Every designer should have his own sources of different things. Also I think that every designer should have source of patterns.
Patterns give inspiration, you can add it anywhere and the right pattern can make your design better or worse. Even if it's a decorative part of design, you should have at least a little book of patterns. Or start collecting everything by yourself, that would be even better. You may have natural patterns, or create new by yourself.
But if talking about this book – it's great. Patterns that I've seen in it are really different and inspirational. I would really advice everyone to have it. This book is a really good source.
I suppose, it would be helpful to know what patterns were the first and how they have changed now, is this information in the book? And, of course, how can we apply pattern to Product Design. Only as upholstery or it can be an inspiration?
This patterns might be great in terms of graphic design But i suppose that a good pattern must contribute the objects meaning, reveal its cultural belonging or at least be based on the objects appearance. A good pattern must have a source of inspiration of any sort and therefore i do not suppose that an ornament borrowed from such book could suit the idea of your design. Still i think that such a book could be inspiring.

Out of all artists, designers and architects that were active in during th 20th century Le Corbusier was one of the most outstanding figures as he had significantly influenced architecture as we know it these days. This weekend I went to his exhibition in Pushkinsky museum. I wanted to learn more about this famous individual. In spite of the fact that the exposition there was rather modest as only a small part of the museum was devoted to it, it is still more than possible to understand the way the artist worked. A great deal of the exposition is devoted to sketches and technical drawings of his architectural masterpieces. There is no need to say how professional and precise they are, yet what must to be noticed is the great diversity of techniques that were used for recording ideas. Sketches embedded into photographs so that they look as a single image, blueprints combined with sketches of landscapes, pictures o...
I read "Design for the Real World" by Victor Papanek in russian through last summer and i'm still under great impression about it. Moreover, the author is so convincing in his viewpoints that now i need to find and read something completely opposite to restore the balance in my mind. As i understand it, the real world for Victor Papanek is the world of developing countries and countries of the third world. He is certain about the idea that any human concidering him- or herself a Designer must contribute to find decisions against danger, hunger, deseases, poverty, misery e t.c. for those people who have needs , not just wishes or desires. At least 1/10 of its time might ennoble the designer's soul, so to say. His first main project that brought him to fame was hand-made radio station, the receiver in the image below. He was concerned about uneducated people who didn't even have newspapers or TV to be informed about current situation in t...
Annual Moscow Design Week positioning how the most important event in this area. Organizes such an important action in the field of design Art Trading Group. The exhibition is dedicated to design in all its forms: from the graphic,fine art, nterior and fashion-design to industrial and architectural. Graphic design section this year was dedicated to the 120th anniversary of the birth of the founder of Constructivist Alexander Rodchenko. Most of all, I remember the work of German, Polish and Russian authors. It should be noted that on the second floor of the exposure, which exhibited graphic designers, I took more pictures than on another floor, which housed the industrial and art design. The works of graphs differed quality, the study and brightness of ideas. I n my opinion, unfortunately, our product design could not boast these successes. Further there are examples of the brightest Russian industrial designers. MY BEAR by Ale...
