Now you can discover and celebrate Long Island's natural treasures. Alice M. Geffen and Carole Berglie describe thirty of the region's scenic and accessible trails through parks, bird sanctuaries, and along the shore. Most walks are about a mile long and suitable for the entire family. Complete information is provided on each trail's location, length, highlights, and–especially–native plant, animal, and bird species.
Arranged from west to east, these walks and rambles include:VanDam's award-winning Long Island StreetSmart maps all top attractions including beaches, birding, golf, the Hamptons, vineyards, and state parks - all at an immensely legible super-scale of 1:150,000. Clear information design allows users to read the map from three feet away and has earned VanDam maps a place in the MoMA Collection.
The Long Island StreetSmart includes details of the Hamptons, North Fork, Montauk, and the rest of Suffolk and Nassau Counties, as well as the 5 Boros of The City of New York. Edition includes LIRR transit lines and Hampton shortcuts.
Simplicity reigns supreme in information design to make complex cities clear and understandable. Our typography creates character and reveals the true bones of the city. VanDam uses a letter grid to identify locations on maps - no confusing and cluttering K-28 or V-34s - its just the city from A-Z. Our covers map the icons of each city and turn them into collectible graphic art. Each sleek and laminated city map package opens to 24" x 9" and then easily folds down to 4" x 9" to snuggly fit into a shirt pocket or purse. Gain instant Longuyland StreetSmarts and a sexy souvenir to boot!
Colour it in psychedelic colours, in tasteful tones, in all shades of orange! But just colour it, tear it out and send it to a friend. Recapture the simple sense of fun and creativity by colouring in the most beautiful figurative designs - flowers, birds, butterflies - provided by a leading textile designer. By adding the key ingredient of colour you add your own spark of creativity to great designs. The design team, who work closely with Tate Modern in London, provide 24 postcards with six different designs to choose from. You can experiment with the colour combinations, using crayons, pencils, felt/fibre tip pens, and even paint on these uncoated post cards. A brief introduction gives some tips on using colours and some suggestions on colour combinations to use on the specific designs, but you are encouraged to let your own creativity get to work! It is a great fun for all those looking for a burst of creative expression and useful for designers of all types who want to experiment with colour. The cards can be kept together in the book or torn out and posted to a friend.
