5.0 out of 5 stars
great illustrations!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Complete Guide to Greeting Card Design and Illustration (Hardcover)
Gives any aspiring home greeting card maker the tools to spark your own creativity. Not written for those of us making our own greeting cards with our computers, but leads you along the way to writing your own verses and picking appropriate graphics to match. I read this from cover to cover the first night and will keep it close to refer back to whenever I need an inspiration! Great instructions and illustrations. Shows how to design any type of greeting card from humorous to sypathetic, from birthday to holiday, to any occassion you can name!
Thanks Eva!

The Best Book on This Subject!,
By StarLady "starlady499" (Rigby, ID United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Complete Guide to Greeting Card Design and Illustration (Hardcover)
Though this book was written in 1987, it still remains one of the best (and only) books on this subject. Not just a collection of pretty cards, this actually goes into methods of making them, and why certain designs work and others don't. My only wish is that Eva would write a more updated version of this subject, as the market for it is very lacking.

Disappointing: Outdated and Not Useful,
By
This review is from: Complete Guide to Greeting Card Design and Illustration (Hardcover)
This book was written in 1987! Technically speaking, it's completely out of date.
My major criticism, though, is the low value of the content. Do we really need to be taught that soft or pastel colors appeal more to women? Not only is that kind of thinking outdated, but who needs to read a book with that level of "information"?
