Summary: No Explanations
Comment: If you are looking for creative ideas for your designs, this book was specifically created for you.
If you are new to design, this is not the best book for you. Like me, you may not know exactly what to look for in the examples shown. Included are book jackets, catalogs, calendars, posters, and other creative designs that you can look at for ideas. Unfortunately, they are just pictures so the detail does not always come out as you might hope.
There are no explanations. With each idea are the client, the art director, and the creative firm. Sometimes, it will list the designer.
Unless you know what you are looking at, and can see the different elements of the whole as well as how they interact, then this book will not be very helpful. This book would be a good reference for people with design backgrounds, but not for the beginner.

Comment: The Big Book of Design Ideas is a great resource for any project imaginable! It's got ideas for a variety of projects--from logo, letterhead and package design to CD, book cover, catalog and annual report design--almost any project you can think of. The possibilities are endless! The book is a great compilation of different artistic styles, providing inspiration for almost any type of project conceivable. It's a wonderful resource for anyone interested in design.

Summary: Excellent Layout
Comment: Beautifully done. Tons of categories. Extreme Picture book. Is nice enough to be a coffee table book even for those that aren't excited about graphics as much as I am. This is a great book to get some fresh ideas from. Nice reference book for any graphic artist. I loved this book so much that I bought it for one of my clients in the UK so they could have it, too. This would also make a great gift for any type of artist since it covers everything from corporate logos, letterheads, brochures, and even displays. It has much more than that because all the little color boxes on the front of the book are actual sections in this book. This is something that I wanted to have in hardcover.
