if you enjoyed the book pattern+palette in 2005, then good news : pattern+palette 2 has just been published. this time the designer at the helm is heidi arrizabalaga of the paperie HEIDI. the book is divided into 6 catergories with a palette of 15 colours given to each, then various combinations are shown to create hundreds of different looks. the book doesnt use pantones but instead gives you the cmyk percentages, handy for example if you are using illustrator as you can simply type in the numbers. this is a really great book for anyone looking for colour guidance, but the patterns are beautiful too. £12.40 from amazon uk or $19.80 from the US. oh and as if that was tempting enough it also comes with a bonus cd included.

ReplyDeleteI looked at their website ( as I am going to san francisco this weekend) They have several offices and have an office in London that could probably help in getting a specific book.
