Books
Here you can find our pick of the bunch for great pattern and design books. Some are pattern source books, others are designers’ stories, and others feature some aspect of design, such as typography. Others are just beautiful so we indulged ourselves by including them!


IP

Sadly protecting your work is an important part of any designer’s job, and this is even more so when we share more and more online. Here you can find useful resources to help you get answers to your IP questions, and make sure you are doing what you need to in order to avoid being copied.
