About the book >.>.> 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 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 insights 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 parados illusion language alphabets words Jetters ideas creativity culture style aesthetics and value.
