Colossal Design

i bought this book a while ago and i still refer to it once in a while. pages are full of clever concepts and interesting tidbits of information from other designers.

This book serves as a constant source of inspiration. It contains many samples of excellent design work. The book is split up into five sections: Posters, Editorial Designs, CD & Music Graphics, Brochures and Business Collateral so you can find the kind of work you want to see quickly. The work is inspiring and one of the greatest features is the information provided on each piece of artwork. The book lists the size, colors, clients, artists/designers, and the fonts used in the piece. I am always curious to see which fonts are used by other designers and this book provides that. I love this feature! If you see a font you like you can then hunt it down and buy it. Very cool. Very useful.
