Customer Reviews
Rubbish
Do not buy this book. It is filled up with really bad solutions. I got very dissapointed when I flicked through it for the first time. And it has been on the shelve ever since. It has been a waste of money with nothing to show for it.
Yellow Duck Creative review
If you're a professional designer who likes to be really creative, this book has odd snippets of inspiration, but is mainly a tool for novice designers looking for quick fix solutions and ideas.
A con
if you're a busy designer hoping for some fresh and useful quick layout ideas... forget it, its complete rubbish. The best part of the design is the cover, that's as good as it gets.
