| London based design consultancy Browns
are five years old. In that time they have achieved an award winning
global reputation based on their ability to bridge the gap between
the cultural and corporate arenas, manifesting itself as a successful
design business. A walk through booksı is the fourth in the GCE
Directions Series that takes a look at famous design groups
around the globe. Browns follows designers Graphic
Thought Facility (No 3) , Philippe Apeloig
(No 2) and Jannuzzi Smith (No 1) in the
Direction Series. In an amazingly short space of time and on top of
their expanding brand/identity work, Browns have designed and published
some thirteen award winning books. |

| The books have not only been influential from
a design point of view but have also forced the design world to re-think
how the barriers separating publishing and design can be broken down.
From New York Sex Club to a frozen Scottish Loch, "A walk through
books" takes a look at how six of these books came to be. In
a visual scrap book format, the book tells the story of the personalities,
adventures, travels and process surrounding each book, visually all
laid bare on the printed page. It gives an insight into the level
of commitment, drive and passion required for designers to successfully
enter the publishing arena. |
