イギリスの伝説的レーベル、FACTORY RECORDSが手がけたアートワークの数々を収録したグラフィック大型本、“FACTORY RECORDS”。Thames & Hudson社より刊行。
アルバムジャケットのみならず、あらゆるグラフィック・クリエイティブにリスト番号を付けて、ひとつのFACTORY RECORDSブランドを作り上げた、このレーベルの集大成とも言うべき数々の名作が勢ぞろい（ちなみにこの本も番号が付いてます）。FACTORY RECORDSを知らなくても、あ、コレ知ってる的なものから、だーれも知らんようなマニアックなものまで収録。ハードカバーでかなり分厚い。
　

お値段がちょっと高め、ということでピンときた人しか食指は動かんと思うけど、デザイン・アートに関わる者ならば一度は目を通しておきたい一冊かも。

design is not art.
design must be commercially oriented and practical.design itself has no value at all. the value of design cannot be appreciated until people find it useful and recognize its importance.

however, many designs on the network, called web design, have already transcended obstacles such as ethnicity and language, and created designs based on a variety of concepts. however, because its definition is incomplete, the question of what the web design is based on, whether it is based on programs or on usability, remains extremely ambiguous. inconsistent design turns out to invite confusion.

however, on the other hand, we are, to tell the truth, sick of the proposals and the movement of the so-called w3c and the like about what should be the criterion.
should we emphasize freedom or design in web design?

web design has just begun. there is infinite room for improvement. consequently, web designers should make every effort to spend time on experiment and inspection as well on fostering a cutting-edge sense.
