Selected from the personal photography portfolios of some of the world's most innovative graphic designers--including big international names such as Ed Fella, Jeri Heiden, and Marian Bantjes--the images in The Graphic Eye offer a glimpse into the working methods and obsessions of this unique class of visual creatives. Detail-oriented and aesthetically demanding, graphic designers have a special way of looking at the world, and the photographic images they create for their own reference and enjoyment--from micro details to monumental cityscapes, funny vignettes to found fashion--are as unconventional as they are inspirational.

Based on designer and illustrator Stefan Bucher's dailymonster.com website, 100 Days of Monsters showcases an array of original ink-blot monster creations accompanied by fun stories. The project began as a creative challenge to create a new monster every day for 100 days. Buchner posted each monster and mini-movie to the web and invited visitors to contribute stories about the monsters. This book/DVD set compiles all the illustrations, selected stories, and mini-movies of the creation of each monster to provide a fun and quirky celebration of illustration, design, creativity and collaboration.
