Customer Reviews
Fantastic Book!
I have to say that even after working through all of the exercises, I want to go back and do them again! The book inspired us to write our own exercises.
To the person who posted about the sideways layout--I think that's the point. Get out of your cube, look at things differently. A 45 or 90 degree turn works wonders sometimes. :)
It is definitely NOT just a book for designers. I work with engineers--ENGINEERS! And they had a great time stepping out of their normal linear day.
When's the next book coming out?
...
The print of the book is terrible. Essentially a cluster of bad layout/typography. I flipped through and the pages gave me a headache from the all the mess.
The activities are not very original and the ones I did read are pretty much a waste of time. Like photographing 10 circular objects?? mmm...
I'm sure there are better books if you want to get the creative juices flowing.
If You're Not a Graphic Designer, This book is not for you
I'm a hobbyist and thought this book would be good to help me out of my creative rut sometimes. Most of the exercises applied to people working in a creative field, not those that are creative in their spare time.
