About this title

Synopsis

Provocative Graphics is a unique swipe file book focused on sexy, bold, daring, innovative, playful, quirky, and thought provoking design work that pushes the boundaries of what is acceptable, taking the viewer places they do not expect to go. Famous examples of provocative graphics are Bennetton s controversial identity campaigns and Calvin Klein s head-turning clothing advertisements. Consumer s are bombarded with an overwhelming amount of choices, as a result designer s resort to the shock factor or an in your face style. Provocative graphics turn heads. The author discusses how the design firms and their clients conceived and developed these projects and focuses on why these designs work and what elements in them (both conceptual and technical) make the consumer respond.

Shipping Terms

SHIPPING CHARGES: Please note that about 13.5% of the shipping and handling charge is retained by AbeBooks as a fee levied against the bookseller and not passed along for purchasing postage and packaging supplies. That is much of the reason why the shipping charge is significantly higher than actual postage costs. This is especially true for international shipping where international postal costs are high to begin with. Occasionally (such as when ordering a set of books) it will be necessary for us to ask domestic buyers for some additional shipping funds. In this case, after confirming your book(s) is available, we will ask AbeBooks to request appropriate additional shipping charges. In practice, this is a rare occurrence on domestic orders. See below for international shipping. PACKING: All books will be carefully packed to insure safe arrival. We use either quality shipping boxes or other shipping containers augmented by bubble, paper cushioning, or cardboard chipboard to insure safe delivery in the same condition as book was sent. INTERNATIONAL ORDERS: Our default shipping cost is for shipping in a flat rate global priority envelope, small box, or flat rate bag. If your book is too large or too expensive to ship in these containers we will be asking AbeBooks to request adequate additional funds so we can ship your book safely and securely. All international shipments will be listed as books-merchandise on customs forms with value as actual invoice cost. No exceptions. If you have any concerns, please contact us via e mail prior to placing an order for an accurate shipping quotation.
