Few books on design address the use of color and its role as a tool that creates moods, images and emotion. Now at last The Big Book of Color in Design addresses this need, providing a rich treasure chest of ideas in its 30 different sections. Each section follows a mood (such as "classy," "hot," "regal," or "corporate") and shows current projects designed to evoke that feeling. Every project features a color chip with the CMYK formula for creating a similar tone. Hundreds of examples show how color is used in brochures, ads, logos and more. A worthy successor to the best-selling Big Book of Design Ideas, The Big Book of Color in Design is the ultimate companion to anyone designing for today's sophisticated market.

The Big Book of New Design Ideas

How do creative people create?Where do they get their ideas?For many, "brainstorm" sessions are a starting point. But huge numbers of creative people go through creative annuals or other books showing large amounts of work by top creative people. (Author David Carter calls this process "solitary brainstorming.") The Big Book of New Design Ideas was created for this specific purpose. Each piece was selected based on its potential to trigger an idea in the mind of the reader. Look at the logo section: you'll see a lot of different techniques there. Suddenly, you see a logo that "triggers" an idea. And that idea may have nothing at all to do with the one you just saw. That's pretty much how this book works. For everybody who uses the works of others to inspire their own ideas, this book is the one that should be on the shelf.

The Big Book of Logos

This incredible treasury of more than 2,500 logos were selected from over 10,000 submissions from the 500 best design firms in America. No wonder The Big Book of Logos has become a must-have for everyone interested in design. This classic reference source provides a huge variety of styles and techniques designers can flip through for inspiration.

Following in the footsteps of the all-time best-selling The Big Book of Logos, this deluxe, full-color volume is packed with 2,500 superior new logo designs, culled from recent work submitted by top graphic designers from more than 500 firms across the United States. It is a treasure trove of inspiring ideas and an invaluable reference for anyone concerned with logo design for corporations, retail establishments, restaurants, entertainment venues, and organizations of all kinds.

Layout is the fundamental element underlying any design project, of any kind.So when you're undertaking a new project, the first thing you'll need to decide on is your layout. OK.

Now, you can flip through the book and see something you like. You don't have to copy it. In fact, you probably won't.
