Stripes explores the universal visual language of striped patterns across design disciplines and everyday life. From textiles and fashion to architecture, graphics, and product design, this book showcases how stripes communicate identity, affiliation, emotion and meaning. From sportswear and corporate logos to fine art and traditional pattern, the iconic stripe has aesthetic and cultural resonance. With a rich array of examples and insightful commentary, Stripes is an essential sourcebook for designers, artists and visual thinkers seeking a deeper understanding of the communicative power of pattern. Mark Hampshire and Keith Stephenson are authors and design practitioners with expertise in visual communication and pattern in design. Together they contribute to the Communicating with Pattern series, which investigates fundamental visual elements such as stripes and their role in graphic and industrial design. Their collaborative work blends design analysis, cultural context and real-world examples to provide an interdisciplinary perspective on visual language.
