A good run down of most things Graphic Design related. Only a few criticisms would be that revisions would have to be made to keep it contemporary, although the beauty of a book is that; it is set in that time. Also, tthe Principles are oddly divided into sections like, Toilet signs... but this is minor nit picking.

So much delicious eye candy and a must have for all designers. I imagine with all the really great designs out there over time and thousands of excellent designers, it must have been difficult to include only a little of everything; could easily have been twice the size. Highly recommend. Rating: 5 / 5 What a beautiful compendium of graphic design. So much delicious eye candy and a must have for all designers.

This is not a text book in the traditional sense, and I wouldn't call this collection "timeless", design is contemporary after all; this is more of a stepping stone to dive deeper into the avenues of today's artistic functions. In some cases, it feels like a promotion for universities, design books, agencies, etc...which, don't misinterpret - is good in its own right. While some of the literature can be a little brief, the descriptions are to-the-point and easy to comprehend (the information doesn't seem invaluable or overwhelming). All in all, this book is one of the best compilations of graphic design around. Recommended! Rating: 5 / 5 This is an awesome index of everything design related.
