Dear reader,
‘If you want to go fast, go alone;
if you want to go far, go together’
-African proverb
While trying to create a meaningful world it
is important to consider long-term solutions.
The best ways to achieve (long-term) goals is
to work with others. Cooperation is one of the
cornerstones of our community and is
intertwined in our lives, not only in our
business environments, but also on a personal
level. Achieve more, work together. This
requires an essential skill: negotiation.
Negotiation is about people. There are
numerous facets in negotiation: how people
influence each other, as well as the legal,
economic, and cultural aspects. One
encounters negotiations in daily situations,
whether personal or in business. ‘Mastering
the Art of Negotiation’ helps you to learn,
develop, and maintain this important skill.
This season we have a great list of new titles
where personal engagement and interaction
plays an important role.
In ‘Handbook Event Design’ you will learn how
to create a successful event by understanding
who has what at stake and define behavioural
changes required to deliver value. In innovation
the role of the designer is moving towards
a more strategic one; this involves working
closely with the customer and engaging in
creating the design brief, not merely limited to
the position of an executor. ‘Strategic Design’
focuses on specific practices to act effectively
on a strategic level. ‘Thinking in Services’
provides a groundbreaking method; expressing
the design of a service in code, a uniform
language that enables people across all layers
of the service organisation to implement policy
and strategy.
In our gift section we have some great exercise
books to keep the brain active and boost your
creativity. Improve your idea production by
dividing your thinking in ‘Divergent and
Convergent thinking’. Or strengthen your
ability to make connections with the ‘Creative
Thinker’s Exercise Book’. This is the follow-up
to ‘The Secret of the Highly Creative Thinker’
who entered #1 in the new release list at
Amazon.com! But also the brain breaker, 21
things you should know about nothing. Read
all about it in ‘Read Nothing in Here’.
There is more, 14 new titles in total. So if you
have some time on your hands or are in need
of inspiration, read on… or wander around on
www.bispublishers.com for even more
information and a preview of our books.
You can understand that cooperation is highly
valued by us, we can’t do without it. What is
more, we don’t want to do without it, because
we want to go far and therefore we must go
together! Together with our authors whose
expertise we greatly appreciate, and together
with you, our valued customer.
Don’t forget to stay connected via our social
networks; like, share, and spread the word.
As ever, if you have a good idea for a new
project, don’t hesitate to contact us. We would
love to hear from you!

Different Brains,
Different Approach
Successful neuro
advertising for both
genders: male and female
By Huub van Osch
• Appeals to a wide range of target
groups, from marketing professionals
to people interested in neuroscience.
• The only book about neuroscience
based on neurological differences
between men and women.
• Written by a pioneer in neuroscience
for the advertising industry.
Finally, a book that describes the neurological differences between the male and
female brain and how this is implemented in advertising! The book describes
how men and women think, the origin
of their emotions, and why they make
certain decisions. Find out why women
like shopping so much, why humorous ads
appeal to men, or why women make better
decisions. 80% of all purchases worldwide
are made or influenced by women. Why
is advertising so often aimed at men?
Find the answer to the life-long question
about differences in purchasing motivation
between men and women, and learn to
implement this in advertising. Learn the
do’s and don’ts for effective communication
for both men and women.
Although this book is written from a
scientific perspective, thanks to the
numerous interesting examples and tips,
it is easy to implement and useful for
advertising campaigns. In short, a
must-have for all marketers, strategists,
creatives, students, or anyone working with
brands. Marketers and strategists will
benefit from an enlarged body of
knowledge, while creatives will learn how
to develop more effective ad campaigns.
Huub van Osch MBM is creative
director, strategist, and owner of two
advertising agencies in the
Netherlands. Both specialised in neuro
advertising. Huub graduated Cum
Laude at the Erasmus University with
his thesis about male and female neuro
cognitive processes.

Concept Code
How to Create
Meaningful Concepts
By Gaby Crucq - Toffulo and Sanne Knitel
Conceptual thinking involves adding vision
to a product, service, or organisation.
Content is key, as this determines the
coherence of the concept.
Consumers want to experience every
aspect of the concept. In addition, the
producer must meet the emotional and
functional needs of the consumer.
Therefore, while it is necessary to ‘think
conceptually’, it is also important to ‘do
conceptually’; a concept must be
executable (doable). ‘In order to attract and
bind your consumer, your concept
becomes vital for your success.’
‘Concept Code’ guides you through every
stage of bringing life to an idea in order
for it to grow into a fully matured concept.
It also gives insight into the importance of
the consumer’s mind and how this
functions in to make your concept
successful.
• A practical guide to effectively
improve ideas, policies, products, and
services.
• A comprehensible industry-approved
method for concept-development.
• For all professionals in any field of
industry and governmental
organisation.
Gaby Crucq works as a Lecturer in
Concept Development at the Fontys
Academy for Creative Industries in
Tilburg, the Netherlands. Gaby is
currently studying at the European
Institute for Brand Management
(EURIB). Sanne Knitel works as a
lecturer in imagineering, concepting
and design at the Fontys Academy for
Creative Industries, Netherlands.

Strategic Design
8 Essential Practices
Every Strategic Designer
must Master
By Dr. Giulia Calabretta,
Prof. Gerda Gemser and Dr. Ingo Karpen
• Targets design professionals who
want to or have grown into a more
strategic role in innovation.
• Enables design professionals to play
this role effectively through a set of up
to-date and ‘hands on’ practices, tools,
and illustrative cases.
• Builds on the knowledge based
experience and network of the Creative
Industry Scientific Program.
The rol of design professionals’ in
innovation is growing towards a more
strategic one. They are no longer just
executors of new product and/or service
design briefs but are increasingly involved
in the crafting of these briefs and in the
strategic decisions leading to these briefs.
In order to effectively play this role, design
professionals need to master a set of
strategic practices – i.e., routinized
actions and ways of working. However,
since the strategic role of designers is a
relatively new development, many
designers lack knowledge on specific
practices for acting effectively on a
strategic level in innovation projects.
This book introduces ten strategic design
practices: envisioning, inspiring, reframing,
focusing, road mapping, simplifying,
aligning, translating, educating and
embracing. These ten practices will help
the design professionals become familiar
with effective tools for strategic innovation
projects and give them a set of guidelines
for easily and quickly applying these
practices and tools.
Dr. Giulia Calabretta is an Assistant
Professor in Strategic Value of Design
at the Faculty of Industrial Design
Engineering, Delft University of
Technology (Delft Netherlands). Prof.
Gerda Gemser is a Full Professor of
Business and Design at RMIT
University of Technology and Design,
Melbourne, Australia. Dr. Ingo Karpen is
a Senior Lecturer in Marketing at RMIT
University and a Member of the Design
Research Institute at RMIT University.

