J. Drew was my professor. He taught me at VCU- QATAR. He is more than a tutor. He taught me how to appreciate colors. "Colors sell a product" Some of my work is included in his book. The book has a huge collection of logos and identities from different region, different projects... etc I liked the arrangement of the works inside the book and how each logo has a brief explanation of the project. Thanks a lot to John Drew.
