A catalog of 1,000 symbol and icon designs in an affordable format .

Pictorial symbols are, in some respects, superior to words as a form of communication. If well-designed, they can be understood by people of all different races and cultures and can be recognized by children literally years before they learn to read. Symbols can be identified more quickly than words, making them especially useful in situations where fast reactions are required (e.g., control panels in airplanes.) As a result, symbols are of the utmost importance to graphic designers and their ever-present challenge to create effective visual communication for their clients. Like Rockport's other '1,000' series books, this collection of designs provides a virtual catalog of ideas for designers to look to for creative inspiration. No matter what type of job or client presents itself, designers can view the work of 1,000 other talented designers to find unique and distinctive elements and influences.

Like Rockport's other books in the '1,000' series, this collection of designs provides a virtual catalog of ideas for designers to look to for creative inspiration. No matter what type of job or client presents itself designers will be able to look to the work of 1000 other talented designers to find unique and distinctive elements and influences to inspire their own work. The content is organized by subject matter allowing readers to find symbols which relate to the specific job they are working on.

Excellent Book

By John McSwain on January 9, 2007

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase

Typically, I'm very hard to impress when it comes to books. However, this book really made me raise my eyebrows (in a good way) and gave me a lot of inspiration as it relates to visual queues and labeling. I think this book, and really, any book published by Rockport Publishers is decent to look into purchasing. In addition to this book, I highly recommend reviewing the RockPort book entitled "Universal Principles of Design" by William Tidwell.

Not Much Content

By Graphic Designer on May 24, 2007

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase

The 1000 series is good pictorial reference however if you're looking for

written content this is not the book for you. There are two opening paragraphs and

that is it. I expected more informed content.
