Japanese Optical and Geometrical Art

A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.The spine remains undamaged. The 746 designs contained in this volume represent some of the most ingenio us and attractive applications of geometrical and optical motifs to be foun d today. Taken from an authentic, modern Japanese work, they are an intrigu ing new source of unique design elements for artists, designers, and illust rators. The designs employ circles, dots, squares, ellipses, curves, lines, angles, complete alphabets, and numbers in a seeming infinitude of balance, asymme try, repetition, harmony, swirl, and mathematical exactitude. Some seem to recede, advance, shimmer, and dazzle in the manner of Op Art; others fool t he eye with wholly unexpected shifts in focus; still others start with a ba sic theme and either develop remarkable variations or repeat the same eleme nt almost endlessly. But all, from the smallest design to those that take a full page, fascinate and delight. This book is an inexhaustible source of novel, appealing, and striking design elements for advertising campaigns, packaging, display, industrial use, crafts, textiles, and similar fields. These designs may be used as they are, or cropped, enlarged, reduced, repeated, rearranged, combined, screened, superimposed, cut apart, overlaid, or otherwise employed. All illustrators, designers, crafters, and commercial and graphic artists will find this collection immensely usable and the individual designs extremely effective.
