Mention to someone that you are a surface pattern designer and you will probably receive a blank look of confusion.Perhaps they will hear the word 'pattern' and think you design patterns for clothing, or that by 'surface' you are referring to the different types of finish used in building and decorating trades. Either way, they won't realize you are a graphic designer, illustrator, textile designer and more, all rolled into one. Pretty much anything you see in the marketplace that has a printed design on it will have been through the hands of a surface designer.

Pattern is everywhere. Years of minimalism have been superseded by a riot ofcolour and shape, whether on walls, fabrics, clothes or signage. Print & Pattern is a visual celebration of contemporary surface design.

Compiled by the creator of the cult blog of the same name, this book documents the work of the best surface designers from around the world and features products that have been embellished with a surface print or pattern, including graphics, cards, gift wrap, stationery, textiles, ceramics, badges, stickers and wallpaper.

As well as successful commercial designs, the book also showcases previously unseen pattern designs from designers' portfolios.

With 750 full-colour illustrations.
