Desktop Reference, Client Reviews,
By Katerina "Kat" (Kentucky, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Designer's Toolkit - 1000 Colors: Thousands of Color Combinations (Hardcover)
I like this book because it provides a lot of color combinations (good for review with clients while discovering their likes and dislikes) + CMYK/RGB values next to the color palettes. I would not pay the full retail price, though -- $20 seems to be overpriced for my pocket (my copy is from a discount book store).
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: The Designer's Toolkit - 1000 Colors: Thousands of Color Combinations (Hardcover)
Nice book for the money. Great templates for InDesign. I think its best for new users. Not really cutting edge creative stuff, but basic useful templates. Wish it was easier to get the cmyk conversions.
