Design for Dementia, Mental Health and Wellbeing

Routledge 出版
2024/07/05 出版

This edited volume offers the first overview and reflective discussion of how design can contribute to people's wellbeing and mental health in the context of dementia, mental illness and neurodiversity. This book explores and promotes holistic, salutogenic and preventive strategies that recognise and respond to people's needs, wants, wishes and rights to further health, wellbeing and equality. Bringing together years of experience as designers and clinicians, the contributors to the book emphasise how design can be a collaborative, creative process as well as an outcome of this process, and they reveal how this is guided by mental health and design policy. Through its three parts, the book explores themes of ethics, citizenship and power relationships in co-design, providing an overview of current developments and approaches in co-design; of the culturally and value sensitive adaptation of design interventions and their applications, many of which are a result of co-design; and of policy and related standards in and for design and mental health. In this way, the book demonstrates how design can help to support people, their care partners and care professionals in promoting mental health and wellbeing, and it offers a rich resource on how to create a sustainable future for care in this domain. The book provides a unique and holistic overview and resource for designers, researchers, students, policy providers and health and care professionals to help support the development and adoption of person-centred design processes and interventions.

Visionary Designs By Bill Smith, tj

Outskirts Press 出版
2024/07/01 出版

This full color book is an excellent reference for costume jewelry lovers and collectors. While this first edition is by no means a complete representation of Bill's designs, it is the first catalog of Bill's work and the most comprehensive look at his life and career to date. Nearly 300 photographs, 10 editorial fashion photographs (out of more than the 200 that featured his work) and dozens of advertisements serve to authenticate Bill's designs. William Franklin, "Bill", Smith came from humble beginnings in small town Madison, Indiana and became a successful fine and costume jewelry designer. After three semesters at Indiana University as a Fine Arts major, Bill moved to New York to pursue a dance career. However, there were limited roles for Black dancers in the early 1950s, so he turned to jewelry design to make a living. Soon, he was being sought after by socialites, performers, and fashionistas alike for his frequently outrageous, over-the-top designs. Ethel Scull, Charlotte Ford, Loretta Young, Lena Horne, and Leontyne Price were among his famous clients. Bill was fond of using alternative materials, such as items found in hardware stores and nature, "You can use anything you want - but don't make it look like what it is - give it another dimension". His Russian gold-plated gas pipe bracelet was a piece photographed in several fashion magazines throughout his career. In 1968, as the first Black Vice President of Richelieu, and the first designer to put his name on a collection, Bill created jewelry "clothing" made of pearls, chains, or faux coins. Models wearing his daring designs strutted the runway in a 1969 segment of the Today Show with Barbara Walters in August,1969. His oversized brooches, necklaces and earrings in bright, bold jewel tones have a decidedly masculine feel to them. Bill collaborated with fashion designers Jon Haggins, Arthur McGee, Mr. Mort, Scott Barrie, and others to create signature accessories for their collections. Bill Smith, t.j. (for "the jeweler" so as not to be confused with the clothing designer) won several prestigious design awards including the Swarovski Great Designs in Costume Jewelry award in 11967 and the coveted Coty Award in 1970. Bill designed nearly 200 pieces of jewelry for the Broadway production of Coco, starring Katharine Hepburn. Bill was also selected to create the crown for the Miss Black America pageant, which was worn by winners from 1968-1975.Bill Smith's designs are in the permanent collections of the Jefferson County History and Art Museum in Madison, Indiana, The MET in New York City, The Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Eskenazi Museum of Art at Indiana University, Bloomington, and the Yale University Art Collection.

Applied Design Thinking for Problem Solving

BS Publications 出版
2024/06/24 出版

"Applied Design Thinking for Problem Solving" is a ground breaking book that aims to redefine the concept of value in the industry. With over five decades of experience in the field of Value Analysis and Value Engineering, the author offers unique insights into how organizations can maximize their profits and create products and services that truly resonate with customers. In this book, the author delves into the misconceptions surrounding the term "value" and sets out to clarify its true meaning.

He highlights the importance of design thinking in determining whether a product or service is worth the price a customer is willing to pay. Through examples and case studies, the author demonstrates how customers make decisions based on the worth and cost of a product.

