Badge / Button / Pin -- Badges, buttons, and pins have been around for more than a century. Today they're everywhere: on lapels and bags all over the world and in the sketchbooks and on the screens of some of the hottest graphic designers, artists, and illustrators. A button can be a way to display political or cultural affiliations, or it can be a fashion accessory. A guide to the best and most beautiful buttons being produced right now—be they graphic, textual, or plain illustrative—this book explores the rich variety of uses of the button since the year 2000. It will appeal to graphic designers, illustrators, fashion designers, artists, music lovers, and button enthusiasts of all ages.
