1.0 out of 5 stars useless, November 27, 2005

For the price of this book with a cd, it is absolutely not worth it. The images are scanned (very crappy job of scanning by the way). They ARE NOT vectors, they're flattened. You have to use a tracing tool yourself in the illustrator or photoshop. Images are very good though, but I would buy just the book without the cd.

1.0 out of 5 stars Book is cool - CD is worthless, November 27, 2005

The designs in this book are very interesting and useful but the images on the CD are jagged and the EPS files are NOT scalable. This is fine for aspiring designers but any professional will definately not be happy.

I enjoyed the Chinese motifs presented in the book, which is why I purchased it. I was not as impressed with the faces; they're too cartoon like. I loved the animals, florals, and scenes. And there's certainly nothing as active and exotic as the Chinese dragon. Lovely book, but I had trouble even getting the CD to open.
