Here is London in the great era of Queen Victoria and King Edward VII, brought to life in rare, original, three-dimensional photographs.

Graphic design using limited or single colours not only offers a less expensive alternative to costly four and five colour printing, but also offers a range of effects from sombre and elegant to edgy and bold. One-colour and two-colour printing, although more common than four-colour printing, often carries with it a stigma of looking cheap compared to four-colour pieces. This book puts that myth to rest by showing how truly dynamic effects can be achieved with simple, inexpensive one and two-colour design and printing. Included is a 'colour finder' section designed to show readers a variety of colour combinations for various projects, such as logos, packaging, book jackets and posters. Each featured project is shown in thumbnail size in 15 to 20 different combinations. This easy to follow and inspirational book confirms that beauty is found in simplicity, and is highly recommended for anyone with an interest in graphic design.

Whether a house is in the city, out in the country, or near the water, the presence of a patio, a porch or a veranda can provide an important connection between the interior realm of a home and the external context of a residence. Depending on the location, a porch can serve different functions. In the city, it is a refuge from the loud, hectic traffic; in the countryside, it serves as a platform from which to admire the landscape. These spaces, at the border between interior and exterior, can also be used as outdoor dining rooms and sitting rooms, play rooms, or just intermediate ambiences where one can relax and enjoy the surroundings. This volume gathers a selection of international examples of patios, porches, and verandas where the reader will find inspirational design ideas and tips to make the most out of these spaces. Special attention to furniture and plants will help to create great projects.