Encoding and Expressing
Strategy through Design
By Majid Iqbal
This book introduces a powerful design
language that appeals as much to creative
professionals and programmers as it does
to accountants, engineers, and lawyers,
with the belief of raising the bar by
lowering barriers. Raising the bar in design
requires multidisciplinary efforts that are
easier without standard language barriers.
Design is the ultimate expression of policy
and strategy, and expressing design in the
form of a code makes it possible for every
layer of the service enterprise to execute
the design (code) in a fast and parallel
manner to deliver what has been promised
at a much lower cost. For that purpose,
the book introduces a system and method
that go beyond blueprints and customer
journey maps, to broaden the appeal of
service design for strategists, economists,
and budget analysts.
• A new system and method that
combines industrial design with
strategy.
• A method that has only been available
to a few large government and
commercial enterprises.
• Gives the confidence to pursue bigger
and bolder ideas in the form of services.
This patented system and method has,
until now, only been available to a few
large government and commercial enterprises, (Boeing, United HC) through
consulting projects or 2-day workshops.
Majid Iqbal advises government and
commercial enterprises in expressing
their policies and strategies through a
more dynamic portfolio of services. He
began this inquiry at Carnegie Mellon
University, where he taught for six
years, before becoming a consultant at
Gartner and PwC.

Mastering the Art of
Negotiation
7 Guides for Creating
your Journey
By Geurt Jan de Heus
You negotiate on a daily basis, although
you just may not always notice it and/or
be aware of it. Every day, at home and
at work, you collaborate, find solutions,
solve problems, or deal with differences of
opinion or even conflicts.
• Creates a new mindset on how to view
people and what to expect from the
way one interacts with others.
• A text, image, and workbook that
builds on the good thoughts of
Fischer & Ury.
• Creates a different perception of the
topic.
This book applies 7 basic principles for
you to take ownership of the process of
negotiation. It builds on the foundational
theory of Getting to Yes. It provides insight
into your personal pitfalls and allows you
to handle increasing complexity in
negotiations in a more conscious and
resilient manner. This book answers the
most frequently asked questions spanning
over 20 years in the author’s training and
coaching practice, with chapters such as
Recognizing Negotiation Dynamics,
Day-to-Day Dilemmas, The 7 Guidelines,

Systematically Design
Innovative Events using the
#EventCanvas
By Roel Frissen, Ruud Janssen and
Dennis Luijer
Some of the most life-changing connections are made at events. But if you can’t
design events, how can you change your
world? The answer? This handbook will
change the way you think about how
events change the world you live in. It
shows the way to re-design your world on
one sheet of paper using the
#EventCanvas.
• A breakthrough systematic approach
to event design on a single sheet of
paper.
• The #EventCanvas distinguishes
between 14 building blocks and dissects
events on a stakeholder level.
• A visual handbook to demonstrate the
why, how, and what of event design
with real world application and case
studies that demonstrate effective event
design.
This book identifies the starting point of
any event and outlines steps of how events
come to life. It focuses on the DNA of
specific aspects of events, and provides
insight into how to observe and analyze
events, understand stakeholders, and
define behavioural changes required to
deliver value. It also identifies the levers
and mechanisms that influence such
behavioural changes in event design.
This handbook lays the foundation for
creating a common language. A language
that can be spoken and understood by
those who know and those who don’t yet
know the mechanics of events. It is a
pragmatic approach for designing and
creating events that matter.
Roel Frissen and Ruud Janssen are the
founders of EventCanvas.org
Foundation and Event Model
Generation. Dennis Luijer is a visual
thinker and a story engagement
engineer.

Design My Privacy
8 Principles for Better
Privacy Design
10
How can we protect our privacy in this
digital era? This question is increasingly
relevant to designers due to the emergence of ‘the internet of things’. Technology
is now part of our daily items. Watches,
clothing, cars, and houses are becoming
‘smart’ and connected to the ‘cloud’. This
book provides guidance on how to design
to address concerns regarding privacy.
‘Design My Privacy’ is written to encourage designers to think about, as well as
design for privacy issues. The technology
behind smart products and systems are
so complex, that it is difficult to understand
the consequences for the consumer’s
everyday life. Designers must think about
transparency and accessibility in the
design of privacy-sensitive products and
services. This book offers guidance in the
form of 8 design principles for products
and services.
• Based on 8 principles in privacy
design.
• This book encourage designers to
think about privacy issues for products
and services.
• Written by a Dutch pioneer in
privacy design.

Tijmen Schep holds an MA in both
interactive media design from the HKU
(graduating with an interactive urban
screen) and new media theory from the
University of Utrecht (graduating with
distinction on a thesis that critically
examined ubiquitous computing
ideology). This duality of perspective

