Squares, checks and grids

About this book

"This book celebrates the hippest but squarest, most linear patterns in every design discipline. Inside you will find an unrivalled source of creative inspiration, explaining the language and usage of pattern. Squares and checks represent order, mathematics, technical precision, minimalism, and modernism. From graphs and grids, to pixels and road signs, squares and checks make up the framework of our existence. They are also embedded in the very weave of our history, from flags and emblems to traditional checked and tartan cloths." "This book is a visual homage to squares and checks, an inspirational graphic collection of different occurrences of squares and checks from all environments, and a sourcebook of pattern ideas for designers across disciplines."--Jacket.
