Abstract
"Often, it is the small, delightful details that make a piece shine, similar to the way unique buttons on a white shirt give it an entirely new look. This book explores 1,000 of these graphic embellishments across all kinds of projects, from books to brochures, invitations to menus, CDs to annual reports." "This book invites designers to literally shop for ideas. Exacting photography, which is accompanied by credits outlining the vendors and materials used, focuses on these details and content is organized by category. For example, if you're in the market for an unusual binding, turn to the bindings section to see a wide collection of fresh ideas." "Other topics covered include fasteners, graphics, unique materials, embossing, debossing, specialty inks, type treatments, interesting color usage, add-ons, die cuts, and much more."--Jacket.