DESIGN MY PRIVACY
WAT IS PRIVACY
EIGENLIJK?
Privacy is een door de Verenigde Naties erkend
mensenrecht. Privacy vormt een belangrijke pijler
onder verschillende vrijheden die we in de westerse
wereld uiterst belangrijk vinden, zoals de vrijheid van
meningsuiting, de vrijheid van samenkomst, en het recht
op een goede rechtsgang (wanneer je bijvoorbeeld een
privégesprek voert met een advocaat).
Tegelijkertijd blijkt privacy voor veel mensen een
moeilijk te vatten begrip. Dat komt door de verschillende
manieren waarop privacy gedefinieerd kan worden en
door de verschillende belangen en contexten waarin
privacy een rol speelt. Laten we eens een aantal
verschillende perspectieven op privacy bekijken.
Binnen discussies over de definitie van privacy maakt
men vaak onderscheid tussen de waarde van privacy voor
het individu en de waarde voor de maatschappij als geheel.
Privacy als recht
Om alleen gelaten te worden
Het recht op privacy, dat vlak na de uitvinding van de
paparazzi ontstond, werd oorspronkelijk (1890) omschreven
als het recht van het individu om alleen gelaten te worden25.
We gaan ervan uit dat we thuis niet bespioneerd worden
en daar geheimen kunnen bewaren, zoals bijvoorbeeld
over onze gezondheid of wat we in de slaapkamer doen.
Bijna iedereen heeft thuis gordijnen in de slaapkamer.
We genieten eigenlijk continu van onze privacy. Het is zo
normaal dat we er bijna niet meer bij stil staan.
52
DESIGN MY PRIVACY
PRINCIPE 1
Denk al in de beginfase van een project na over hoe je
met privacy en data omgaat. Dat klinkt (hopelijk) logisch,
maar in de praktijk blijkt dit vaak niet het geval. In veel
producten worden privacy features pas later ingebouwd,
in het ergste geval pas na bezwaar door het brede publiek.
Dit is niet altijd even eenvoudig, bijvoorbeeld omdat de
software niet meer aangepast kan worden, de hardware
infrastructuur niet goedkoop te vervangen is, of omdat
het gekozen businessmodel het niet toestaat. Soms is
privacyschending heel bewust tot stand gekomen, en
wordt er gebruik gemaakt van zogenaamde 'dark patterns'
om ervoor te zorgen dat mensen per ongeluk meer
informatie weggeven dan ze willen. Onwil, bureaucreatie
en kennisgebrek maken het lastig om deze problemen
adequaat aan te pakken. Door er vroeg bij te zijn en
deze vraagstukken op tijd te onderzoeken, kunnen
deze problemen hopelijk zo goed mogelijk worden
ondervangen.
Dark Patterns p.123
Een goed voorbeeld is de OV-Chipkaart. Volgens
Marleen Stikker, directrice van de Amsterdamse Waag
Society, zijn bij het ontwerp van het OV-systeem
duidelijk geen kritische hackers of privacy-deskundigen
betrokken geweest49. Hierdoor doken er jarenlang
veiligheidsproblemen op, die werden aangekaart door
journalisten en hackers die zich zorgen maakten. Hoewel
de oude OV-chipkaarten inmiddels zijn vervangen door
duurdere, beter beveiligde varianten, blijft het systeem
nog altijd privacy-onvriendelijk. Zo is het bijvoorbeeld
onmogelijk om tegelijkertijd anoniem en met korting te
reizen, iets dat voorheen wel kon50. Doordat anoniem
reizen nu alleen tegen vol tarief mogelijk is, wordt dit
effectief ontmoedigd.
Slecht ontwerp kan zelfs levensgevaarlijk zijn. In 2015
bleek het mogelijk om een nieuw model auto’s van Jeep via
het internet over te nemen en op afstand de remmen in te
drukken of de motor uit te zetten51. De enige manier om
de software van updates te voorzien, was door een USBstick met update-software in het dashboard van de auto
te steken. Chrysler, het moederbedrijf van Jeep, besloot
toen om 1,4 miljoen Jeeps terug te roepen. Zo blijkt maar
weer dat er schrikbarend slecht wordt nagedacht over
de privacy en veiligheids-issues die kunnen ontstaan
gedurende de volledige gebruikscyclus van een product
of dienst.
Dit is een probleem dat al langer speelt. Volgens een
recente schatting door onderzoekers van het Franse
kenniscentrum Eurecom en de Duitse RuhrUniversität
is het, voor ongeveer een kwart van de op het internet
aangesloten apparaten, zeer eenvoudig om ze over te
nemen52. Deze apparaten zijn veelal te benaderen met
bekende standaard wachtwoorden.
De meeste problemen zullen niet snel worden opgelost.
Vaak zijn bedrijven traag met het aanbieden van updates
omdat het ze geld kost, iets dat een probleem vormt bij
veel Android smartphones. In andere gevallen is er wel een
oplossing beschikbaar, maar bereikt die het systeem niet.
In het geval van de Jeeps van Chrysler moest er handmatig
een USB-stick in het dashboard worden ingevoerd. Zo is er
altijd een percentage apparaten dat door haar gebruikers
niet geüpdatet wordt53. In het ergste geval is het product
een flop, bereikt het ‘end of life’ status of gaat het bedrijf
failliet. De meeste mensen blijven deze apparaten toch
gebruiken.
Zelfs een up-to-date apparaat kan morgen onveilig
blijken wanneer hackers een nieuw lek ontdekken.
Software bouwen is en blijft mensenwerk.
Er gebeurt dus van alles tijdens de levensloop van een
'slim' product. Het is belangrijk dat een organisatie samen
met een ontwerper op mogelijke problemen anticipeert
en snel op in leert spelen. Dat kan door handleidingen en

VOORBEELD
My Little Piece of Privacy
Het interactieve kunstwerk ‘My Little Piece of
Privacy’ van kunstenaar Niklas Roy bestaat uit een
klein verticaal gordijntje in een verder groot leeg
raam. Wanneer er een voorbijganger langs loopt
gaat het kleine gordijntje precies voor hem hangen,
zodat hij alsnog niet goed naar binnen kan kijken.
Hoe belangrijk het is om je aan het publieke oog te kunnen
onttrekken werd mooi duidelijk in het project Super
Stream Me van de VPRO26. De makers, Tim den Besten
en Nicolaas Veul, hadden gepland dat ze drie weken lang
hun hele leven live via het internet zouden uitzenden.
Zelfs wanneer ze sliepen of naar de toilet gingen waren ze
in beeld en te beluisteren. Er ontstond een brede schare
online volgers.
Uiteindelijk maakten ze maar twee weken vol: het was
psychisch te zwaar om continu ‘de beste versie van jezelf’
te moeten spelen.

The Divergent and
Convergent Thinking Book
By Dorte Nielsen
Creativity research shows that dividing
thinking into divergent and convergent
forms improves and increases idea
production; this leads to unexpected
thoughts and original solutions.
Divergent thinking is used to generate
ideas; convergent thinking helps in selecting the best ideas.
The concept of divergent and convergent thinking is so integral to the creative
process and innovative thinking that it is
known as ‘the heartbeat of creativity’. It is
the underlying rhythm of creative thinking.
This book is an introduction to divergent
and convergent thinking and includes
guidelines to enhance innovative thinking, as well as hands-on exercises to
strengthen creativity.
• An introduction to divergent and
convergent thinking.
• Guidelines to enhance innovative
thinking.
• Hands-on exercises to strengthen
creativity.
The concept of the book is supported by
its triangular shape, illustrating divergent
and convergent thinking: the top half of the
book communicates divergent thinking,
while the bottom half communicates
convergent thinking. This principle remains
the same throughout the book.

