- Although it might be a little cliched to those hard core graphics people, I find that this book is a bit of a bible. -It not only is an interesting read, but it is a great reference source that I have been using since I first started uni. Particularly for me, I love the amount of illustration and the quirky layout changes that you find throughout.
-The book pretty much tells you a little bit about everything ranging from ancient history to modern design techniques. The writing style is open and honest and colloquial. It is easy to follow, despite being full of information, as it is well balanced between imagery and copy.
- Shown above is one of the illustrations that you find whilst flicking through, and I have used many examples in my research work for many projects. The best thing about this book is that the information can be adapted for pretty much any brief set.
- I always look through this book for ideas and inspiration when I get set a new brief, and I think this book is a must have for any student on a graphics based course. Although it can be a bit expensive, try buying second hand on amazon and it is definately worth it!
