Reviews
Ninety nine point nine percent of the time you see an interesting or provocative design, there is little or no context. This is the first, and perhaps only, book that undertakes to analyze in depth the multiple underlying influences (and direct steals) from pre-existing sources and elements. It is a mammoth undertaking, in a unique, all-gatefold format.It is a real treasure, and it does a great service for the graphic design community.
