Summary: Design from your soul
Comment: This is the truth. It seems so many designers are looking for the "rock star" status that design seems to bring today that they forget the things Tibor brought (and are important) to the world of design. There are great things to be seen in this book. We are communicating for the people. Not the green pieces of paper. No one says this better with more humor and sensitivy than Tibor Kalman. I wish I could sit with him and talk.

Summary: The world of a creative genius
Comment: Think Tibor Kalman. Think Bennetton's controversal advertising. Think COLORS Magazine (http://www.benetton.com/colors/). Creative advertising, copywriting and photography at its best.
Includes a biography of Tibor, some of his writing about design, countless visuals -- spreads from COLORS magazine, Tibor's ads, clock designs, promotional campaigns, etc.
This is an excellent book I recommend to everyone who has interest in photography, advertising, graphic design or promotion.
Buy it. Or go to a bookshop and spend the day with it.

Summary: If a man smiles at you...
Comment: I first heard of Tibor Kalman while browsing a copy of "Interview", just to learn that it was a tribute. Sometime later, I found a smiling bookcover looking at me. I bought it. I was waiting for the bus and started to read it... I could not put it down again. I read textes, subtitles, infos, even the small characters of the work reproduced. It was not enough. It made me regain the somehow lost faith in design, showing me how humour, money and a cause could be combined together with surprising results.
Do not be fooled: this book goes beyond the cult of the author's personality; it shows brief, concept and ways of thinking which are useful to everyone, not only designers and students.
Although I knew it from the beginning, in the end I had tears in my eyes, because this man was gone and could no longer make our world a better place.
