Shillito Design School

This book showcases the work of Australian colour designer, educator and artist, Eva Fay, produced during her time at the Shillito Design School in Sydney, Australia 1976-1977, and includes key strategies for understanding colour organisation, colour mixing, colour planning and application.It pays tribute to the immense contribution that the English educator and designer, Phyllis Shillito gave to the Australian design and art community. Her teaching at both the Shillito Design School (1962-1980) and at the National Art School in Sydney (1925-1960), had an enormous influence on numerous artists, designers, colourists, art and design teachers and heads of school. Shillito (1895-1980), originally from West Yorkshire, England, created a unique set of colour education principles based on her wealth of knowledge of colour and experience in design. Many of her students are scattered throughout the world making their mark in all endeavours of the design and art worlds.Eva used much of the knowledge gained at the Shillito Design School during this period to become a renowned Australian colour and design educator at the tertiary level in Sydney, and she co-founded the acclaimed School of Colour and Design in 1983 based partially on the teachings of Phyllis Shillito.This is an invaluable historical reference documenting the teaching of colour at one of Australia's most innovative design schools. It has 59 pages with approximately 85 colour illustrations.

Foreword by Anne von Bertouch.

Chicago has been called by many names. Nelson Algren declared it a “City on the Make.” Carl Sandburg dubbed it the “City of Big Shoulders.” Upton Sinclair christened it “The Jungle,” while New Yorkers, naturally, pronounced it “the Second City.” At last there is a book for all of us, whatever we choose to call Chicago. In this magisterial biography, historian Dominic Pacyga traces the storied past of his hometown, from the explorations of Joliet and Marquette in 1673 to the new wave of urban pioneers today. The city’s great industrialists, reformers, and politicians—and, indeed, the many not-so-great and downright notorious—animate this book, from Al Capone and Jane Addams to Mayor Richard J. Daley and President Barack Obama. But what distinguishes this book from the many others on the subject is its author’s uncommon ability to illuminate the lives of Chicago’s ordinary people. Raised on the city’s South Side and employed for a time in the stockyards, Pacyga gives voice to the city’s steelyard workers and kill floor operators, and maps the neighborhoods distinguished not by Louis Sullivan masterworks, but by bungalows and corner taverns. Filled with the city’s one-of-a-kind characters and all of its defining moments, Chicago: A Biography is as big and boisterous as its namesake—and as ambitious as the men and women who built it.
