Hand-lettered inspiration from the beloved indie artist and bestselling author of Whatever You Are, Be a Good One.

Congdon lends her signature style of brilliant hand lettering to sage advice on such subjects as perseverance (“If you fell down yesterday, stand up today” —H.G. Wells), authenticity (“What should I be but just what I am?” —Edna St. Vincent Millay), and confronting fear (“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced” —James Baldwin). Filled with uplifting reminders to seize the day, Fortune Favors the Brave demonstrates that when embarking on a new adventure, the right words of encouragement can be a priceless gift. Praise for Whatever You Are, Be a Good One “An impossibly charming compendium . . . The common thread underpinning these quotes . . . is Congdon’s own sensibility about what it means to live with kindness and integrity, to cherish beauty and the creative spirit, and ultimately to be a good human being.” —Brain Pickings “This beautifully hand-lettered book shares 100 inspirational quotations from great minds such as Oscar Wilde, George Eliot, and Walt Whitman. Revisit this colorful read whenever you need a pick-me-up—or a push—to get out there and make the most of your day.” —Real Simple

Fingerprint No. 2

Author: Design Associates Chen
Publisher: HOW Books
ISBN: 9781600618659
Category : Design
Languages : en
Pages : 224

Book Description
For many designers, creating things by hand is a reaction to too much computer-based design. Since the first Fingerprint was published, ideas that were once on the fringe have begun to thrive in the mainstream. From typography and illustration to book-making and film titles, elements of handcraft have soaked into everyday life. Fingerprint No. 2 reflects the evolution of those ideas. In this second volume, you’ll still find plenty of projects created entirely without the aid of computer technology. But you’ll also discover how designers are beginning to incorporate the two aesthetics—handmade and digital—in order to best communicate their message. A third, hybrid aesthetic is emerging, one that marries the technologies of the past and future into a vibrant, exciting present. Look inside to discover 133 projects and exclusive visual essays from leading designers, including Robynne Raye, Stefan Bucher and Christian Helms. These pieces of work prove that handmade elements are not only vital to excellent design, but often result in exceptional design. Listen for the pulse, which cannot be faked, forged, or falsified. Look for the finger print. It is the key to design’s success.
