N° 20: The story of 30 inspiring Indie Brands

Indie Brands

30 independent brands that inspire and tell a story

New brands are created every day and everywhere around the globe, but only a few succeed in finding a place in consumers’ minds and hearts. These successful brands often have a story to tell; many are authentic and innovative. IKEA, Apple, Google, Innocent, Tiger beer, Starbucks: all are great brands with great brand stories. But what makes a good independent brand? And what are the independent brands of tomorrow? What does an indie brand look like? And can an independently founded brand ever go mainstream without selling out?

This book delves into the world of indie brands: brands that are driven by entrepreneurs and creative people who are independent, who have a unique story to tell that is an intricate part of the brand. These cutting-edge indie brand developers have great brand design, smart marketing and an innovative approach, in the sense that they are genuinely new or are reinventing a familiar product or service in an entirely new way.
Besides a short interview with the founder or creator of the brands, the book also shows the workspace where the brand is created and the things these creative entrepreneurs surround themselves with. The visual manifestations of the brand are naturally also included, such as packaging, communication materials and other visual eye candy.

N° 18: Street Style Memory Game I + II

Street Style Memory Game

This new Memory Game challenges players to find combinations of young people with special characteristics and street-style clothing. These are beautiful photographs of people from all nationalities, photographed in the streets of Amsterdam during 2009. For the game, the pictures have been cut in two. Based on their clothing, their attitudes and backgrounds of the people in the photographs, players can join the slightly enlarged faces with the rest of the bodies. Pairing off the sections is great fun, an excellent game for children and for anyone who is interested in street fashion or in search of a trendy gift.
The photography is by Barbara Iweins, a Belgian photographer who lives in Brussels and Amsterdam.

Street Style II

A completely new version!

This a completely new version of our bestselling Street Style Memory Game by Barbara Iweins. Now you can play with new street styles and iconic people from all corners of the globe, all photographed on the streets of Amsterdam.
We will keep both versions in print, so you can even mix them if you like to make the game more daring. Street Style Memory Game sold over 10.000 copies to date and is loved by the international fashion and style press.

Forget the old school memory games in which you had to match flowers, animals or Disney characters and discover the creative BIS Memory Games and learn to become in this case a Vogueista by matching the right styles and fashion details to recreate the international street style heroes who roam the streets of Amsterdam.

Based on the blog phenomenon of the same name, this book celebrates dads as the original hipsters. Vintage photos of real dads back in the day—in their short shorts and tight tees playing arcade games—accompany snarky captions that at once tip a cap to Dad’s glory days and poke fun at modern hipsters. Featuring tons of never-before-seen content, this is the perfect gift for dads, hipsters, and those who love to tease them!

Never Use More Than Two Different Typefaces

And 50 other Ridiculous Typography Rules

This is the fifth book in the Ridiculous Design Rules series by Anneloes van Gaalen. This new publication is about ridiculous "or not?" rules in typography, a joy for graphic designers and everyone who has anything to do with designing texts. Like no other, this is a world that is held together by rules, which designers, of course, often take great delight in breaking.
In this series, ‘ridiculous’ is a relative term, because what is nonsense for one can be an important guideline for another. In these pleasing and educational books, it is not about laying down the law. For each of the 51 rules covered in each book, Van Gaalen refers to quotes by famous fellow designers, who either think there is something to the rule or have made a personal variation of it. Whether you agree with them or not, the Ridiculous Design books sharpen your own thoughts about the rules and the assumed truths of design, advertising, fashion, photography and the Internet.

Each rule is convincingly illustrated, with the illustrations either confirming or disproving the rule in question.

Never Use White Type…

on a Black Background

The world of fashion and design is inundated with a seemingly endless list of rules. Think of “Less is More,” “Form Follows Function,” “Keep it Simple,” “Dress Your Age,” and the list goes on and on. They’re familiar sayings that some designers consider to be valuable words of wisdom, which serve as a guiding line and source of inspiration. To others, these rules are mere restrictions: design dogmas and fashion formulae that need to be bended, twisted or broken altogether.

Rules tend to have a life of their own: over time their meaning changes or the rule is adopted by a whole new group of followers. Take, for instance, the classic “Form Follows Function.” It started out life as an architecture guideline but has crept its way into other creative fields. This evolution is reflected in this book by the chronologically placed quotes that accompany each rule and that are courtesy of designers, architects, fashion designers, typographers and other creatives. All rules are also accompanied by an image that either negates or supports the rule. Our aim is not to list all the rules that you need to adhere to. Nor do we take sides in the whole rules debate. Granted, creativity knows no bounds and therefore it seems rather ridiculous to restrict that creativity by sticking to a couple of age-old rules. However, in some cases the rules seems more like the basic principles that every designer should love, honor and obey. 

Whichever side of the fence you yourself are sitting on in the rules debate, you’re bound to find this book a source of inspiration, comfort, joy or just good old fun. Enjoy.

Never Leave the House Naked

and 50 other Ridiculous Fashion Rules

The international fashion police is a force to be reckoned with. Armed with a seemingly endless list of rules, it dictates all the do’s and don’ts and acts as judge and jury in dealing with those guilty of committing a fashion faux-pas. But while some of the rules that are enforced by the fashion-conscious are nothing short of ridiculous, others serve more as words of wisdom that can prevent people from committing a crime against fashion. This book contains fifty-one rules like “Dress Your Age", "When in Doubt Wear Red", "Shoes and Bags Must Always Match” and “Never Wear Tights with Open-toed Shoes”, which can be twisted, broken or ignored altogether. Our aim is not to list all the rules that you need to adhere to. Nor do we take sides in the whole rules debate. After all, creativity knows no bounds and therefore it seems rather ridiculous to restrict that creativity by sticking to a couple of age-old rules. However, in some cases the rules seem more like the basic principles of dress that should be loved, honored and obeyed. Rest assured that whichever side of the fence you sit on in this whole fashion rules debate, you’re bound to find this book a source of inspiration, comfort or joy.

