4.0 out of 5 stars
I found this book to be very helpful.,
By Jeannie Byers (jabyers@nlci.com) (Indiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Authentic Designs from the American Arts and Crafts Movement (Dover Pictorial Archives) (Paperback)
Authentic Designs from the American Arts and Crafts Movement has proven to be a very helpful and inspiring publication. Luckily, it turned out to be just exactly what I was looking for! I have used several of the illustrations as inspiration to create logos or spot illustrations for brochures and business cards. The illustrations in the book are well-drawn and easy to see. The halftone screenings of the originally full-color illustrations are a little flat, but they are still nicely reproduced. If there were more full-color illustrations, I would have granted this neat book 5 stars. Thanks for the concise collection of many great design ideas.

Misleading Cover,
This review is from: Authentic Designs from the American Arts and Crafts Movement (Dover Pictorial Archives) (Paperback)
I thought this book would be mainly drawings similar to the cover, individual drawings that could be reproduced. They are not. MANY of the pages are china designs (patterns around the edges of teapots, plates, etc). The drawings are not reproduced flat, making them difficult to use. In some cases, I felt the drawings were a little dark as well. I was thinking they would be a little more like a coloring book style - outlines or solids so that the pattern is clear(much like the objects on the cover), but that's rarely the case. Some of the drawings are quite nice, but I would check this book out in person before purchase to ensure it is what you are looking for.

Awesome decorative pottery design ideas! I highly recommend for ceramic artists and arts and crafts style enthusiasts or historians. This is now a hard-to-find book, so get it while you can.