Read Nothing in Here
21 things you should know
about nothing
By Seema Sharma
The word nothing might sound like a fart
in the wind. A useless word that no one
would bother to think about. But you might
have forgotten that the greatest
mathematicians have struggled with the
question of where nothing begins and
where it ends. The most brilliant
philosophers have examined the meaning
of nothingness for ages. Some of the
world’s greatest thinkers have been racking
their brains on whether there is even such
a thing as nothing. In this book you will
learn everything about nothing.
This book is for the curious, the smart
asses, and the conversation starters. And
for everyone who needs more of nothing in
their daily life. ‘Read Nothing in Here’ is an
unscientific exploration into the meaning,
function, history, and misuse of the word
nothing. This is what makes this the first
real book about nothing.
• A fun read for everyone who needs
more of nothing in daily life.
• Full of facts and beautiful illustrations
about nothing.
• By the same author of BIS Publishers’
‘Write Nothing in Here’.
Seema Sharma is a Dutch creative and
copywriter who creates ideas out of
nothing on a daily basis. What started
as a personal method to find
original ideas, turned out to be a
valuable source of inspiration for many
creators, thinkers, and inventors. Her
goal is to inspire more people to create
ideas, thoughts, and things out of
nothing.

Outsider Art Memory
Game
By Anja Brunt
‘Outsider Art Memory Game’ collects
authentic works of art produced by off-beat
artists. The task, as always, is to collect
two cards that make one set. In this case,
two artworks by the same artist. The sets
are clearly recognisable by the style and
expression of the artwork. To help, the
brochure includes all the artworks in pairs
and brief descriptions about the artists.
The artists in this game do not
consider art of the past; they have no
formal artistic training and some are
residents of psychiatric institutions. Their
creativity has developed outside the
framework of the mainstream art world
and is largely ignored by it.
• Includes beautiful, self-taught, and
non-academic artworks.
• Surprising different art styles.
Works of these kinds have traditionally
been disregarded and treated as ‘not real
art’. However, in recent decades this has
started to change. Works of art produced
by ‘outsiders’ are increasingly shown at
major venues like MoMA New York, the
Centre Pompidou in Paris, and last year’s
Venice Biennale.
Anja Brunt is a graphic designer with
extensive experience in illustration. Her
‘Make a Face Memory Game’, which is
full of funny faces created with
everyday materials, was published by
BIS Publishers.

A (Not So) Global Design
Manual for Visual
Communication
The Secret of the
Highly Creative Thinker
How Seeing Connections Can
Enhance Your Creativity
By Ruben Pater
By Dorte Nielsen and Sarah Thurber
Many designs in today’s society encounter
audiences of various cultures speaking different
languages. With communication comes
responsibility; are designers aware of the
meaning and impact of their work? An image
or symbol that is acceptable in one culture
can be offensive or even harmful in the next.
A typeface or colour in a design might appear
neutral, however its meaning is always culturally
dependent. If designers learn to be aware of
global cultural contexts, we can avoid stereotyping and help to improve mutual understanding
between people.
Over the years, there’s a need for a book on
creativity that complements the teaching of
creative process and tools, and gives you a
practical approach to how to enhance your
innate ability to think creatively.
‘The Politics of Design’ highlights the
importance of visual literacy when communicating beyond borders and cultures. It explores
the cultural meaning behind symbols, maps,
photography, typography, and colours used
every day. It is a practical guide for design and
communication professionals, as well as
students to create more effective and
responsible visual communication.

from Amsterdam, the Netherlands. He works

they need to enhance their own innate creativity

Are We There Yet?
Insights on How to
Lead by Design
Don’t Read This Book
Time Management for
Creative People
By Sam Bucolo
By Donald Roos
The book addresses a fundamental question:
are innovation efforts aligned with current
challenges, such as high costs, global
competition, low productivity, and technology
disruptions? Our education system is geared
towards solving known problems through an
inductive thinking mindset. We have relied on
massive investments in technology as a source
of competitive advantage, while growth is
declining. To maintain our standard of living,
firms must grow.
As creative people, we have ideas. Some of us
have many ideas, others have really good ones,
and most of us have many really good ideas.
But most of these never see the light of day.
Why? If you ask a creative person, the answer
will always revolve around time. We simply need
time to execute an idea (and do it well)—more
time than we have.
Firms, therefore, should implement a new
approach to innovation; one that focuses on
customer engagement in its business model.
The concept of design thinking is often
described as the mindset required for firms to
make this transition. But with so much written
on design thinking, why do so many firms
struggle to adopt this mindset and make this
transition?
Sam Bucolo is a leading academic and
practitioner in the emerging field of design-led innovation and has led projects that
have transformed businesses by embedding
design capability. As Professor of Design
and Innovation at the University of
Technology Sydney, he leads a team
investigating the value of design-led
innovation for the Australian economy.

• Understand the practical steps to
achieve this and how firms need to be
supported along this journey.
Don’t Read This Book focuses on how to make
choices about everything you do in your daily
creative practice and life. The book follows the
‘To Don’t List’ method: When you say ‘no’ to one
idea, you have more time to execute another
one. In short: the more you subtract, the more
focus and time you get. The book is divided into
three parts: Life, Workplace, and Projects. It
covers everything from defining your life goals,
to writing a five sentence-long email, to leaving
out as much as possible in a project. Whether
you are a student or professional, this book will
save you time. (Of course, if you don’t read it,
you will save some time directly.)

The Fast Guide to
Architectural Form
By Baires Raffaelli
Research, in almost every field of human
knowledge, has practical goals. In architecture,
however, research is often purely theoretically,
conducted by insiders for other insiders,
running the risk of being limited to the
academic world.
‘The Fast Guide to Architectural Form’, while
remaining on theoretical ground, is a very
practical guide to basic forms and shapes in
architectural planning and design. The book is
foremost a visual guide. The author presents 60
architectural basic forms with schematic
illustrations and images of the forms applied
to buildings. The text is extremely short, and
focuses on the do’s and don’ts of the forms,
inlcuding tips to apply them. It is perfect for
students and architects seeking inspiration
and guidance.
Baires Raffaelli is an architect and a
lecturer at the University of Rome. His main
interests are architectural projects. He is
also one of the founders of the BrrE Group.

