description: This extraordinary book is your guide to the graphic blood that flows in the visual arteries of New York. Graffiti, posters, neon lighting, street art, colour schemes, perspectives and forms are just some of the graphic elements collated as inspiration in this hip sourcebook for graphic designers and visual creatives. The book is organized around structure, communication, problem solving and originality - all problems that drive design itself - but with the raw edge of organic development. Design is site specific; the flavour of the city is tasted through the vast variety of its visual elements that can be called graphic design in its widest sense. With its partner volume on Tokyo (ISBN 2880467683), this title emphasizes the site-specific nature of design as a city's lifeblood, contrasting east and west.