The book also traces the evolution of Value Analysis and Value Engineering, shedding light on their emergence in the post-war period and their growing popularity in the Indian industry over the past five decades. With his vast experience working with various organizations across different sectors, the author shares valuable insights into the applications of these techniques in materials, processes, labor, equipment, energy, and systems. Moreover, the author addresses the need for clear demarcation between Design Thinking and Value Engineering, aiming to reduce subjectivity and enhance objectivity in their application. He emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and involvement of diverse stakeholders in the development and implementation of new concepts. "Applied Design Thinking for Problem Solving" is a comprehensive guide for organizations looking to enhance their value proposition and maximize their productivity. It provides practical strategies, real-world examples, and actionable insights that can revolutionize the way businesses approach value creation.

In search of the book as a work of art

Alan,Loney  著
Opifex 出版
2024/06/24 出版

In Search of the Book as a Work of Art asks questions about how we understand the words 'art' and 'book' and what happens when we put them together. It argues that the categories by which we have distinguished different kinds of books no longer tell us what we are looking at when we look at new books, including many made by trade publishers. Categories like 'fine press book' and 'artist book' have served useful purposes in the past, but are now redundant in the face of the incredible range of categorical overlaps in books that people are actually making. Along the way, this book explores and explodes a number of current ideas about books whose use-by dates are seen by the author as well and truly passed. This work supplements the author's earlier essays, The Books to Come (Cuneiform 2012) and The Printing of a Masterpiece (Black Pepper 2008), with a summation of four decades as a poet, printer, commentator, and publisher in the field. Taking his cue from a long-felt need for 'the book' to be a serious conversation outside of specialist discourse, the author presents an account in plain language about art and about the book that implies no expert knowledge - no technical terms, no specialised concepts, and no need to have the artist or their curators on hand to tell us what we are seeing when we see or pick up any new book. If this book is a critique, it is not a critique of any book made by anyone under the banner of the old categories (private press book, fine press book, artist book, limited edition book, and so on) but it is an examination of the words we use to talk about these books. It wants to know how the non-expert already talks about books and to see if a greater sensitivity to that ordinary language, 'the language of the tribe', is what we need instead of an increase in the complexity of the language with which we talk to each other about books - a turn to the books themselves.

Fashion

Ilya,Parkins  著
Routledge 出版
2024/06/17 出版

Inspired by a rapidly changing fashion landscape, Fashion: New Feminist Essays offers historical and contemporary studies that reveal the relationships between fashion with gender, sexuality, race, and age.Fashion is a rich terrain for feminist scholars in the twenty-first century. Explicit engagements with feminist and queer politics, critical interventions by industry outsiders across digital platforms, diversifying images of stylish bodies, and ongoing discussions of the ethics and sustainability of fashion production: all of these point to an urgent need to reappraise the relationship of fashion to feminism and other justice-seeking movements. The essays in this collection take up fashion as a feminist critical tool that uniquely holds together the lived and represented body with larger cultural structures. Contributors unearth surprising new lines of connection between gender, sexuality, race, age, and religion in their relationship to capitalism, both historically and in the present. Bringing together established and emerging scholars, and perspectives from gender studies, history, sociology, philosophy, and literary studies, Fashion: New Feminist Essays traces the far-reaching impact of this most feminized of forms, underscoring the significance of fashion studies for understanding the politics of culture. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Australian Feminist Studies journal.

Keywords SeriesEdited by Jason ThamFrom "Accessibility" to "Visual Semiotics," from "Augmentation" to "Writing Studio," and from "3D Printing" to "Wireframing," major sections of KEYWORDS IN MAKING demonstrate how words, semantics, and terminologies create and sustain a particular discourse community consisting of makers and designers.

Charles J. Connick

2024/06/07 出版

The first comprehensive account of Charles J. Connick, America's most innovative and influential stained glass artist working in the first half of the twentieth century When Charles J. Connick (1875-1945) began his stained glass career in Pittsburgh in the 1890s, America's fascination with the newly invented "opalescent" windows of Tiffany and La Farge meant that the original traditions of the art form were almost forgotten. Connick made it his life's mission to reassert the values of the medieval craft, successfully persuading twentieth-century Americans that these could inspire powerfully expressive modern glass as well as thrilling new imagery. This book presents the dynamic trajectory of Connick's artistic development. Refuting any notion of Connick as a revivalist, Peter Cormack examines the diverse cultural influences that shaped Connick's art, including his creative interaction with European stained glass and his friendship with poets such as Robert Frost. Richly illustrated and based on decades of research, it analyzes Connick's work in the context of the Arts and Crafts and "Modern Gothic" movements in architecture and the applied arts, showcasing stained glass works found throughout some of the most spectacular buildings in the United States, including New York's St. John the Divine Cathedral and San Francisco's Grace Cathedral. His fruitful collaborations with Ralph Adams Cram, Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue, Maginnis & Walsh, and other leading architects are also documented in detail.

