CONTEMPORARY PORTRAITS

From the beginning of time, we've sought ways to categorise and catalogue the world around us, through maps and other geographic drawings. Now in todays modern and globalised world, we can focus our attention not only on simple carfography but rather in the development of the map as an essential symbol of design. This book celebrates geography and maps in all their creative uses and applications, featuring a wide array of design projects inspired by geographic elements.

The worlds of art and design have consistently depended on some elements of mathematics to provide a structure and base for their creative work. In particular, geometry is an element that has proven to be popular throughout the years, and has experienced a definite surge in popularity in recent years. Geometry makes me happy celebrates the use of geometric design and art, shown in a variety of different applications. This colourful and inspiring book is divided into distinct sections, including art, photography, graphic design, illustration, industrial design, street art and architecture.
