Alan Fletcher, The Art of Looking Sideways

Good one.i love to heard it.Everyone will love this it was excellent one.

I love life drawing too and relycce but using secondhand fabrics deconstructed by my embellisher machine and reconstructed with wool,silk etc in to new backgrounds upon which my machine embroidered figures and text are laid-I also create 3D pieces using layering and wool bu drawing with wool strands in the same effect as drawing in pecil or ink-great work!

Love this book, a friend lent to me, it's full of everything you need to know about everything and nothing. Every household should have a copy.

Visual intelligence, an exploration of the workings of the eye, le hand, le brain and the fired imagination. Alan Fletcher, The Art of Looking Sideways a inexhaustible treasure of anecdotes, quotations, images, curious facts and useless information - but then I questioned is it useless? I was stimulated to the point of exhaustion - not since the Lubin experience have I felt like this. The numerous oddities, boffin science, jokes and memories, all concerned with the interplay - but cusping juxtapostion, between the verbal - the visual, bloody clever stuff. 72 chapters, certainly value for money excellent use of type, space, colour and imagery.

Alan Fletcher, The Art of Looking Sideways - I was shopping at Vroman's earlier today looking for a design book. I picked this one up because it had interesting layouts and 533 pages of them (actually double that as he counts one spread as one page). After I got home and started to skim through the book (which I haven't stopped doing for the last 5 hours and I doubt I have read a 10th of it yet) I was amazed at the degree of intelligence, humor, insight, etc., on every page. This book is easily worth a pound per page and I only paid 40 dollars American for it. A must buy.
