There’s a special mystique about boxes. They can keep things organized, hold our treasures, or conceal our secrets. That’s the inspiration behind this delightful collection of more than 35 projects for decorating ordinary boxes with fabric, paper, metal, wire, glass, and other materials--and embellishing them with appliqu�s, beads, buttons, photographs, artificial flowers, and even old costume jewelry. The projects include a Leather Valet to store keys and change, the Mermaid’s Mosaic Box (ideal for bathroom use), Lavender Matchbox Sachets, and even a Paisley Box Purse. The step-by-step directions introduce a wide range of craft techniques, from papier mache to reverse painting on glass. It’s an inventive way to recycle old boxes, and an inexpensive source of charming one-of-a-kind gifts.

Designed to Sell presents an engaging account of mid-twentieth-century department store design and display in America from the 1930s to the 1960s. It traces the development of postwar philosophies of retail design that embodied aesthetics and function and new modes of merchandise display, resulting in the emergence of a new type of industrial designer. The evolution of aesthetics in department stores during this period reflected larger cultural shifts in consumer behaviour and lifestyle. Designed to Sell explores these changes using five key case studies and original archival sources to reveal the link between designers and consumption beyond the design of individual objects. It argues that design is not simply connected to retail consumption, but that it is capable of controlling how and where customers shop and what they are drawn to purchase. This book contextualises this discussion and brings it up to date for students and scholars interested in design, retail, and interior history.

Through the case studies and interviews, readers will find inspired to look beyond the over-emphasized basic features and into the depths of InDesign's utility for real-world print design. Most InDesign books are written for beginners, and experienced users are frustrated by them.

Like all Mastering books, this one includes: A "by pros for pros" approach: The author is an active professional working in the field of graphic arts, layout, and design, writing for professionals who want to improve their skills or learn new skills. Real-world examples: Running throughout the text are examples of how the various skills are applied in real scenarios, described throughout the book in the form of examples and case studies from the author's own design and consulting work, as well as interviews with other designers using InDesign on the job. Skill-based teaching and hands-on exercises Although the book has a comprehensive glossary, page one begins right away speaking to the core market—print professionals—in industry terms about industry challenges. This immediately lets experienced InDesign users know the book is about them. The approach is humorous, making the digestion and retention of complicated information easier for the reader through quips, anecdotes, and design- and print-geek humor. But at all times the book is true to its mission: Helping a professional do their job in InDesign without frustration, confusion, or aesthetic compromise.
