Fifty Years of Illustration (cover and interior spread) by Lawrence Zeegen and Caroline Roberts, October 2014 (Laurence King Publishing). 9.9 x 7.75 inches, hardcover, 384 pages, 700 color illustrations

Fifty Years of Illustration charts contemporary illustration’s rich history: the rampant idealism of the 1960s, the bleak realism of the 1970s, the over-blown consumerism of the 1980s, the digital explosion of the 1990s, followed by the increasing diversification of illustration in the early 21st century. Artworks by key illustrators, including Milton Glaser, Maurice Sendak, and Marion Deuchars, bring the decades to life.

TM: The Untold Stories Behind 29 Classic Logos  (cover and interior spread) by Mark Sinclair, August 2014 (Laurence King Publishing). 
 

TM: The Untold Stories Behind 29 Classic Logos is a uniquely detailed look at a select group of the very best visual identities. The book takes 29 internationally recognized logos and explains their development, design, usage and purpose. Based on interviews with the designers responsible for these totems, and encompassing the marks from a range of corporate, artistic and cultural institutions from across the globe, TM reveals the stories behind such icons as the Coca-Cola logotype, the Penguin Books’ colophon, and the Michelin Man.

Enter the drawing to win a copy of each of these books (each winner receives both books):
