1,000 Greetings: Creative Correspondence Designed for All Occasions (1000 Series) [Paperback]

Peter King & Company (Author)

Book Description

Series: 1000 Series | Publication Date: April 1, 2004

With designers constantly working for clients and having a limited amount of freedom in much of their work, the chance to strike out on their own and do something truly original and personal is a real luxury. The cards included represent some of the most creative design available so are a wonderful source of inspiration for all types of projects. All designers and design firms, whether in-house or freelance, create their own greeting cards which serve not only as a greeting card, but as an opportunity to show off their work in a totally unique and uninhibited light. In addition, they are the perfect project because they are small enough so they are not incredibly time consuming nor are they very expensive to produce -- even with unique materials or treatments.

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative Book, November 1, 2004

This review is from: 1,000 Greetings: Creative Correspondence Designed for All Occasions (1000 Series) (Paperback)

As a graphic designer, I find this book full of inspiration. When I am at a creative blank I can just refer to this book and new ideas are instantly created. Images in this book are clear and crisp, despite what the previous reviewer said, I personally find these images large enough to see how intricate and detailed the work is and how they are administered. A wonderful book!

I absolutely love this book; even though as a designer I don't do much card/invitation design, the typography and graphic elements are still inspiring in my everyday work. It makes for a fun coffee table book as well.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very little variation for a '1000 Greetings', August 25, 2005

This review is from: 1,000 Greetings: Creative Correspondence Designed for All Occasions (1000 Series) (Paperback)

I was disappointed with this book as the majority of cards are Christmas related and a lot of them are from the same contributers. There is some nice stuff in there but with 1000 'greetings' I had hoped for A LOT more variation and not all American but International cards.
