Virtuelles Design von Karim Rashid – Der New Yorker Designer Karim Rashid – Autor des Buches – hat eine extreme Vorliebe für die Farbe Pink. Organische Formen in schrillen Farben bestimmen die Entwürfe des gebürtigen Ägypters. Seine Ideen für Dinge des Alltags (Möbel, Kleidung, Verpackungen, etc.) als auch seine wilden Creationen für namhafte Marken (Coca Cola, Armani, Estée Lauder, Davidoff) sind absolut hip. Das Buch widmet sich speziell den knallbunten Welten seines virtuellen Graphic Designs.