It was the first book to address the cultural, political, and material histories of clothes as signs and markers of gender and sexual identity, and remains key reading for scholars and students across fashion studies and the humanities more broadly. Now, 10 years later, the authors have revisited their classic work and updated it to examine the function of subcultural dress within queer communities and the mannerisms and messages that are used as signifiers of identity.

Relationality

2024/06/05 出版

This important new book argues that at the root of the contemporary crisis of climate, energy, food, inequality, and meaning is a certain core presupposition that structures the ways in which we live, think, act and design: the assumption of dualism, or the fundamental separateness of things. The authors contend that the key to constructing livable worlds lies in the cultivation of ways of knowing and acting based on a profound awareness of the fundamental interdependence of everything that exists - what they refer to as relationality. This shift in paradigm is necessary for healing our bodies, ecosystems, cities, and the planet at large. The book follows two interwoven threads of argumentation: on the one hand, it explains and exemplifies the modes of operation and the dire consequences of non-relational living; on the other, it elucidates the nature of relationality and explores how it is embodied in transformative practices in multiple spheres of life. The authors provide an instructive account of the philosophical, scientific, social, and political sources of relational theory and action, with the aim of illuminating the transition from living within seemingly ineluctable 'toxic loops' of unrelational living (based on ontological dualism), to living within 'relational weaves' which we might co-create with multiple human and nonhuman others.

Sneaker Freaker. the Ultimate Sneaker Book. 40th Ed.

Simon,Wood  著
TASCHEN 出版
2024/05/01 出版

Back in 2002, Simon "Woody" Wood was dreaming up schemes to get free sneakers. Two weeks later, he was the proud owner of Sneaker Freaker and his life was never the same. From its early roots as a punk-style fanzine to today's super-slick print and online operations, the fiercely independent publication has documented every collab, custom, limited edition, retro reissue, Quickstrike, Hyperstrike, and Tier Zero sneaker released over the last 20 years. Woody's original premise that Sneaker Freaker would be "funny and serious, meaningful and pointless at the same time" has certainly been vindicated in The Ultimate Sneaker Book. With more than 500 pages jam-packed with insider knowledge and his own irreverent observations, the insane historical detail and otaku-level minutiae is beyond obsessive. Traversing 100 years of history, each chapter paints a rollicking picture of the sneaker industry's evolution. Air Max, Air Force, Adi Dassler, Converse, Dapper Dan, Dee Brown, and Michael Jordan--along with obscure treasures like Troop, Airwalk, and Vision Street Wear--are all exhaustively documented. This is a definitive source of knowledge. This is... The Ultimate Sneaker Book!

Continuum

ORO editions 出版
2024/04/24 出版

The book should be inspirational to any graphic designer, student of graphic design, teacher of graphic design, writer, poet and/or student of politics that would enjoy learning about global issues in a different way from what traditional mass media (television and newspaper) expose us to. Since the book is socially conscious it will speak to any social-political non for profit organizations, for example Amnesty International, who also fight for human rights.Many graphic design books are currently available, but none that juxtaposes poetics and the visual language of graphic design so cohesively. The book challenges designers to leave their comfort zone to become "part poet" thereby having the potential to meld two communities into one. We project as our society is more digitized, any product released to it has more potential to transform itself into digital noise rendering the product itself ineffective. Effectiveness is the key and printed material is hands down more effective. The hope is for the book to appeal to a broad readership. If spacetime is right, any work can permeate though the consciousness of society.