Not only is Kirk Hammett the lead guitarist for Metallica, one of the most successful heavy metal bands of all time, but he’s also the curator of one of the world’s finest collections of monster-movie memorabilia, a collection few people have ever seen. In Too Much Horror Business, Kirk finally unveils his near-mythical treasure trove of rare posters, props, costumes, and toys from the early silent classics to more modern fare. From Bela Lugosi’s annotated Dracula script to the creepy Donnie Darko bunny suit to cool model kits from the 1960s, Hammett has amassed hundreds of items over the years, including priceless international collectibles as well as the quirkier toys of his youth. Alongside scores of full-color, original photographs in this highly designed volume, Kirk offers up thoughts about his appreciation for all things scary and fantastic, shedding light on not only the collection of a lifetime, but the man himself.

N° 09: Illustrierte Kochbücher mit Rezepten aus Italien und Fernost

Kochbücher vom Verlag JACOBY STUART

Das Japan-Kochbuch

Nirgendwo auf der Welt werden die Menschen so alt wie in Japan, und es gilt als erwiesen, dass dies mit der abwechslungs- und vitaminreichen Ernährung zu tun hat. In Japan kocht man fast ausschließlich mit frischen, saisonalen Zutaten und mit viel Gemüse und Fisch. Das macht diese Küche so interessant für alle, die auf eine gesunde Ernährung Wert legen und sich und anderen nichtsdestoweniger gern mal etwas Besonderes gönnen möchten.

Die japanische Küche hat nicht nur Sushi zu bieten, sondern auch so tolle Gerichte wie Wintermelonen-Suppe, Auberginensalat mit Sesam-Sojasauce oder gefüllten Tintenfisch. Kenichi Kusano hat in diesem Buch typische japanische Alltags- und Festtagsrezepte versammelt – allesamt erprobte Familienrezepte, die einfach nachzukochen sind. Außerdem erzählt er lehrreiche und kuriose Geschichten von den kulinarischen Besonderheiten Japans, wie etwa der Tradition der Nagashi-Soumen, der »wasserfallenden Fadennudeln«, die über eine Rutsche aus Bambusstangen auf den Teller gelangen. Die herrlich verträumten und idyllischen Bilder von Tian Tang, in denen sich traditionelle und moderne asiatische Illustrationskunst vermischen, ergänzen das kulinarische Fest um einen Augenschmaus. 

La cucina verde

Die italienische Küche ist gerade für Gemüseliebhaber ein wahres Schlaraffenland. Carlo Bernasconis ausgesuchte Rezeptkreationen, die oft auf Erinnerungen an die Küchentradition seiner italienischen Familie zurückgehen, gepaart mit Larissa Bertonascos farbenfrohen Illustrationen, machen dieses Buch zu einer genussreichen Reise durch den italienischen Gemüsegarten.

Im sonnenverwöhnten Italien gedeihen rund ums Jahr zahllose Gemüsesorten, die von Bozen bis Palermo auf vielfältige Weise zubereitet werden. Von Artischocke bis Zucchini hat Carlo Bernasconi insgesamt achtzehn Gemüsesorten ausgewählt, mit denen in Italien gern gekocht wird. Er erklärt die Bedeutung und Verwendung der einzelnen Gemüse und lässt dabei auch persönliche Erinnerungen an die Küche seiner Nonna und seiner Mamma einfließen.

Die sinnlichen Illustrationen von Larissa Bertonasco fangen den bunten Reigen der Gemüsesorten ein und wecken Italien-Sehnsüchte. Vor das Kochen und Schmausen hat sie den Augenschmaus gesetzt.

Das Korea-Kochbuch

Drei Koreanerinnen haben ihre Lieblingsgerichte zusammengestellt und sich an kulinarische Erlebnisse in Korea erinnert. In munteren, sehr atmosphärischen Texten erzählen sie von der Küche ihrer Großmütter, von Straßenmärkten und von gesunden, frischen Gerichten, zu denen sie auch die Rezepte liefern. Die Illustratorin und Koreakennerin Tina Kraus hat dazu wunderschöne Bilder geschaffen.

Kimchi, Bibimbap und Bulgogi – einige koreanische Gerichte sind auch hierzulande bekannt. Doch was zeichnet eigentlich das Wesen der koreanischen Küche aus? Um diese Frage zu beantworten, haben drei Koreanerinnen hier ihre besten und vielfach erprobten Familienrezepte versammelt. Diese Rezeptsammlung eröffnet uns den Weg zu einer vitaminreichen Küche, die mit wenigen, aber dafür charakteristischen Gewürzen wie Ingwer, Sojasauce, Sesamöl und Chilipaste auskommt, und deren Geschmack man von da an nicht mehr missen möchte. Doch die Autorinnen haben nicht einfach nur Rezepte aufgeschrieben, sie erzählen auch vom kulinarischen Alltag in Korea und lassen den Leser so ganz und gar in die Küche ihrer Heimat eintauchen. Die pointierten Illustrationen von Tina Kraus geben zusätzlich einen visuellen Eindruck vom Leben in Korea und machen Appetit auf Gerichte, die allesamt einfach nachzukochen sind.
