Maximalism - Now available for the first time in paperback, the best-selling Maximalism celebrates richness and excess in graphic design. This sumptuously extravagant book examines design that appeals to the senses through luxury, profusion, and excess--maximalism. After a decade in which minimalism has held sway over the design industry, many designers are now rejecting the limitations of pared-down modernism in favor of a more rich and vibrant "maximal" aesthetic. This book celebrates the qualities of maximalism, or ¿enriched modernism¿--its role in creating fantasy, a sense of luxury, the multi-sensory appeal--and teaches designers how to apply it by bringing together a selection of projects from around the world that typify maximalism in graphic design--whether through use of materials, print processes, layout and composition, or sheer extravagance of purpose.
