As the digital medium has been infinitely explored in the graphic environment we have seen a return to the analogue, the crafty, and the real world manifestation and creation of visual ideas. One of the truly inspired methods within this setting is the creation of graphics within a sculptural or £D environment. Now logos are no longer flat but reflect a physical presence, typeface is now carved and sculpted. The edge has again been blurred between the real, the physical and the imagined. Stereo Graphics explores the application of prop building towards the creation of inspired graphics, and especially fresh new font design, by showing hundreds of successful projects based on model creation. Promotional flyers, brochures, in-store graphics as well as textiles and clothing reflect this brave new world of boundless design.

The stereographic projection is an essential tool in the fields of structural geology and geotechnics, which allows three-dimensional orientation data to be represented and manipulated. This book has been designed to make the subject as accessible as possible. It gives a straightforward and simple introduction to the subject and, by means of examples, illustrations and exercises, encourages the student to visualise the problems in three dimensions. Students of all levels will be able to work through the book and come away with a clear understanding of how to apply these vital techniques. This revised edition contains additional material on geotechnical applications, improved illustrations and links to useful web resources and software programs. It will provide students of geology, rock mechanics, geotechnical and civil engineering with an indispensable guide to the analysis and interpretation of field orientation data.

Beginning around 1865, as the fledgling art and science of photography began to appear in cities and towns across the United States, a small group of photographers, using new methods and equipment developed a few years before in Europe, began producing and offering for sale stereographic views of the people, places, and events that made up daily life in the then nearly 40-year-old city of Grand Rapids. These photographic views were unlike others that had preceded them and when viewed using a special device, they presented a detailed, three-dimensional portrait of the young city. Once introduced, stereographic views of the city, alongside those of more distant lands, became wildly popular and soon graced the homes of many in this city and elsewhere. The stereographic cards themselves today offer a rare and detailed glimpse of the city, its residents, and some of the special and unusual events that occurred nearly 150 years ago.
