    In den letzten Jahren verfolgten Steven Heller und Julius Wiedemann die weltweit neuesten Entwicklungen in der Illustration . All diejenigen, die dachten, digitale Gestaltung bedeute das Ende eines ganzen Berufsfeldes, werden in diesem Band eines Besseren belehrt. Bevor Massenmedien unsere Sehgewohnheiten für immer veränderten, war Illustration das effektivste Mittel, um die Wirkung von Worten auf Papier zu verstärken. Heute starren wir auf Bildschirme, die teilweise klein wie ein Ziffernblatt sind, was heutige Illustratoren und Designer aber glänzend parieren: Illustrationen sind freier und vielfältiger denn je . Sie sind allgegenwärtig in sämtlichen Arten von Medien , vom Papier bis zum Bildschirm, über Verpackungen, Bücher bis hin zur Kleidung. Es gibt aktuell mehr Illustratoren, die zur Populärkultur beitragen als jemals zuvor. Dieser Band feiert die schiere Qualität, Vielfalt, Intensität, Komik, Vitalität und Einzigartigkeit der gezeigten Arbeiten . Von etablierten Künstlern bis hin zu aufstrebenden Stars - die hier vertretenen "Besten" sind nur die Spitze des sprichwörtlichen Eisbergs, bieten aber eine überzeugende Momentaufnahme der weltweit angesagtesten Stile, Techniken und Farbgestaltungen . Wählen Sie Ihre Favoriten!
