3.0 out of 5 stars good..., March 19, 2003
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: By Design (Quick Series) (Paperback)
this is simply material you buy to fill up the gaps of your design/art library. there are some really useful tips and step by step instructions to given filters for photoshop, illustrator, freehand, etc. the 2 cd's that come with it are old, outdated, useless stuff and only relevant for amateurs. if you respect yourself as a designer you wont care taking a look at such junk. long live D.I.Y. dunno... i thought i'd be impressed but i wasnt. a bit above average book with some nice little tricks that's all.

This review is from: By Design (Quick Series) (Paperback)
I happen to be an amateur, so I was looking forward to using the CDs that came with the book. Unfortunately, they don't work and the company no longer has a Web site. I'm disappointed they are still selling this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really good collection of info, May 30, 2002
By 
This review is from: By Design (Quick Series) (Paperback)
This book is a really good collection of color combinations, software tips, printer settings and layout ideas, all in one package. It's not in-depth, and some of the sample images are not fantastic, but it's still a handy reference guide for a lot of design issues.
