good Very happy. "great workflow ideas and inspiration" according to Scott L. Petrovic. When I first got this book, I thought it was going to be more in the layout like a textbook that has a lot of words and few pictures. When I opened it up and read through it, it was quite the opposite. It shows everything visually and minimizes type wherever it can. It really goes into good detail about the design process and the best way to brainstorm and come up with ways to stop artist-block. It shows good solid design across multiple different styles. It mostly focuses on print pieces, but the messaging and intent can be carried across to . Charles Thompson said Excellent and inspired. This is a wonderful book for inspired layouts and design. A professional designer can never have "too many" sources to draw inspiration form, and to stretch their design. The book is an excellent addition to a designer's arsenaland it's well-laid out too (couldn't resist). :)
