Mandatory Reading For Every Designer!,
By Ilene Block (NYC, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: House Industries (Hardcover)
True to its word, the House Industries book is fantastically over-designed, each page a testament to the Buddhist-like patience of the collective printers who have worked with them over the years. The story telling is relaxed, entertaining and hilariously self-deprecating. Although, the folks at House don't take themselves too seriously, they are a Cultural tour-de-force in the design world and have set design trends that major retailers (Target, Old Navy) have been ripping-off for years and have made millions from. Their unique vision, talent and respect for their craft is inspiring. Their appreciation for the unrecognized commercial artists of the past is practically a public service. After reading this book though, I felt like I should probably quit design and get a cashiers job at Key Food. Okay, more accurately, I was just shamed into raising the standards of my own work. This is a truly inspiring book and should be required reading for practicing and wanna-be designers. Spring for a few extra bucks and buy it on their web site and get a numbered and signed addition. www.houseindustries.com

Worship in the temple of House Industries,
By Dave Savage "savagemonster" (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: House Industries (Hardcover)
A densely packed volume of House Industries' portfolio and history. Visually stunning, over designed and complete eye candy. This is one of the few graphic design books that is as interesting to read as it is to look at. And a reminder to those in the design business that even when you're "at the top," you still have to deal with difficult clients and worry about paying the bills.A bit pricey, but worth every penny.

House Rocks!!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: House Industries (Hardcover)
Great book for any designer, artist or anyone that appreciates quality type, design and illustration.
I've enjoyed every single, overdesigned page and keep finding new little things hidden under the overprinted gloss and silver!!
