Customer Reviews

Minimalism is a good thing!

This book is truly helpful as compared to so many others which are, well, less than helpful.First, the design projects are remarkably similar to design projects you might actually DO in real life.The common denominator is well-conceived designs, that have a natural flow. These great ideas and effects are suggested by the purpose and not by the latest "cool technique" you learned to do.I warn you, there are a few typos in the book, but if you can get past that, it's really worth the time and money.

first step into the world of design

This is the first design book that I've concentrated most. Why? I can learn how to make things beautiful and stylish with the minimal colors, shapes and lines.This book is so good that covers many kinds and styles of graphic design. And among the works, they all seem to direct a message: what simple is true and beautiful.I remember there's a design which is very stunning. Although there is only a white number '23' inside a black circle, that's it! Simple is the best, minimal is wonderful. I cannot imagine that this design is so impressed.I would recommand my friends and people who see this review to read this book before they go to work on designing assignment covers or even banners. Of course, not to copy others works, but to get inspiration from them.
