This review is from: Creativity 33 (Hardcover)

Creativity 33 is an excellent guide for anyone looking for a concise overview of contemporary design practices in a variety of media.

As is often true with books edited by David Carter, the quality of the choices is only matched by their presentation on the page. Each oversize page contains three to eight reproductions of various types of print projects as well as online examples. Illustrations are large enough to teach meaningful lessons.

Samples are grouped by category. Printing and production values are high. The tinest details clearly emerge.

Thumbing through the book, one of my first impressions is the power that comes from the simplicity of the designs and the designer's use of color.

This book would make a great "sample book" for internal training of a design studios' staff, as well as a framework for a semester-long commercial graphic design course or workshop.
