At first glance, this art book looks out-of-date with its 1970s desaturated colors, as if salvaged from a garage sale. Co-published this year by PictureBox and art gallery Corbett…

Burger blogger Burgerac has released a part art, part recipe book featuring 24 burger-themed illustrations commissioned for 2011 pop-up exhibition Burgermat.
Published by Nobrow, The Burgermat Show includes artwork by illustrators including James Joyce, Andy Rementer, Lazy Oaf founder Gemma Shiel, Linzie Hunter and Jen Bilik, founder of Knock Knock.
Each artwork doubles as a placemat and is accompanied by a burger recipe, from Burgerac’s own ‘super easy cheesy’ to burger chain Byron’s signature creation, with photographs by Thomas Bowles.
The Burgermat Show was launched in London in 2011 and has since travelled to Cape Town and Dublin.
“The show was inspired by the Burger Monday events put on by Daniel Young of Young & Foodish. For each event he invites a great chef to cook up a one-night-only burger for ticket-buying guests.
“After going to a couple, I knew I wanted to collaborate with him and bring art into the equation. I went for a burger (naturally) with Daniel and through a series of conversations, the concept for The Burgermat Show was born,” explains Burgerac.
“The concept for the book was born at precisely the moment we knew we were going to showcase artwork as paper placemats. I initially thought I could print and publish it myself, but once you start really thinking about it, you realise a publisher is far more than a print-broker. Working with Nobrow gives the book the credibility I feel the artwork deserves and the chance to be distributed around the world,” he adds.
Nobrow, which organised last weekend’s East London Comic and Arts Festival and specialises in design, graphic art and illustration books, has also published a new title by illustrator Robert Hunter, who has designed artwork for Picador, the New York Times, Guinness and a book documenting the V&A’s Memory Palace exhibition, which explores the link between illustration and story telling.
Map of Days (above) follows the story of Richard, who is lost in an alternative world after stepping into his grandfather’s pendulum clock.
The Burgermat Show and Map of Days are available to pre-order at nobrow.net

Fetishism in Fashion by Lidewij Edelkoort
The newest publication from Frame Publishers is a book about fashion which delves into the world of contemporary fetishism. Its release coincides with the Mode Biennale Arnhem 2013.
Fetishism in Fashion by internationally-renowned trend forecaster Lidewij Edelkoort explores the world of fashion through a fetishistic lens to reveal an instinctive future for style and culture.
The reference book investigates the evolution of taste from birth to adulthood, the elevation of shoes through ever-higher heels, the psychology of branding, the effects of infantilism, the power of the colour black, the fetishising of objects, and the interaction with skin and the body.
With visually-rich – and sometimes shocking – photography and essays by established authors discussing art, clothing, design, textiles, food and beauty, this in-depth publication sheds new light on the fetishism phenomenon.
More than 50 fetishes are illustrated by inspiring visuals from the likes of Leigh Bowery and Erwin Olaf, boundary-stretching works from designers such as Formafantasma and Alexander McQueen, and eye-opening essays by Susan Piët and Valerie Steele, amongst others.
Bolder, crazier and more outlandish fashions are on the horizon, making this new book a key reference in a new era of experimentation and intense creativity, unveiling the intimate ties that bind us.

McCann Erickson Melbourne’s Dumb Ways to Die and 4Creative’s Meet the Superhumans were the big winners at this year’s D&AD Awards, with Black Pencils also going to Gov.uk and Thomas Heatherwick’s Olympics Cauldron
Heatherwick’s magical Olympic Cauldron (above) won a Black Pencil in the Spatial Design: Installations category.
The 4Creative Meet The Superhumans spot, directed by Tom Tagholm, won Black in TV & Cinema Communications: TV Promotions & Programme Junctions. Meet the Superhumans also picked up three Yellows, in Film Advertising Crafts: Editing for Film Advertising, Film Advertising Crafts:Direction for Film Advertising and Film Advertising Crafts: Use of Music for Film Advertising.
The other two Black Pencils this year are for public service or at least public information projects: Gov.uk and McCann Erickson Melbourne’s Dumb Ways to Die for Metro Trains.
Gov.uk won its award in the Writing for Design: Writing for Websites & Digital Design category, curiously missing out on any Pencils in the digital design area.
Dumb Ways to Die, the charming animation promoting safety on Melbourne’s railways, won Black in Integrated & Earned Media:Earned Media Campaigns (where those 46m+ YouTube views must have swayed any doubters) plus four Yellows in other categories: Outdoor Advertising: Poster Advertising Campaigns, Digital Advertising:Web Films, TV & Cinema Advertising: TV Commercials 120–240 seconds
and Writing for Advertising: Writing for Film Advertising
Adding to this spirit of creativity in a good cause is the first White Pencil winner since the category (launched last year) was merged into the main awards. Congratulations to Droga5 for a project that offers a practical solution to a huge problem. Help I Want To Save a Life marks the fruition of a ten-year project begun by Droga5 creative Graham Douglas. Donor registration kits are included with packs of Help Remedies plasters. The kits require a small sample of blood, though as the donor is likely to be bleeding anyway – hence reaching for the plasters – this is a simple action. The samples are then sent to DKMS, the donor centre affiliated with the project, which will follow up upon receipt.
In the Yellow Pencils, McCann Worldgroup won in Writing For Design: Writing for Brands for its LOCOG Gamesmaker project for the 2012 Olympics volunteer programme
R/GA won in Crafts for Advertising: Sound Design & Use of Music for Digital Advertising for One Copy Song. Adam Tensta is Sweden’s biggest hip-hop artist.
