Useful for getting ideas
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
This book collects a wide range of layouts from various media that can be very useful as inspiration for designers. However, as mentioned by another reviewer, the accompanying descriptions don't give much technical or specific information regarding the designs, and can sometimes border on inane. A good source, nonetheless, for designers who are in need of design ideas.
nice little book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
The thing that I liked about this book was that instead of merely serving up a collection of what the author deems "good design" (don't get me wrong, I own lots of "inspiration" books), there were comments provided for why the design worked.
Good collection of examples
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book has a large collection of layouts. Useful for a reference and to see what other people are doing. I wouldn't call a lot of the layouts 'outstanding', and the book is A5 in size, so a lot of the designs span the spread which makes them difficult to view. Despite that, it still is a nice little reference book.
