This book is just incredible. Page after page you will be inspired and challenged to think through your designs to create intelligent, fun images. Jason Munn is a great designer and, because of this book, I REALLY want to learn how to screen print now! If you are a music lover and/or a inspiring or professional graphic design I recommend this book. By buying this book, you will get the reward of having a great collection of posters, and at the same time you will support a great designer!

I buy books for a jolt of inspiration, and I admire the work but the whole book doesn't really deviate from a theme or color palette.

Great quality and source of ideas
Munn's posters are fantastic, my only complaint is that the book size isn't larger to really be able to enjoy these fantastic images like a coffee table book.

Simple = Fantastic
Munn's work ranges from simple and fun to sentimental and symbolic. Sometimes it takes a second or a step back to really understand the message. Read more
