The Draplin Design Co. coffee table book reveals how famous designs from Nike, Ford and more were made

The Draplin Design Company is behind some of the biggest and most well-known looks in America. From brands like Nike, Ford, and Patagonia to Obama’s campaign, Aaron Draplin has been pumping out iconic designs for years. Now, he’s compiled all of his best work into a 300-page coffee table book – Pretty Much Everything with full color examples and commentary.

Pretty Much Everything is a mid-career survey of work, case studies, inspiration, road stories, lists, maps, how-tos, and advice. It includes examples of his work—posters, record covers, logos—and presents the process behind his design with projects like Field Notes and the “Things We Love” State Posters. Draplin also offers valuable advice and hilarious commentary that illustrates how much more goes into design than just what appears on the page. With Draplin’s humor and pointed observations on the contemporary design scene, Draplin Design Co. is the complete package for the new generation of designers.

Draplin Design Co.: Pretty Much Everything is currently available for pre-order on Amazon for $29. It is slated for release on May 17th.
