"Communicating with Pattern: Squares, Checks, and Grids" is a celebration of the squarest, most linear patterns in every design discipline. Squares and checks represent order, mathematics, technical precision, minimalism and modernism. From graphs and grids, to pixels and road signs, squares and checks make up the framework, the very map of our existence. They are also embedded in the very weave of our history, from Wicca and Christian iconography to traditional checked and tartan cloths. This book is a visual homage to squares and checks, an inspirational graphic collection of different occurrence of squares and checks from all environments, an exciting sourcebook of pattern ideas for designers across disciplines.
