多位巴黎手作创意人专为这本书提供了原创手工作品的制作方法及步骤，将私房小店与读者亲密分享。 这本书里的创意人，多有颇具规模的工作室或创意店铺，甚至许多世界名牌都是他们的客户。这些创意人的生活或工作空间，都非常精彩，浪漫不甘寂寞的巴黎人喜欢绚烂丰富的色彩，但不同艳丽色彩齐聚一个空间却不觉庸俗，只有“乱花渐欲迷人眼”般仿佛来自大自然的明媚之感。每个创意人的简介和空间展示之后，附有他们教给读者做的一个小玩意，看上去可行性强，做出来效果也好，颇有让人想尝试的冲动。 书中同时收录巴黎最具创造力的设计师们爱逛的咖啡厅、餐厅、设计精品店等等这类流行店面的信息。

Ever since the creation of the first Penguin paperbacks in 1935, their jackets have become a constantly evolving part of Britain's culture and design history. Rich with stunning illustrations and filled with detail of individual titles, designers and even the changing size and shape of the Penguin logo itself, this book shows how covers become design classics. By looking back at seventy years of Penguin paperbacks, Phil Baines charts the development of British publishing, book cover design and the role of artists and designers in creating and defining the Penguin look.Coupling indepth analysis of designers - from Jan Tschichold to Romek Marber - with a wide-ranging look at the range of series and titles published - from early Penguins and Pelicans, to wartime Specials, fiction and reference, this is a distinctive picture of how Penguin has consistently established its identity through its covers, influenced by - and influencing - the wider development of graphic design and the changing fashions in typography, photography, illustration or printing techniques. Filled with inspiring images, "Penguin by Design" demonstrates just how difficult it is not to judge a book by its cover.

Typography today exists in conflict with classical font design and contemporary influences such as analogue distortion, screen applications, street culture, deconstruction, hand lettering and illustrative letter forms. Type One not only presents an overview of the diversity in current typography, but also reveals where conventions have become established and where valid new approaches exist. In addition to a rich selection of typefaces and their applications, the book features articles by and interviews with international experts such as Jean François Rappot, House Industries’ Andy Cruz and Ken Barber, Norm and Professor Tanja Diezmann. Topics range from the democratization of the font creation process by the computer to how much existing approaches are based on the same fonts. These texts are edited and commented by Silja Bilz, former project and product manager for Corporate Type at the renowned Linotype Library. While Type One provides practical context and examples, it also investigates the experimental and inspirational side of font design. This combination makes the book an essential resource for anyone seeking an up to date exploration and understanding of typography.
