The latest book from the cult Print & Pattern website, Print & Pattern: Kids celebrates beautiful surface design created with little people in mind. This book documents the work of the best designers in the field, featuring both successful commercial designs and previously unseen work.
Children's design is an exciting marketplace, full of cute and colorful patterns, wallpaper, fabrics, clothing, ceramics, greetings cards, and in fact just about anything aimed at kids (much of which will also appeal to adults!)
Includes work from Ecojot, Marc Boutavant, Ed Emberley, Paapii, and Dan Stiles, among other top international designers.
Marie Perkins (Bowie Style) started the Print & Pattern blog in her spare time while researching for mood boards in her job as a textile designer. Creating trend books for leading UK stores meant she needed images to demonstrate print trends. The blog soon became a must-read for those in the industry. Marie is herself a successful surface designer working under the name Inkjet Designs; her work has featured in numerous magazines and newspaper articles.
