BOOK - craft inc
many of you will already have seen craft inc already, as its been of huge interest to all of us in blogland. but i wanted to mention not just its terrific written content, but its design too. i love the striking cover and bright optimistic colour scheme designed by sarah meyer. the inside layout too is visually stimulating as well as being incredibly informative, which is perfect for us design conscious readers. here are some pictures of sarah meyers illustrations for the book, the pin theme from the cover continues inside. written by meg mateo ilasco, a designer from san francisco this is the book to buy if you are setting up a design business and it features some great interviews with people who have done just that. see it in your local bookstore or here on amazon uk & usa,
or visit my pattern bookshop UK or USA.
