Creative Insight,
By A Customer
This review is from: Graphic Design: America Two: Portfolios from the Best and Brightest Design Firms from Across the United States (Vol 2) (Hardcover)
Like most others in the Rockport series this book has an intriguing preface and a conglomerate of great work. The book features several prominent firms while highlighting the designers that work there. It's a good source of information because it explains the communication problem, and then how the use of good design solved it. It does this across several different media, from the aesthetics of store architecture to the traditional printed brochure. Like the others from Rockport, certain projects are repeated in their other books, but overall, any individual with an eye for the intangible will appreciate this book.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Graphic Design: America Two: Portfolios from the Best and Brightest Design Firms from Across the United States (Vol 2) (Hardcover)
I can appreciate the work of others and just think this book is beautiful. I get a great sense of how others express themselves by the way this book is presented. The cover and pages are wonderful quality paper and the images are crisp and freshly laid out. I am not a super power pro but as I mentioned, I appreciate and enjoy how artists perceive their world. Nice big book with the quality to be placed on anyone's coffee table.
