Around 1880, a new decorative style developed in Europa that radically broke with prevailing artistic conventions. Variations of this style included Art Nouveau in France and Arts & Crafts in England. The variety that emerged in German-speaking countries became known as JUGENDSTIL, literally 'youth style', typified by its flowing lines, stylized floral compositions and rich use of detail and colour. The importance and quality of this style is it swiftly came to dominate practically all forms of European applied arts and architecture, and it survived well into the 1920s.

FLIESENDESIGN AUS BARCELONA bietet eine farbenfrohe Sammlung sorgfältig restaurierter und digitalisierter Dekors. Vorgestellt werden sowohl einzelne Fliesen als auch ganze Dekors oder Bordüren.

Packaging is an important factor in any retail environment and a key element in most marketing strategies. Consumers react immediately to package shapes, and are influenced by them when making buying decisions.

Mail It! contains a large selection of structural designs for envelopes and packages to be sent by mail or parcel delivery services. All the patterns are stored in eps vector format on the enclosed CD-ROM. They may be used freely to create new designs, and can be scaled and modified as needed.

The principal purpose of this book, as with other volumes in the Pepin Press Design Series, is to present a vast selection of designs. For this particular book, they have all been selected from one of the world’s foremost paper collections, amassed over a period of twenty years by Jacques Koops, restorer of antique books and prints, and Johannes Marcus, antiquarian book dealer from Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The designs can often be better appreciated with a basic understanding of reproductions techniques. For his reason, a short description of each technique is given at the beginning of each chapter, as well as information about the sources of the designs.
