5.0 out of 5 stars Classy, Creative, Contemporary, February 7, 2006

AkS "Windy City Reader" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Best of Brochure Design 8 (Hardcover)

The Best of Brochure Design 8 is a collection of creative and contemporary brochure designs from around the world.

The book is divided by categories such as corporate, annual reports, products/services, arts and self-promotional. It offers a varied group of design ideas and examples along with the tools and softwares used for creating those examples.

Graphic designers as well as novices in the field will get a jolt of creativity from the many designs in this book. In my opinion, it makes a great reference guide for anyone in the design field.
