Excellent Resource for Designers July 10, 2008
A very thorough book for those looking for a wide variety of branding and design solutions.
excellent overview July 2, 2008
Excellent overview of current state of design. Although the book is a bit too heavy, don't try reading this in bed or on a plane, it is worth every penny. Compared to Area (the non-numbered first issue) this book focuses not only on paper based graphic design and I really don't know how one can assess or put a value on such a broad field of possibilities. It is still brilliant. For anyone assuming an investment in graphic design be it a box, a shop, a book, stationery or whatever needs an outside with colours or patterns, this book is a must-have, must read.
The best Area vet June 23, 2008
Makes a good companion to the first area book. Each ones shows off the best of the best in current design.
PERFECTION May 2, 2008
This is most certainly one of the best books Phaidon has published yet. Completely blows Area out of the water. Worth every penny.