Objects of Affection

Giles 出版
2024/04/23 出版

A new survey of the life, creative spirit, and career of Robert W. Ebendorf, one of America's most important artists in the field of found-object jewelry and metalwork.Robert Ebendorf (b. 1938) has been one of the most influential artists in the studio jewelry movement from its beginning in the 1960s to today. His work combines exceptional craftsmanship, acquired through traditional training in gold- and silversmithing, with the inventive use of found objects and other alternative materials such as acrylic and ColorCore. Objects of Affection traces his development from the Scandinavian modernism of his early work to his first use of found objects such as tintype photographs in the 1960s; juxtapositions of colored acrylic and precious metals in the 1970s; use of found newspaper and other textual elements in the 1980s; his pivotal incorporation of animal parts in the 1990s; and the remixing and further development of many of these approaches in the twenty-first century.Unique features of this highly collectable volume are its special focus on Ebendorf's work of the last two decades, his friendship with collectors Ron Porter and Joe Price, and his activities during his time in North Carolina. Also of note are the inclusion of selected works by graduates and faculty of East Carolina University (ECU) jewelry program that Ebendorf led from 1997 to 2016; preparatory sketches by Ebendorf; and collages included by him in many of the letters and postcards he has written over the course of his career. Many of these letters feature printed ephemera, in addition to sketches. And it is this ephemeral and archival aspect of the PorterˑPrice Collection which sets it apart from other publications on Ebendorf's work.

Chronicles of Care

Vernon Press 出版
2024/04/15 出版

The Covid-19 crisis and the designed interventions that the authors have catalogued in this book prove definitively that design does care. The authors documented this as it evolved every day from the 1st January 2020 to 31st May 2020 inclusive. Then they looked at all of this care and caring from the point of view of design and, by the sheer volume of design interventions they have documented, illustrate that design is good in a crisis.What the Covid-19 pandemic illustrated is that for the first time in modern history, capital was totally irrelevant. Money could not save your life. Only design could. Rapidly designed masks, shelters, hospitals, instructional posters, infographics, dashboards, respirators, sanitisers, virtual and local communities emerged to save us. From January 2020, design became king.The Covid-19 global pandemic presented an ontological reality; design is more than margins or profit. In fact, design became extremely valuable when it stopped concentrating on those things and started to care about peoples' lives. This brief episode in history is still repositioning the status of design and reconfiguring its signifier from consumption to care.The contents of this book cover the outbreak, lockdown, and the beginning of the reopening in the UK. In between, the book functions as a history of pandemic crisis design interventions. As such it is a "research-in-the-moment project" where we have illustrated our thoughts and insights in tables, charts and diagrams. We have accepted all design interventions as valid and given them the same role and status by presenting each of them in a standard format. No curation. No selection. No position. The task of critical analysis must follow - perhaps by us, certainly by others.

The Changing Face of Burberry

Bloomsbury 出版
2024/04/02 出版

Global fashion markets, particularly those aimed at prosperous millennial consumers in China, are in thrall to Burberry, and connect the company's output in the 21st century to a quintessential notion of British tradition. The Changing Face of Burberryexamines how the company successfully built this sense of tradition and how it has retained and capitalized on it within contemporary consumer culture. Charting the company's modest beginnings in semi-rural Hampshire in 1856 when it primarily produced waxed smocks for agricultural workers, the book follows the ebbs and flows of its fortunes over its 150-year history, from creating garments for the early motorist, the gentleman officer, and the aristocratic adventurer, to its current status as global fashion brand. It also explores Burberry's more problematic associations, when the brand was sold in tourist souvenir stores and linked to 'chav' culture. Combining interviews and archive material, including close analysis of advertising campaigns from the late 19th to the 21st century, The Changing Face of Burberry provides an authoritative account of shifting forms of British identity, consumer culture and fashion production, and highlights the shift over two centuries from an era when garments were made by a single hand, through to a digitized and global marketplace.

Hollywood Fashion explores the art and legacy of the cinematic costume designer, starting with the birth of the modern motion picture industry on a prime piece of California real estate known as Hollywood. Readers will discover how film clothing evolved from actors selecting items from their home wardrobes to outfits customized for their roles -- everything from suits of armor to ball gowns to office attire to lingerie, all created by a studio designer and a dedicated staff of costumers.

"Feature spreads" throughout the chronological chapters include: Style makers: offering biographies of the legendary designers and showcasing their most outstanding creations Style trends: exploring the social movements and cultural phenomena that affected movie costumes and further influenced how America -- and the world -- dressed Album of trendsetters: highlighting red carpet fashions and introducing the fans' favorite Blondes, Brunettes and Redheads Men of the decade: showing how male actors used fashion -- contemporary, historical or futuristic -- to create a character or enhance ambience.
