Dirty Fingernails

A collection of some of the best hand-crafted designs.

This book is a collection (curated by John Foster) of the best hand-crafted design out there from all corners of the globe. The collection connects with designers on a gut level and is the ultimate collection of this type (and era) of work. For those that look to these books for inspiration this provides not only for their work in the office but also their personal bursts of creativity. It is not limited to designers who work on their own or do jobs on the side. Global corporations have begun to embrace this mode of design to create a more authentic experience for consumers who are bombarded with computer-generated art on a daily basis, so all designers - whether they work in-house at a large company or at a design studio - must get ready for a new more authentic design revolution.
