Outsize is the book for graphic designers needing to make their client‎'‎s message stand out‎,‎ but it is also of obvious appeal to those interested in the subject who can learn from the techniques of large scale design‎.‎ Large scale graphics are strongly influenced by their context ‎- where they‎'‎re placed‎,‎ how they interact with those who will view them‎,‎ how suitable they are for the environment‎.‎ The book explores and explains these factors so the designer‎'‎s work will have far greater effect‎.‎ It guides the reader through the potential pitfalls and hazards of using non‎-standard substrates such as brick glass or vinyls‎,‎ and highlights issues of weatherproofing and structural properties‎.‎ It also contains handy hints on managing the process‎,‎ as well as collaborations with those in related fields such as product designers‎,‎ sign painters‎,‎ engineers and architects with its huge global range of contemporary examples‎.‎ Outsize is both inspiration and information for 2‎-D and 3‎-D designers in all disciplines‎.‎
