4.5 Fuzzy Green Stars,
By
This review is from: Inspirability: 40 Top Designers Speak Out About What Inspires (Hardcover)
Quite simply, the book is awesome. It's nothing short of delightful, that you can pick this book up, and randomly sort through level after level of creative inspiration, to discover that by the end, you too can't help but notice that you have a much higher appreciation for all of the things in your own life that affect everything you do. It makes its way elegantly into that special area of books on my shelf that i always reach to when I'm "stuck" and just need that little something going again. in short...READ THIS BOOK, then READ IT AGAIN. Then wait a little while, and don't read it because three times in a row and people start talking about you and your "fuzzy green book", and that's a hard one to shake...

Truly Inspiring,

This review is from: Inspirability: 40 Top Designers Speak Out About What Inspires (Hardcover)
After buying this book (and being lucky enough to have it signed by the author!) I just couldn't wait to flip through it's pages and find out what inspires my heroes in the world of graphic design. I love the format the author has chosen for the interviews and being able to get a sneak peak into the designers' studios and see what inspires them. This book will remain a timeless addition to my bookshelf and I know I'll refer to it when I get stuck or need a bit of inspiration myself. The questionnaire is awesome, and I love how different they all are. It's a wonderful book and one that belongs in every designer's library.
