The Graphics Book (D&Ad Mastercraft)

Rating:
Summary: nice works, big size, bad price.
Review: With a price tag that is relatively high comapred to other design books you get a HUGE book that promises a lot but unfortunetly delives a little less. Its a collection of contemporary graphic design. No more. You see some great work beside mediocre work, some eye popping candies besides tastless mess. And all is filled with text written by the designers themselves. Im not a big fan of design reading. I buy these books for the images. But even if i were into reading the text i think i would have given up on it. Plain and simple- the text is not very interesting. But The real fault in the book definatley lies in its price tag. With what the book offers (and dont get me wrong- it DOES offer a lot) i think it could have been produced as a normal size book with a normal price.
