Today's world is so flooded with images and information that only the freshest new designs get noticed. But dominating trends and carbon-copy successes often trap designers in been there, done that mediocrity. Inspiration = Ideas helps artists kick their work out of the clone zone and journey into new, uncharted visual territory. The book introduces readers to found design, where inspiration flows not from successful finished designs, but from textures, colors, patterns, and primitive and offbeat imagery. From indigenous design (Brazilian canned good labels), traditional patterns (the hennaed hands of Indian brides), and captivating textures and materials (ikat paper) -- to examples of current local commercial design on simple things like food packaging -- this well-traveled sourcebook brings an endless stream of rare global images and ideas straight to designer's doorsteps. Complete with frequent sidebars that explore how successful designers are inspired by and have used found design in their work, this exotic visual tour will enable artists to bring their work from common and bland to original and beautiful.

The days when dogs ran without leashes and ate table scraps are long gone. Most pups today eat in the kitchen, play in the living room, and sleep in humans’ beds at night. Along with these changes come higher expectations for dogs’ behavior in order to ensure order, safety, and years of fun. Veterinarian and writer Quixi Sonntag teaches readers how to handle the modern needs of their dogs. Focusing on the psychological effects of breed development and conditioning, Sonntag stresses the importance of regular training and offers step-by-step exercises that range from basic to challenging for owners and their dogs to do together. This is the ideal book for dog owners who want their dogs to be happy, healthy family members.
