5.0 out of 5 stars When Less is More in Design, April 11, 2000
This review is from: Katachi: Classical Japanese Design (Paperback)
This beautifully put together piece shows me time and again that in graphic design, less is usually "more." The book illustrates through timeless Japanese design that one well-placed form is more powerful than 10 ill-placed ones. Katachi will teach you as a designer to give more by giving less. It's a must have for anyone looking to broaden their skill-set.

5.0 out of 5 stars I WAS EXPECTING TEXT..., August 18, 2000
This review is from: Katachi: Classical Japanese Design (Paperback)
THIS IS A VISUALLY LOVELY BOOK BUT I WOULD HAVE ENJOYED SOME ACOMPANING TEXT. HAD I READ THE EDITORIAL REVIEWS CLOSER I MIGHT HAVE NOTED THAT THE NATURE OF THE BOOK WAS PICTORIAL...HOWEVER...OVERALL, I ENJOY THE BOOK (ONCE I GOT USED TO THE FORMAT) AND CHOSE NOT TO RETURN IT. IN THE FUTURE I WILL READ REVIEWS CLOSER THO. MY VIEWS OF JAPANESE DESIGN ,IS, AS ALWAYS, AWE. THE SIMPLICITY OF THESE DESIGNS HIGHLIGHTS THE FACT THAT ELEGANCE COMES WITH RESTRAINT IN DECORATION.
