About this product

Product Information

THE ART OF LOOKING SIDEWAYS is a primer in visual intelligence, an exploration of the workings of the eye, the hand, the brain and the imagination. It is an inexhaustible mine of anecdotes, quotations, images, curious facts and useless information, oddities, serious science, jokes and memories, all concerned with the interplay between the verbal and the visual, and the limitless resources of the human mind. Loosely arranged in 72 chapters, all this material is presented in a wonderfully inventive series of pages that are themselves masterly demonstrations of the expressive use of type, space, colour and imagery. This book does not set out to teach lessons, but it is full of wisdom and insight collected from all over the world. Describing himself as a visual jackdaw, master designer Alan Fletcher has distilled a lifetime of experience and reflection into a brilliantly witty and inimitable exploration of such subjects as perception, colour, pattern, proportion, paradox, illusion, language, alphabets, words, letters, ideas, creativity, culture, style, aesthetics and value. THE ART OF LOOKING SIDEWAYS is the ultimate guide to visual awareness, a magical compilation that will entertain and inspire all those who enjoy the interplay between word and image, and who relish the odd and the unexpected.

Very fairly priced. Speedy delivery in 3 days. Strong PVC packaging was used but unfortunately there was a hole in the bag and damage to the book cover as a result (minor) which may have been averted by a layer of bubble wrap or cardboard packaging on this heavy hardback book with sharp corners. This is feedback not a complaint as I appreciate using more robust packaging could result in higher prices. Would appreciate if this seller left feedback on me as a buyer please!

Quick delivery and carefully packaged. Book condition was as described and a nice little surprise of it being a hard back. Yet again I would advice for you to remove previous price stickers as it is disheartening to the buyer.

  • Great, inspirational book

    Very thought-provoking, every page kicks your creative thought processes into action, causing you to re-evaluate the world around you, and giving you fresh perspectives on design projects you may be working on. Considered one of the must-have books for graphic designers. It's a timeless work of art, really. I found it priceless when I ran out of inspiration on my last graphic design project. Just opened a page randomly and was so thoroughly engrossed by the visual images and questions it generated in my brain, that I forgot about my project for a while, only to return to it with fresh inspiration.

  • Review about The Art of Looking Sideways

    really interesting, useful book, from the area MUST READ at least once in your life! :) All of my friends, who read this book, enjoyed and I'm sure that will suggest to read it and for the other people. Thanks to ebay I got used book, it's cheaper than to buy new one, and I read this book once at the library and really wanted to have my one.
