Indonesian illustrator Dinda Puspitasari launched a series of visual arts books on Thursday.
Titled Dinda Puspitasari’s World of Pattern, the series comprises three themes, namely Shapes, Flowers and My Favorite Things.
Each book is priced at Rp 95,000 (US$6.40) and features 44 colorful illustrated patterns.
Dinda said during a media gathering at Brood-en-Boter restaurant in South Jakarta that the books were not only a feast for the eyes, explaining that the patterns could be used for DIY projects, such as collages, envelopes, stationery and greeting cards.
Dinda also said the binding was designed to allow art lovers to easily tear out and lay out the pages.
“The books can be used [as a property] for flat lay photos,” added Dinda.
