In "The Bases of Design," Walter Crane provides a comprehensive exploration of decorative art principles, intertwining aesthetic philosophy with practical applications. This seminal work, set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, showcases Cranes unique blend of clear prose and illustrative detail. His keen observations on color theory, compositional harmony, and the interplay of form and function reflect the burgeoning Arts and Crafts movement, advocating for a return to craftsmanship and artistic integrity in an era dominated by industrialization. Cranes illustrations further enrich the text, serving not merely as embellishments but as integral components that exemplify his theories on design. Walter Crane (1845-1915) was a prominent illustrator and designer, renowned for his contributions to childrens literature and the broader decorative arts. As a key figure in the Arts and Crafts movement, Cranes commitment to molding artistic expression rooted in nature and community was likely influenced by his diverse background in art and design education. His experiences as an illustrator allowed him to blend practical craft with theoretical exploration, leading to the creation of this transformative text on design philosophy. Readers interested in the intersection of art and practical aesthetics will find "The Bases of Design" an invaluable resource. Cranes articulate synthesis of theory and visual examples not only illuminates the underlying principles of design but serves as a clarion call for artists and designers to engage with their craft thoughtfully and meaningfully.In this enriched edition, we have carefully created added value for your reading experience:- A succinct Introduction situates the works timeless appeal and themes.- The Synopsis outlines the central plot, highlighting key developments without spoiling critical twists.- A detailed Historical Context immerses you in the eras events and influences that shaped the writing.- A thorough Analysis dissects symbols, motifs, and character arcs to unearth underlying meanings.- Reflection questions prompt you to engage personally with the works messages, connecting them to modern life.- Handpicked Memorable Quotes shine a spotlight on moments of literary brilliance.- Interactive footnotes clarify unusual references, historical allusions, and archaic phrases for an effortless, more informed read.

In the spring of 2021, Slanted Publishers launches a global call for submissions and showcases of color. From more than 1,300 submissions, the works of 300 designers, illustrators, photographers, writers, and artists from around the world were selected to be part of Slanted Magazine #38Colours. The issue celebrates happiness, joy of life, power, symbolism, and the meaning of color. We look for contrast, colorful typography, gradients, fun, chaos, shock. We celebrate art, illustration, fashion, photographybut most of all we look for strong, meaningful graphic design though in a colorful way.Joan Miro said: "I try to apply colors like words that shape poems, like notes that shape music." Ultimately, this issue is an ode to the joy and happiness of life with all its gradations. Color is more than just fashion. It is a statement for an entire era!Im Fruhjahr 2021 startet Slanted Publishers einen weltweiten Aufruf, farbenfrohe Arbeiten einzureichen und damit Farbe zu bekennen. Aus mehr als 1.300 Einreichungen wurden Arbeiten von 300 Designer*innen, Illustrator*innen, Fotograf*innen, Autor*innen und Kunstler*innen aus der ganzen Welt ausgewahlt, die nun im Slanted Magazine #38Colours zu finden sind. Die Ausgabe zelebriert Gluck, Lebensfreude, Kraft, Symbolik und die Bedeutung von Farbe. Wir suchen nach Kontrasten, bunter Typografie, Farbverlaufen, Spa, Chaos, Schock. Wir feiern Kunst, Illustration, Mode, Fotografie aber vor allem suchen wir nach starkem, aussagekraftigem Grafikdesign, und zwar auf farbenfrohe Art und Weise.Joan Miro sagte: Ich versuche, Farben so einzusetzen wie Worte, die Gedichte formen, wie Noten, die Musik formen. Letztlich ist diese Ausgabe eine Ode an die Freude und an das Gluck des Lebens mit all seinen Nuancen. Farbe ist mehr als nur Mode. Sie ist ein Statement einer ganzen Ara!

Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) has becomebesides being an over-hyped buzzword across industries (that the design world is no exception to)a reality. We debate about the impacts of A.I. and its subsets, machine and deep learning, and consider everything from virtual to augmented realities, and how these technologies may change our lives, jobs, and social relationships altogether. We live in times where decisions about what we want are no longer under our control. While we believe to be free (at least in our western world), algorithms dictate our lives, hopes, and dreams. We are the parents and children, gods and slaves of the technology we invented: although its a masterpiece, there is a great dependence. If "algorithms will liberate themselves entirely from us," Peter Weibel proposes, dystopian science fictions may help us clarify what we desire and do not want. l.More than ever this issue made us adventurers: looking with doubtful eyes at this new world of computation, numbers, and transhumanism, where (OMG!) machines are in many areas smarter than us and, occasionally, even encoded with higher ethical and moral standards than we will ever have.Kunstliche Intelligenz (A.I.) ist abgesehen davon, dass es sich um ein branchenubergreifendes, uberhohtes Schlagwort handelt (bei dem die Designwelt keine Ausnahme bildet) zu einer Realitat geworden. Wir debattieren uber die Auswirkungen von A.I. und ihren Untergruppen, dem maschinellen und dem Deep Learning, und denken uber alles nach, von virtuellen bis hin zu erweiterten Realitaten und wie diese Technologien unser Leben, unsere Arbeit und unsere sozialen Beziehungen insgesamt verandern konnten. Wir leben in Zeiten, in denen wir nicht mehr selbst entscheiden konnen, was wir wollen. Wahrend wir glauben, frei zu sein (zumindest in unserer westlichen Welt), diktieren Algorithmen unser Leben, unsere Hoffnungen und Traume. Wir sind die Eltern und Kinder, Gotter und Sklaven der Technologie, die wir erfunden haben: Obwohl sie ein Meisterwerk ist, besteht eine groe Abhangigkeit. Wenn Algorithmen sich vollig von uns befreien, wie Peter Weibel vorschlagt, konnen dystopische Science-Fictions uns helfen zu verstehen, was wir wollen und was wir nicht wollen. Mehr denn je hat uns diese Ausgabe zu AbenteurerInnen gemacht: mit zweifelndem Blick auf diese neue Welt der Berechnung, der Zahlen und des Transhumanismus, in der (OMG!) Maschinen in vielen Bereichen schlauer sind als wir und gelegentlich sogar mit hoheren ethischen und moralischen Standards kodiert sind, als wir sie jemals haben werden.

The European Union with its 27 member states today is facing difficult times: financial crisis, refugees, loss of allies, and exit scenariosas implemented in the United Kingdomlead to fear and insecurity. Above all, we are also witnessing how the digital revolution is creating a new image of mankind. The technical possibilities are about to go beyond what is politically and morally imperative.So far, Slanted has devoted its editions to individual countries or metropolises in order to take a look at the design scenes. This time we are reacting towards the need of getting together and showing the importance of the voice we have and should use, to protect the freedom others have reached for us.Slanted Magazine #34Europe is a plea for a multi-faceted and vibrant Europe, against the backdrop of an Europe of nations, right-wing populism, and selfish politics. It is an inventory of Europe, showing a comment, a perspective, a feeling of illustrators, photographers, writers and graphic designers from all around Europe.Die Europaische Union mit ihren 27 Mitgliedsstaaten steht heute vor schwierigen Zeiten: Finanzkrise, Fluchtlinge, Verlust von Verbundeten und Austrittsszenarien - wie im Vereinigten Konigreich umgesetzt - fuhren zu Angst und Verunsicherung. Vor allem aber erleben wir, wie die digitale Revolution ein neues Bild des Menschen schafft. Die technischen Moglichkeiten sind dabei, das politisch und moralisch Gebotene zu ubersteigen.Bisher hat Slanted seine Ausgaben einzelnen Landern oder Metropolen gewidmet, um einen Blick auf die Designszenen zu werfen. Diesmal reagieren wir auf die Notwendigkeit, sich zusammenzuschlieen und zu zeigen, wie wichtig die Stimme ist, die wir haben und nutzen sollten, um die Freiheit zu schutzen, die andere fur uns erreicht haben.Slanted Magazine #34-Europe ist ein Pladoyer fur ein facettenreiches und lebendiges Europa, vor dem Hintergrund eines Europas der Nationen, des Rechtspopulismus und der egoistischen Politik. Es ist eine Bestandsaufnahme Europas, die einen Kommentar, eine Perspektive, ein Gefuhl von Illustrator*innen, Fotograf*innen, Schriftsteller*innen und Grafikdesigner*innen aus ganz Europa zeigt.
