We are perfectly capable of differentiating between certain products simply using their packaging as a reference point. In this book our aim has been to find a different and more contemporary concept for compiling the material. We are referring to the concept of “illustration”. We shall encounter authentic works of art made out of different materials and a variety of techniques, in what is more contemporary packaging. We have sorted the material into different categories such as Food, Beverages, and Cosmetics products and on this occasion, we also thought it was apt to include Projects created by students - this category covers these new designers’ trends, and also more recent studies, which show us a new vision of the world of packaging.

Whether it's diving off a cliff, cross-country skiing in Antarctica, or free climbing the Picos de Europe in Northern Spain, women in extreme sports are proving every bit as strong, determined and ambitious as their male peers. As in her extremely popular previous books, Surf Like a Girl and Skate Like a Girl, Carolina Amell has compiled spectacular photography that evokes the thrill and beauty of female nontraditional sports in every corner of the world. There's Lynn Jung tackling a parkour course with exquisite grace; Anna von Boetticher skimming the ocean floor hundreds of feet below the surface; Heather Larsen slacklining across a canyon wall; Ashley Fiolek, the world's only deaf professional motocross racer, kicking up dirt on her BMX bike; and other female wakeboarders, Pro-Base jumpers, aerobatic pilots, wingsuit pilots, and, ironically, Ironman champions. Each of the athletes contributes her own motivating words of encouragement that will inspire girls of every age and from every culture to chase their dreams, shatter every glass ceiling, kick down the men's clubhouse door-and have fun doing it all.

The perfect gift for surfing enthusiasts, this unique compilation of stunning pictures and hard-won wisdom proves that the thrill of catching a wave, riding it, and kicking out belongs to everyone.

The importance of design for festival posters is becoming increasingly relevant when they are displayed in different cities. Their communication techniques are extremely effective, seeking a relationship between art and modernity, directly focusing on their target. The key point in the advertising and communication of different festivals that we present centers on the corporate image and on its advertising. In recent years, advertisers, copywriters and illustrators have teamed up to offer within an image all the information needed to catch the attention of the public. We highlight the works of: Paula Bonet, Studio Muti, Invisible Creature, Alexis Bukowski, Studio Fnt, Quim Marin, Yeji Yun, and Lawerta.
