5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic illustration of the principles of visual language., July 10, 1999
This review is from: Visual Language , the Hidden Medium of Communication (Design Fundamentals) (Paperback)
This book provides an in-depth illustration of the principles of visual language. A must read for anyone in the design field or corporate communications, in order to understand how to acheive a seamless identity across all mediums. Very well written, great for those who have never worked with designers to explain why so much time is spent determining the visual language (mood boards, tone of voice, etc.) before concepting is begun. Also good for designers who must articulate their process and build the argument supporting their concepts.

3.0 out of 5 stars Worthwhile content, Overblown package, June 5, 2001
By 
Carolyn Hendricks (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Visual Language , the Hidden Medium of Communication (Design Fundamentals) (Paperback)
I ordered this book by mail at a reduced price. When it arrived, I thought it was an overblown production: i.e. full color bleed spreads in 1 background color with perhaps 27 words on them; serrated tear out sheets of stuff similar to what you might tear out of magazines and catalogs. However, since I bought it, I read it. The author has developed a method of getting at what a company wants or needs in graphic design for corporate materials. I think it would suitable as a workbook for a one-day or weekend seminar in design.

5.0 out of 5 stars Masterfully done!, March 30, 2004
By 
"zeronewmedia" (Sacramento, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Visual Language , the Hidden Medium of Communication (Design Fundamentals) (Paperback)
A very impressive and well written book discussing what all designers should strive to achieve. This book would be more than appropriate for individuals beginning their designing education or career. Do not be fooled by the glossy pages, bold type, and interesting imagery, this book provides a well rounded approach to teaching visual communication.
