Written by John Whelan and photographed by Wallpaper* collaborator Oskar Proctor, ‘Ateliers of Europe’ is ‘a love letter to the art of traditional craft’. The duo travelled through Europe visiting artisanal workshops old and new (from the rugged metal workshops to the refined stained glass establishments, Whelan notes in his introduction), which they documented through photography and interviews that tell the story of each space, its peculiarities and incredible expertise. The ateliers in the book range from Vienna's Lobmeyr to 1882 LTD in Stoke-on-Trent, covering glass, ceramics, metalwork, textiles and more. Throughout the book, Proctor’s images fittingly capture the unique identity of each space, a snapshot of their grand and sometimes gritty reality. As Whelan writes, the book does not mean to be the ultimate tome on the matter, but a celebration of creativity and expertise, stemmed from his visits to these unique places. ‘I simply wanted to share these sublime, solitary moments, standing in these noble places of work with the feeling that time had stopped, if only for an instant.’Are you looking for an authoritative guide to branding, taking in all the different aspects from start to finish? You'll find it here.

That said, the design skills, coding skills, and even business skills you enter the field with won’t sustain you over the long haul.

In languages with Chinese-influenced writing systems, the title is written top-to-bottom. In languages written from left to right, the spine text can be pillar (one letter per line), transverse (text line perpendicular to long edge of spine) and along spine.
