AWSOME!: I'm a soon-to-be designer who has no academic training whatsoever and one day I had to to a project to finish my english course and I thought: "Ummm I'm making a magazine!" But as you probably know it's easier to think than to do and when I finally sat at my chair and started thinking about how I was gonna do that I completely blocked. And this is the part that Design Cookbook comes and saves me. I know that some people don't like this book because there almost nothing written on it but I think this is... Great for breaking a creative block: I bought this book with hopes that the design ideas inside would help with a brochure I was creating. My patterns were getting predictable and droll. I found a couple patterns I liked and put them to use. Interestingly enough, they look less-interesting in application than they look in the book. To make matters worse, my employer REALLY didn't like the aspects that I did use from the book and had me remove them. HUGE Disappointment: This book is filled with nothing more than frivolous and useless fluff (I simply will not refer to them as "ideas"). For example, putting a detective hat atop an "R" and turning its serif into a pipe is downright childish. Seriously, any good designer or anyone with common sense would steer clear of this visually-horrifying garbage. If you are at all serious about design, pick up any/all of the Jim Krause books. This one's going to the next library book sale.
