Lots of examples on color as a design element Nov 10, 2008
By Parka
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3GDCT21DFEAMI The designs featured in this book use colors as the main design element. So expect this book to be more colorful than other design books.
The use of colors are sometimes strong and bold, sometimes subtle. There's a great variety to draw inspiration from.
Each of the design featured are captioned to explain why the particular color was used, and what the color is trying to convey. Color swatches, RGB and CMYK, are by the side of every design.
The chapters are categorized by color associations, e.g. lively, peaceful, feminine, childlike, classic, hip etc.
(More pictures are available on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)

useful Oct 16, 2009
By reviewer999
I am currently a design student and this book is a good addition to my small (but growing) collection. It contains examples of color used in a variety of different design projects and includes the cmyk and rgb values. I also appreciate the short descriptions of each piece, which gives a little insight into the colors chosen. I refer to this book for many projects and would recommend it.
