4.0 out of 5 stars Great content Poor Art Direction
Heller is an amazing writer, you just can't go wrong with his work.
The only problem I have is the art direction/design of this book. For a book on art direction it feels rather dated, 2002-2005. It was a bit difficult reading it with so much novelty design presented, I would have been happy with some nice swiss design, you can't go wrong with that.

3.0 out of 5 stars If you can get it in the library, but don't buy it
This is one of those books you would waste your money buying it. I did and I wish I didn't. The authors just explain how they got into the business (by accident), some of their experiences and what they've learned. I'm studying advertisement, and I don't feel it really added anything for me. Don't buy it, you most likely won't read it twice.

This book is filled with a vast amount of knowledge and discussions that make it a must buy for any student, art director or even designer that wishes to know more. This is a great read. Good job yet again Mr. Heller and Veronique Vienne. You managed to write a book that covers all bases, especially for editorial.