Art Is Everywhere
How to Really Look at Things
By Lorenzo, SerraGlia, Servi
Have you ever wondered why our senses
become more alert and sensitive and we see
things that continuously surprise and inspire
us when we visit a city for the first time as a
tourist? On the other hand, why does it often
seem that nothing extraordinary or exceptional
happens during our daily routine? Is it possible
to discover something wonderful and special
without necessarily visiting museums, monuments, or places that are different from where
we habitually go?
‘Art is Everywhere’ combines science, hands-on
practices used in art workshops, and clear and
simple language to answer these questions
(and raise others). This book includes
illustrations and aims to stimulate readers to
observe the world as they have never seen
it before by suggesting that ordinary things
can be seen differently and how art, if made
more accessible to everyone, can help in this
process.
The author inspires the reader to see the world
with a renewed perspective and to discover art
in everyday objects. The supplementary
workshop can be applied effectively in art
education starting from secondary school level.
SerraGlia is the alias of Lorenzo Servi, an
Italian architect and visual designer/artist
based in Helsinki, Finland.

actions and methods of working. This

practices, as well as supporting tools.

Strategy Through Design
How to Create Meaningful
Concepts
Expressing design in the form of a code
makes it possible for each layer of the
service enterprise to execute the design
(code) in a fast and parallel manner, in
order to deliver what has been promised
at a much lower cost. For this purpose,
the book introduces a system and
method that goes beyond blueprints and
customer journey maps to broaden the
appeal of service design for strategists,
economists, and budget analysts.
Conceptual thinking involves adding

‘Concept Coding’ guides you through
each stage of bringing life to an idea in
order for it to grow into a fully matured
concept. It also gives insight into the
importance of the consumer’s mindset in
order to make your concept successful.

Don’t Read This Book
Insights on How to Lead
by Design
Time Management for
Creative People
The fundamental question that the book
addresses is, Are our innovation efforts
aligned to the challenges of our times?
If we want to maintain our standard of
living, we need firms to grow. Firms
therefore need a new approach to
innovation, one that focuses on customer
engagement in its business model. The
concept of design thinking is often
described as the mindset for firms to
make this transition.
We simply need time to execute an idea
(and do it well)—more time than we
have. Don’t Read This Book focuses on
how to make choices about everything
you do in your daily creative practice and
life. The book fol-lows the ‘To Don’t List’
method: When you say ‘no’ to one idea,
you have more time to execute another
one. In short: the more you subtract, the
more focus and time you get. Whether
you are a student or professional, this
book will save you time.

Simplicity: A Matter of
Design
George Lois is an American icon in
graphic design. This book showcases
his logos with his own comments on why
they work. His Big Idea branding and
logo design, developed with a built-in,
conceptual, “catchy” brand name, can
visually impart information in a
nanosecond, delivering a specific ethos
with a penetrating promise of power that
immediately sears a product’s virtues into
a viewers’ brain—and has the potential of
bringing instantaneous success.
As the world becomes increasingly
complex and complicated, simplicity
becomes increasingly in demand. We all
seek simplicity in small or large measure.
We strive to create simplicity at work and
at home. Simplicity: A Matter of Design
offers a set of terms that will allow us to
discuss simplicity in design with
precision. It looks into the basics of
simplicity and researches more in depth
three aspects of design: functionality,
aesthetics and ethics. There is an extra
chapter on simplicity in communication.

highlighting techniques and practices
that apply to studio work and

There will be three main sections with

Material Alchemy has been devised
to showcase the most innovative,

to materials within the 21st century.
Enlisting the help of luminaries from the
world of science, technology, and design
showcases new responses to material
innovation and provides key insights into
how material will be utilised
to shape our future environments.
A book on sketching for product
designers has long been desired. The
lack of a good manual led the authors
of this book, who both teach design
drawing techniques, to take the task
into their own hands. The result is an
incredibly broad and practical survey
of sketching techniques for product
designers. This book can be regarded as
a standard book on design sketching for

ViP Vision in Design
Meta Products
The Form of Design
This is a fully illustrated book with
over one thousand product sketches
organized in -chapters covering the main
product categories that designers design
for, such as furniture, electronic devices,
household appliances, accessories,
garments, et cetera. A wonderfully

The authors, design practitioners
and educators bringing together 15
years of knowledge in this publication
have produced the first book on how
designers can formulate a vision for new
and appropriate products. They call this
approach Vision in Product Design (ViP).
The approach strikes a good balance
between structuring the process of
design and allowing the designers to
take a personal position and fully express
themselves in the process of producing
a product.
Over the last few years, the web has
become the standard for advertising,
-communication, socialising and so on.
However, we are living in a world of
atoms, filled with things created either
by nature or by ourselves. It will become
more and more useful to get physical
-products connected to the web. Design
studio Booreiland is taking on the
adventure of designing these Meta
Products.
The Form of Design is the first
all-encompassing book about the visual
language of man-made products. It
explains how mass produced objects
evolve over time and what made them
change. In the book the author
materializes the governing rules of form
evolution by means of 14 case studies.
These case studies encompass a
diversity of product families such as
smart phones and bicycles, coffee
machines and chairs, accompanied by
charts and numerous illustrations that
illuminate and elucidate the evolutionary
processes involved.

who have taken on different roles as
authors or producers of their own
projects.

The In Vitro Meat
Cookbook
Some researchers expect that in vitro
meat could provide a sustainable and
animal-friendly alternative to
conventional meat. Because in vitro meat
is still in an early phase of development,
this is a cookbook which cannot be used
for cooking just yet. The author’s aim is
not to promote lab-grown meat, but to
visualize a wide range of possible new
dishes and food cultures to help us
decide what future we -actually want.

Modern Living
This book is a collection of in-depth
interviews with the most influential type
designers in the business as well as
up-and-coming young guns about the
motives and methods behind their
typefaces. The interviews have been
published before in the monthly
newsletter of MyFonts.com, the world’s
largest web shop for digital fonts based
in the USA.
Few of us will appreciate whether the
typeface we read is legible, but we
quickly notice if it is not. Creating type for
optimal legibility is therefore an
ungrateful task, since readers only
register your failures. This book will
not only help type designers create
high-legibility typefaces, but also help
graphic designers determine the optimal
typeface for a given project.
Writing, typesetting and printing have
become part of almost everyone’s
experience. However, many users are
clueless about how fonts work and
how to communicate best with readers.
Shaping Text takes a practical and broad
approach to typography. It examines the
constituting elements of graphic
products, including type, image,
ornament, layout, and color.
This is the fourth monograph of Studio
Kluif, following Purists are Boring,
Pacifist Punks and Ideas are Immortal.
Work Hard Play Harder is packed with
new creative projects and proves that
they still master the magic of attractive
designs that go right to the core and the
hearts of the public.
This book and full-length DVD show the
unparalleled and offbeat work of one of
the most original and popular animators
around: Han Hoogerbrugge. Topics
include animation and sound design
for his groundbreaking flash animation
series Hotel, Nails and of course Modern

that will allow designers to put the art
into practice.
Written for fashion graduates, those in
entry-level positions within the industry
and fledgling entrepreneurs, this book

