From the Publisher;
Scanning the world for the best new graphic design talent, Michael Dorrian and Liz Farrelly have collated the work of 100 new designers, from Sao Paulo to Tokyo, Melbourne to Los Angeles, into a book that will both inspire and impress. The book focuses on practitioners still in the first decade of their career either working alone or teamed up into small companies, showcasing projects, aesthetics, and methodologies that push boundaries and redefine working practices. As well as pinpointing the best new talent worldwide, this visually stunning survey provides a showcase of cutting-edge imagery for a student and professional audience.

Thanks to affordable technology and up-for-it, media-savvy clients, a huge number of designers set themselves up in their own studios, straight from college. The kind of work that results is often fast, furious, rule-breaking, and inspirational. These designers are also characterized by their love of their locale, along with nomadic tendencies and a “small is beautiful” attitude. Full biographies and contact details are provided for each designer/studio.

Packed with inspiration, this is the ultimate business card book, bringing together 300 of the best examples of cards by and for designers and creative companies around the world. Business cards are a major design challenge; creating successful cards is all about the clever use of space. Grouped according to aesthetic approach, the cards featured in the book address design issues such as the need to make a splash, stand out from the crowd or differentiate members of a team. Some cards are designed to function as portfolios or to express in miniature the holder/’/s preferred aesthetic or personal worldview; some are elaborately designed, others are intended to be personalized with handwriting or stickers.

Details: Metalheart is a book about the passion of digital design and the remarkable power of the pixel. It started as a project in 1998 when Swedish designers Andreas Lindholm and Anders F. Rönnblom sent the emBOXX/Brainreactor Prototype CD containing fonts and 3D typefaces to a selection of designers for digital experimentation. They asked the designers to use and abuse their alphabets and send them back artworks for publication in this book. Response was slow at first but after Andreas’ spectacular graphics were published in EFX Art & Design magazine they started to receive some fantastically innovative files. Metalheart is an explosive collection of shapes, shadows and colors that could not have been created without the aid of digital software.
