"NBM delivers an archive of base pattern modules, based on a system exclusively developed for that purpose. The result at hand rests upon six geometric forms (circle, square, isosceles triangle, rectangular triangle, hexagon, pill exactly ordered according to properties such as size, distance, offset and outline.
Through superposition, this system guarantees for an infinite number of individually generated patterns or grids. It's for the user to decide whether he chooses controlled superpositions in order to attain congruent results, or Moiree results through self-defined superposition of modules. "
What distinguishes NeubauModul from other pattern books?
Six criteria are essential distinguishing features:
Firstly, the systematics forming the basic patterns. Secondly, the range of a total of 2031 patterns in the digitally available material. Thirdly, the three different end formats of the archive: vector, bitmap, hi-res tiff files, added to by the Adobe swatch library. The user gains a large library, which is intuitively usable in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop through simple “click and fill”. Repeatable, infinitely stringable pattern modules at maximum performance.
Fourthly, the Modulmeter, a practical tool for decision making if it comes to overlays. With this tool (which works somewhat like a typometer), in which a transparent PVC foil is printed on with a selection of different base patterns, the user is able to intuitively test overlays and offsets in the printed part of the catalogue. A very simple way to find pattern solutions one probably wouldn't find that quickly in the digital realm through simple rotation and shifting. With the analog offset effect one can simulate possible animation effects already on paper. Fifthly, an additial bonus font, the cover headline font NB7050 used in the book, also based on a pixel matrix, is included in the book and tops off its concept. Sixthly, the cost/perfomance ratio.