In a follow-up to the overview Modern

of Pro Stress, the Internet project that
occupies Han Hoogerbrugge on a daily
basis. In the work of draftsman and
animator Han Hoogerbrugge, the artist
wrestles with humour in everyday life and
investigates his obsessions, neuroses
and emotions. In over 200 short
cartoons, Hoogerbrugge observes the
world and people like David Lynch, Nick
Cave and Dr. Phil.
This is the second album of Pro Stress,
the hilarious but also sometimes
uncomfortable daily comic by Han
Hoogerbrugge. Pro Stress #2 collects
over 200 new short cartoons in which
Hoogerbrugge observes the world, in
delightfully humorous fashion. Besides
the protagonist, who has always been
an alter ego of Hoogerbrugge himself,
the comics depict such famous figures
as Silvio Berlusconi, Vladimir Putin, Karl
Lagerfeld, the Pope and many more.

Folding Architecture
Supersurfaces
Soft Shells
Folding is a relatively new trend in
architecture. It’s a very playful way of
designing and offers free rein to
spontaneity during the design process.
This book gives insight into the
possibilities together with results of the
research the architectural faculty of TU
Delft conducted into this technique since
2001. Vividly illustrated with a survey of
much-discussed concepts, projects and
buildings.
This is the sequel to Folding Architecture.
It shows the results of Sophia Vyzoviti’s
design method of design through folding.
The research in here goes a step further
using more durable materials than paper
but with similar qualities. The booklet
makes clear how the technique of folding
can be applied not only in architecture,
but also to industrial, product or textile
manufacture.
Soft Shells is a follow-up title to Sophia
Vyzoviti’s bestselling books, Folding
Architecture and Supersurfaces. Soft
Shells investigates textile as a retronovel
architectural device which is porous and
deployable. The book is lavishly
illustrated with form experiments and
has three essays that provide the reader
with a state-of-the-art context for the
architectural discourse on
form-generative surface.

This inspirational book seeks to discover
the architectural potential of biological
structures as can be found in nature,
in the world of seashells, corals, plants
and animals. The structures that give
biological forms strength, movement and
firmness are studied, illustrated and used
as an inspiration for design experiments.
This book presents studies in
architectural form focusing on the
relationships between force, form and
space to develop structure. The design
processes of different structures vary
from inherently unstable forms to
multi-span spaces in buildings to the
creation of multi-layered spaces within
physical shells.

connection between volumes, if
-applicable, and openings within the
volumes. The conditions presented are
not definitive, but are meant to serve as
explorations of an iterative process.

Operative Design
The core idea for this book is the use of
operative verbs as tools for designing
space. These operative verbs abstract
the idea of spatial formation to its most
basic terms. Examples of these verbs are
expand, inflate, nest, twist, lift, embed,
merge and many more. The verbs are
illustrated with threedimensional
diagrams and pictures of designs which
show the verbs ‘in action’.

A witty, entertaining analysis of the new
trends and secret fashions in woman’s
intimate shaving styles. If you’d never
considered the possibility that style and
pubic shaving might go together, well
perhaps it would interest you to know
that this new trend is both an instrument
of characterization as well as a trend, a
contemporary ‘must’ if you intend to face
the ‘unexpected’ encounter while keeping
your head held high. An essential guide
for a complete update on the matter.

Somethink Completely
Different
Save the Humans!
Somethink Completely Different is about
playing with words differently, making you
smile differently, textually inspiring you
differently and inviting you to contemplate
things in a slightly different way. Text
artist Mwah has created his own
distinctive signature by getting to the
core of situations and emotions and
turning them into creative and witty
one-liners that are recognizable, yet
fresh at the same time.
We are becoming increasingly intimate
with the machines that constantly count,
control and watch the way we live. How
can the growing world population of more
than 7 billion people create a humane life
for everyone? Let’s find the errors and
the holes in the technosphere that will
give us space for free and
creative thinking. What’s at stake here is
the remains of human agency. Let’s use
the brain pixels that are not taken yet.
And Save the Humans!

Art rules the world. But what about the
rules of art? It may seem that art should
never be bounded by rules, but there
are strong rules that live in the world
of art. This book contains 51 art rules
and quotes by artists and critics who
think there is something the rule, or just
strongly oppose it.
Ridiculous Film Rules is the sixth book in
the Ridiculous Design Rules series and
is meant for movie lovers, silver-screen
starlets and the people who get to yell
‘cut’ and ‘action’ on set. It contains 51
movie-related rules, their history and
quotes by industry leaders, Hollywood
big shots, indie directors and a whole list
of actors and actresses.
The international fashion police is a
force to be reckoned with. Armed with an
endless list of rules, it acts as both judge
and jury in dealing with those guilty of
committing a crime against fashion.
While some of these rules are nothing
short of ridiculous, others serve as words
of wisdom that can help prevent
committing a fashion faux pas.
This is the fifth book in the Ridiculous
Design Rules series. This one is about
ridiculous – or not? – rules in typography.
A joy for type designers and everyone
who has anything to do with designing

The paper you read, the magazine you

that advertising has been called the

This book, the 7th volume in the
Ridiculous Design Rules series, contains
51 photography rules that will appeal
to both the professional photographer
and the enthusiastic amateur. Rules that
some will consider words of wisdom,
while other perceive them as ridiculous
guidelines that need to be twisted or
broken altogether.
The world of design is inundated with a
seemingly endless list of rules. They’re
familiar sayings that some designers
consider to be valuable words of wisdom,
but others think of them as mere
restrictions. Whichever side of the fence
you are sitting on, you’re bound to find
this book a source of inspiration.
This volume in the Ridiculous Design
Rules series is about rules in the use
of the Web. It is not only about web
design, but also about rules that apply
to communicating through the Internet.
For each of the 51 rules covered, Van
Gaalen refers to quotes by famous
designers who think there is something
to the rule or who have made it their own.

facial expression, the style of painting,
and attributes like clothes and hairstyle.

