Book Review : Graphic Design For The 21st Century

Mar 7, 2007 by Jennifer    No Comments    Posted under: Design Stuff!

This heavy book will be of interest to graphic designers at the start of their career but also of interest to experienced professionals. Throughout more than 600 pages, the authors show us the work of 100 designers from around the world. You may recognise some of the designer names, whilst others are not so well known but it’s fair to say that the authors did a great job making their selections.

The book opens with an essay on design culture which I found interesting and informative, but probably more interesting AFTER I had gone through the book and looked at the designs.

As mentioned already, there are 100 designers included in the book and each one has been allocated a decent amount of space with pictures and some text about the work. It’s easy reading and some of the designs I found quite inspirational.

I would rate this book 4 out of 5. Don’t forget to visit the Digital Design Cottage Bookshelf to see a wide range of Photoshop and Design related books.
