 Colour ManiaGreen with envy. Feeling blue. White lies. Grey areas.In every language spoken on earth human beings use colors to express themselves. World-renowned author, Vladimir Nabokov, claimed he could hear color and actually assigned a color to each letter of the alphabet based on each letter's particular sound. The Eskimos of the Polar Regions have countless words that uniquely describe the color white. In the world of graphics some designers have devoted their entire body of work to one color, sometimes showing it off in all of its full-bodied glory, sometimes stripping it back to its barest essentials. Colour Mania brings together an eclectic group of talented designers who have one thing in common: they are artists who simply can't get enough of one particular color - be that red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black or white. This book offers a depth of understanding of individual colors that is unprecedented. more astore.... (93) design directory Colour Mania > Design Books added by Levent OZLER |