Outsider art Memory
Game
‘Outsider art’ is a collective term used to
describe authentic works of art produced
by off-beat artists who listen only to the
voices within themselves. They do not
consider the art of the past, they have no
formal artistic training, and some of them
are resident in psychiatric institutions.
Their creativity has developed outside
the framework of the mainstream art
world and is largely ignored by it. The
task is to find two cards of the same
artist.
The game is simple, you have
to choose!
Dilemmarama turns the old question into
a social and exciting game full of hard
choices with rough edges and quirky
options, to laugh about, discuss, and
battle over. The creators brought the
‘Would you rather’ question to new
heights by adding funny illustrations and
by inventing some tricky rules so you
can play Dilemmarama with your friends
as a game.

Fake for Real Memory
Game
The cards of this new memory game
depict all kinds of funny faces created
with everyday DIY materials such as
paper, cardboard, elastic bands,
brushes, buttons, etcetera. Your task, as
ever, is to find the matching faces made
with the same materials. Playing the
game gives you tons of inspiration for
creating your own faces or other figures
with everyday materials.
Street Style Memory Game challenges
players to find combinations of young
people with special characteristics
and street-style clothing. These are
beautiful photographs of people from
all nationalities, photographed in the
streets of Amsterdam during 2009. For
the game, the pictures have been cut
in two. Based on their clothing, their
attitudes and backgrounds of the people
in the photographs, players can join the
slightly enlarged faces with the rest of
the bodies.
This is the new third edition of Barbara
Iweins’ much applauded Street Style
Memory Game. The first two versions of
this game sold over 15,000 copies and
the international press was unanimous:
The Cool Hunter declared it one of the
coolest products of the year; Vogue
Italy named it an excellent exercise for
aspiring Vogueistas; Wired loved it and
Nylon just called it brilliant.
The photographs on the playing cards of
this game are picture montages sampled
from images imprinted on our visual
memory as icons of the mass culture
in which we live. This surprising and
contemporary version of the memory
game is great fun to play and good for
training people’s power to remember. It
guarantees hours of amusement around
the kitchen or dining room table.
The images of Fake For Real Memory
Game – both historical and contemporary – playfully visualise the classic
theme of fake and real. The fun isn’t
just in playing the memory game, but
also in the surprising, slightly dissimilar
images. Can you tell what is fake and
what is real?

Brand Memory Game
This game is all about knowledge of
brands. Hendrik-Jan Grievink has made
a selection of 30 internationally
well-known brands, showing neither logo
nor name on the images. The challenge
is to find matching sets, based solely on
their style elements and characteristic
colours and a short description of the
brand. Playing this game offers great
fun and an excellent test of your brand
knowledge.

Memory Game
The Quick Brown Fox
Jumps Over The Lazy Dog
Marije Vogelzang, author of the
successful Eat Love book, adds a
fantastic game to the BIS list of memory
games; unsurprisingly, it is all about food.
Marije Vogelzang selected food that has
a specific and consistent effect on our
body. The task is to correctly match a
food to its effect on our body. Examples
include cola and burping, garlic and bad
breath and pepper and sneezing.
Everyday objects get a whole new
meaning or come to life by adding small
sketches to them. This is the principle for
this new poetic and funny memory game.
One card shows an everyday object and
the matching card makes you look at
the object in a different way because the
artist added a little drawing.
This attractively finished typographic
memory game includes 25 variations
of the letter ‘A.’ Players attempt to find
matching cards and the one who has
most sets wins the game. Information
about the letter is included on the card,
and a separate folder provides a general
history of typography.

London Memory Game
Play Van Abbe
London Memory Game is made up of 25
pairs of cards on typical London themes:
Big Ben, shopping, London architecture,
bridges, pubs, museums, greasy food,
et cetera. Creatively visualised, it is an
extra treat to play a game while getting
to know the city better and from a new
perspective. A folder that gives insight
into the chosen subjects is included.
The Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven is
famous for its experimental approach
towards art’s role in society. Its collection
includes key works by Lissitzky, Chagall
and Picasso. It is no sur-prise that the
museum welcomed the idea of creating
a memory game. The sets have striking
similarities in subject or technique, but
are never by the same artist.

Alles is Onderhandelen
Creëer in 7 stappen inzicht
in de kunst van het
onderhandelen
Onderhandelen doe je dagelijks. Alleen heb je
het vaak niet in de gaten en/of ben je er zelf
niet bewust van. Dagelijks ben je thuis en in je
werkomgeving bezig met samenwerken,
problemen oplossen of omgaan met
meningsverschillen of zelfs conflicten.
De Europese Denktank heeft in haar
trendanalyse voor 2020 onderhandelen als een
van de belangrijkste competenties genoemd.
In de werkomgeving is er namelijk veel aan het
veranderen. Bedrijven worden minder
hiërarchisch en er zal meer samengewerkt
worden, zowel binnen organisaties als daarbuiten. Juist in die context is het van belang om
goed te kunnen onderhandelen wat betreft
verwachtingen, beelden, besluitvormingsprocessen en het verdelen van de lusten en de
lasten op korte en lange termijn. Bij deze toenemende behoefte aan onderhandelingsinzichten
reikt dit boek de juiste handvaten daarvoor aan.
Dit boek past 7 fundamentele principes toe
zodat je de reis van het onderhandelen eigen
kunt maken. Het boek bouwt voort op de grondleggende theorie van Getting to Yes. Het geeft
inzicht in je persoonlijke valkuilen en laat je
bewuster en wendbaarder omgaan met de toenemende complexiteit van een onderhandeling.
Dit boek geeft antwoord op de meestgestelde
vragen uit de trainings- en coachingspraktijk
van de auteur in de laatste 20 jaar.
Geurt Jan de Heus is als trainer en coach
werkzaam bij RoutsLaeven, sinds 1999 is hij
één van de twee partners van het bureau.
Hij heeft medicijnen gestudeerd in Utrecht.
Na zijn studie heeft hij negen jaar in divers
marketing- en salesmanagement functies
in de farmaceutische/ chemische industrie
gewerkt.

