Through collaboration the designers explore the relationship of concept and creative process and strive to remain open to change and spontaneity. This incredible book from IdN presents the best projects created by Futurefarmers since the studio's inception in 1995. It covers web design, print design, illustration, and animation produced for clients such as Lucas Film, NASA, NEC and Swatch.
