Most people don’t think too much about the pattern design they see every day. This book is a reference for those who do. By creating a dramatic and eye-catching statement in the bookstore that’s hard to ignore, we strove to draw in a wider audience to this great subject. The difficulty with any survey is to create a design that reflects the broad range of material covered but doesn’t look like a hodgepodge. This is especially challenging when the subject in question is graphic in nature.