Design My Privacy
8 Principes voor beter
privacy design
Door Tijmen Schep en het MOTI
Onze privacy staat onder druk. Het lijkt soms
alsof de computer precies weet wat onze
wensen zijn of waarnaar we op zoek zijn. We
klikken, liken en appen er ijverig op los. Het
internet weet precies wie we zijn en biedt ons
allerhande gratis informatie. Maar achter de
slimme producten en diensten zitten
overheden en grote multinationals die ons
gedrag vastleggen en onze persoonlijke
gegevens verzamelen.
Deze publicatie wil designers ertoe aanzetten
te gaan ontwerpen voor privacy issues. De
techniek achter de slimme producten en
systemen is zo complex, dat het voor de
consument moeilijk te begrijpen is wat de
gevolgen zijn voor het alledaagse leven.
Designers moeten gaan meedenken over
transparantie en toegankelijkheid in het
ontwerp van privacygevoelige producten en
diensten.
Deze publicatie biedt de designer handvatten in
de vorm van acht designprincipes die helpen
bij het ontwerpen van producten en diensten.
Het zijn de designers die een bijdrage kunnen
leveren aan een betere wereld.
Tijmen Schep studeerde in 2008 af aan de
Universiteit van Utrecht op de Ubiquitous
Computing ideologie. Momenteel is hij
adviseur op het gebied van digitale cultuur,
creatieve industrie en publieksparticipatie.
Hij adviseert overheden en organisaties bij
het ontwikkelen van concepten en projecten
die cultuur, technologie en publieksbereik
combineren

Think Like a Manager
Door Harry Starren
In navolging van het succesvolle Think Like
a Lawyer Don’t Act Like One presenteren we
dit boek dat, in hetzelfde formaat, 75 extreme
korte en visuele managementlessen bevat.
Net zoals een advocaat is ook een manager
een professional waar behoorlijk wat mensen
problemen mee kunnen ervaren. Keer op keer
lijken de fouten die managers maken in het
zelfde patroon te passen.
Het boek heeft 5 onderdelen:
* doe goede dingen (leiderschap)
* doe dingen goed (organiseren)
* doe dingen samen (samenwerken)
* doe dingen voor de toekomst (strategie)
* doe dingen anders (het einde van
management, zoals wij het kennen).
Harry Starren is een Nederlands schrijver en
docent. Hij studeerde geschiedenis aan de
Rijksuniversiteit Utrecht en
politicologie/bestuurskunde aan de
Universiteit van Amsterdam. Harry was
onder meer werkzaam als wetenschappelijk
onderzoeker, universitair docent en
directeur van een onderzoeks- en adviesbureau. Naast zijn managementfunctie is hij
nu actief als trainer, docent en adviseur, met
name op het gebied van het management
van professionele organisaties.

ALS HET NIET
KAN ZOALS
HET MOET,
MOET HET
ZOALS HET KAN
Doorzetten is voor ondernemers de cruciale eigenschap, want
ergens mee beginnen kunnen we allemaal. Doorzetten lijkt strijdig met
flexibiliteit, maar het is zaak in te zien wat kan. En daarnaast de moed
om te besluiten iets anders te doen, als het toch niet blijkt te
kunnen. De Nederlandse politicus Jan de Koning had er een gevleugelde uitdrukking voor: 'Als het niet kan zoals het moet, dan moet het zoals
het kan'. Want doorzetten in het onmogelijke is koppig, maar in zo'n
situatie een andere weg zoeken noemen we vastberaden.

SCHAARSTE

(en overvloed een vloek)
Nood leert bidden, werd bij ons thuis gezegd. Zoiets is er misschien ook aan de hand met schaarste. Schaarste maakt vindingrijk.
Zo klaagde Vincent van Gogh bij zijn broer die hem geregeld verfmateriaal zond dat zijn situatie uiterst penibel was, omdat hij nog bijna
uitsluitend 'geel' had.

BUITEN
De grootste stappen in de gezondheidszorg in de negentiende
eeuw zijn niet gezet door medici, de insiders, maar door ingenieurs,
de outsiders. Zij legden de waterleiding aan en brachten ons moderne riolen. De levensverwachting van de bevolking ging met
sprongen vooruit. Of neem het openbaar vervoer. Daar is de kwaliteit enorm verbeterd toen het spoorboekje het verloor van de
smartphone. Reizen is een fluitje van een cent geworden. Recent
onderzoek maakt duidelijk dat als we onze schoolklassen beter
zouden ventileren en kinderen zouden toe staan meer te bewegen
in de klas, hun toetsen met sprongen zouden verbeteren. Daar kan
geen leraar tegenop.

Conceptdenken
Van slapend naar levend
1 To 1: De Essentie van
Retail Branding en Design
Anthon Beeke is één van de grootste
namen uit de geschiedenis van
Nederlands ontwerp. In deze landmark
publicatie wordt voor het eerste zijn
indrukwekkende oeuvre bij elkaar
gebracht. Het boek is ingedeeld aan

Beeke’s leven een grote rol hebben
gespeeld.
Dit boek is het eerste Nederlandse boek
dat aan de hand van een twintigtal cases
de theorie en praktijk van conceptdenken
en conceptontwikkeling in kaart brengt.
Het kijkt in het bijzonder naar merken
in de creatieve industrie, bijvoorbeeld
op het gebied van entertainment, film,
food, mode, kunst, cultuur en media. De
creatieve industrie is vaak trendzettend
voor andere sectoren. Dat maakt
Conceptdenken interessant voor ieder
merk of organisatie.
Dit nieuwe boek van Michel van Tongeren
gaat over alle facetten van retail branding,
holistische formule-ontwikkeling en de
essen-tiële 1 op 1 relatie met de klant.
Het boek legt uit hoe ondernemers in
retail continu alert kunnen zijn op

De Vorm van Tekst
De Basis van Typografie
Kost
Iedereen is een typograaf. Dat moet de
conclusie wel zijn als je ziet hoe vaak
mensen vandaag de dag beslissingen
nemen over letterkeuze en layout. Toch
weten maar weinig computergebruikers
hoe letterfonts precies werken. De vorm
van tekst behandelt op praktische wijze
typografie in al zijn breedte en laat aan
de hand van vele voorbeelden zien hoe
en op welke manier typografie werkt.
Iedereen die teksten schrijft of publiceert,
wil dat zijn werk er ook mooi uit ziet. Toch
zijn er maar weinig mensen die doeltreffend typografisch kunnen vormgeven. De
basis van typografie is een ideale gids
voor iedere beginner, en staat vol
praktische tips om je teksten aantrekkelijk en goed leesbaar te maken, zowel op
papier als op het scherm.
Wie zich in de voedselketen verdiept, valt
van de ene verbazing in de andere;
obesitas en honger bestaan nog altijd
naast elkaar en wereldwijd verspillen we
evenveel voedsel als we opeten. Kost
biedt essays, interviews, (foto-)reportages en artikelen over projecten van
ontwerpers, kunstenaars en
wetenschappers waarvan het werk draait
om de waarde(n) van voedsel.
