2.0 out of 5 stars Not much help, August 8, 2007
This review is from: Designer's Guide to Color: Boxed Set (Paperback)
I'm not much of a designer when it comes to using color, but this guide didn't help me out.
The color schemes don't look very attractive, and the usage of the guide isn't very clear to me.
All in all, I would recommend using Adobe's (online) Kuler application instead of this set.

5.0 out of 5 stars Designing with Color, January 2, 2010
This review is from: Designer's Guide to Color: Boxed Set (Paperback)
This series of books is an indispensable tool for any graphic designer or art director. Through its pages it offers hundreds of creative color combinations that aren't always intuitive but work exceptionally well together. It is an excellent catalyst to move the designer away from the tried and true (and boring) into new options that inspire greater creativity.
