Graphics: Real-World Graphic Design Projects : From Brief to Finished Solution (Electronic Workshop)

Rating:
Summary: definitely worth buying
Review: As a working design professional i'm always disappointed by so many of the garish coffee table books that purport to be about graphic design but in reality are an embaressment. This book scores highly on several points: *a great range of contributors from Pentagram to Tomato *well written with lots of interviews with the designers *well chosen projects examined in depth and detail

This book also realises that great design isn't about the latest PhotoShop tricks but about real thought and creativity.

Summary: wrong author name
Review: hey people, don't want to seem like a pedant but you've mixed up the author's name and the publisher's - ie Rotovision is the publisher while Paul Murphy is the author. How do i know this? I wrote the book.

Summary: excellent contributors
Review: what do Tomato think when they do a project? How does Paula Scher work? What about AMX Digital or Aboud Sodano who do ALL of Paul Smith's graphic design work. This book has got them all plus attik, April Greiman, VSA, scott makela etc.

The style is accessible and readable while following the development process in lots of detail.
