women, often on their cell phones, and frequently set in landscapes that simultaneously invoke both Gothic Flemish Art and the metropolitan, billboard-infested urban advertising that we find inescapable in our world today. Gross's highly involved, figurative oil paintings defy categorization: his unusual hybrids, for all their dreamlike mystery, powerfully convey universal themes such as Love and Despair, Globalization and Consumerism, Communication and the lack of it. This slim, oversized edition catalogs the best of his groundbreaking work over the last four years, including several pieces from his Autumn 2010 exhibition at the Jonathan Levine Gallery in New York.

Faces Glenn Barr
Last Gasp 0867197676 / 9780867197679 Hardcover New

Inspired by the complex expressions and raw emotions revealed by faces, Barr invokes the human condition, creating a multitude of personalities ranging from extraordinarily common to extreme and fantastic.

Expressed in the intricate details of each image, Barr presents a delicate mix of texture, color and line typical of his loose but carefully executed style.
