This book has a LOT of great ideas and inspirations. I will say that I wish there was more variety amoung contributors. There tends to be a lot of the same designers contributing work. There is also a handful of work that I would not consider to be worthy of "book status".

Overall I do like the book. Another great book by Rockport "1000 Graphic Elements"...

I would totally agree with the above review, Eldridge picks many of the same brands to showcase and perhaps my aesthetic tastes are very specific or my standards are high, but not all of them deserve to be in a book that is supposedly showcasing "good" design. Maybe it's supposed to be displaying a wide range of design taste, but I expected some sort of standard to be selected - for example, there was a plain Ann Taylor carrier bag that they stuck in there (the plain off-white ones - not even the pretty grey ones with the satin handles and pink interiors!), which reinforced my opinions that the book contains more filler and fluff than clever design worthy to be praised.

If you're considering buying this, I suggest you first go to a bookstore and flip through it for yourself.

I am in love with these rockport books! The 1000 series is an awesome source for inspiration. You can randomly flip through them and something will catch your eye and it starts your creative juices flowing. I would definitely say that these books should be in any design student's library. The 1000 Graphic Elements is the other one that I could not live without!

Being in graphic design, it is always nice to be able to have some reference books to look at for ideas and to get the creativity flowing.

BOUGHT THIS FOR MY DAIGHTER WHO IS A GRAPHIC DESIGN STUDENT. SHE SAID IT WAS VERY USEFULL AND RECOMMENDS IT TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN GRAPHIC DESIGN.

We find this book to be a good source of ideas for all of our customers. Sometimes we need a simple one for a consumer, sometimes for mulitple tags for corporate clients.

I love the line of 1000 books by Rockport. Great reference and for inspirations. There are too many "how to" books and sometimes all designers need is a little something to spark their imaginations. Any one of these books is well worth the price and is perfect no matter what niche of design you prefer.

An exceptional representation of a large category.
I recommend this to all in design and marketing.
Limitless idea starters that will keep your designs fresh.

I am a designer for tags and labels. I find this book to be a great source of inspiration.
