Bibliography: Artoyz, Brief One

Budnitz, P. (2006) 'I Am Plastic'; Abrams, New York.

A great book for discovering the basics of vinyl toy design. Large amounts of detailed imagery, show ranges in existence. Great for listing the variety of vinyl toy shapes. Also really good for theme possibilities and colour schemes.

Mair, M. (2007) 'Jeremyville Sessions'; Systems Design Limited, Hong Kong.

Takes the concept of vinyl toy design and goes a step further. Details great examples of how illustrations found on the toys can be distributed across other mediums. Will be useful when thinking about packaging and promotion.

Templin Brink Design (2004) '2 Colour Graphics: Unlimited Design Solutions'; Rockport Publishers, Massachusetts.

Not a book directly related to vinyl toys, but instead lists memorable pieces of design that consist of only two colours. This is something I think we should do with our project. It will make the designs more vibrant, but only if we pick the right combination. This book will help with those decisions.
