High Touch Tactile Design and Visual Explorations

High Touch is a powerful collection of cuttingedge tactile design. The choice selection of three-dimensional work defines a new visual language for presentation and storytelling whose effectiveness lies in its artisanship. The handicraft necessary for its creation appeals to the interdisciplinary mindset of our time and activates more of our senses than standard two-dimensional images ever could. High Touch documents an inspiring range of material objects and spatial orchestrations that meld crafts including crochet, papercraft, and the design of costumes and masks with the techniques of more traditional art forms such as installation, sculpture, collage, photography, and illustration. The examples featured in the book prove that the scope for this trailblazing work is enormous. Applications include advertising, brand presentations, editorial design, photography, product design, scenography, and stage design, as well as related fields that either exist already or that their creators have yet to invent.
