Shop Image Graphics in NYFood, Fashion, Living

New York City has been at the forefront of new trend in art and design and it is a place where artists and creatives from around the world gather. Many shops in NY like an artistic boutique, an organic cosmetic store, a contem-porary café, etc., are full of cutting-edge original designs. In the wake of the tragedy and with the economic downturn, with little in the way of news that’s cheery, people’s values have changed. There has been a growing trend toward buying things that are truly good, and only as need-ed. Natural products, environmentally-friendly packaging, making use of the internet in an attempt to go paperless, service and store policies also appear to be pivotal to generating positive feelings in customers.

Loosely grouped under the three cate-gories of food, fashion and living, this book introduces retailers who have successfully created unified images that ex tend f rom store inter ior to graphic communications, such as shop cards, f lyers, direct mails, menus, shopping bags and more. The distinc-tive and sophisticated shop-making examples in this book must be the good resources not only for graphic designers but also for shop owners.

Maija Isola (1927–2001) was the first full-time designer hired by Marimekko. Her most famous print, Unikko, has become the most recognizable icon of the Marimekko Company. Her early work was inspired by nature, and her first prints were created through a pho-tographic process whereby actual plants were projected onto a screen. As she matured, her designs became bolder and less detailed, containing large areas of color. Her travels also played a role in her designs; she spent time in Yugoslavia, Italy and Algeria, incorpo-rating stylistic elements from these varied cultures. These experiences gave her a vast palette from which to draw, and this range is clearly evident in her far-ranging designs. Most of the contents of this book are her textile works but also her lifestyle is featured. This is a valuable title for all sort of designers, textile lovers, those who are interested in Northern European designs, and by all means for Marimekko fans all over the world.
