Graphiscape New York

Graphiscape: New York and its accompanying volume Graphiscape: Tokyo represent the creative lifeblood of the cities as seen through their graphics. Graffiti, posters, neon lighting, street art, colour schemes, perspectives and forms are just some of the graphic elements collated as inspiration in these essential hip sourcebooks for graphic designers and visual creatives. Graphiscape: New York is organised around structure, communication, problem solving and originality - all principles that drive design itself - but with the raw edge of organic development. The flavour of each city is tasted through the vast variety of its visual elements that can be called graphic design in its widest sense. Geographical neighbourhoods are treated in distinct sections to further demonstrate the cultural depth and diversity of the subject cities. This is an essential guide to the graphic blood that flows in the visual arteries of New York.
