 "Workbook" falls short December 1, 2007
5 out of 8 found this review helpful
I bought this book to help me with one of my design classes. The workbook in the title and all the good reveiws on here convinced me to buy it without looking through it on the shelves. Well it isn't a workbook of any type. It is a regular book. No reading and filling out questions at the end. No projects to help you understand the concepts covered in the text. The beguining of the book is good (color theory, color wheel, color psychology), then heading toward the back of the book it gives examples of design in color, which I found boring.
 real world colour workbook November 24, 2007
This book is a great design tool. It is easy to read with real life examples - I particularly liked chapter 3 in its breakdown of meanings, associations etc and again backed up with real print examples. As someone who has struggled with the different colour theories - on screen, print and paint - it has provided a clear and simple explaination of some of these colour theories and their particular applications.
 An excellent place to start! September 3, 2007
In design and illustration it can often be all to easy to overlook the important basics such as colour. This excellent book from Rockport takes you through the basics, to some more complex ideas and has plenty of high quality product examples. For people like me who didn't go to art college this sort of reference is a must.

Ver good book on color design. Has many useful examples as well as intersting ways to use them. Also good for beginners to introduce them to color without overwheling them. Would recommend to novice-intermediate designers, but also a good reference for some pros.
Great book that inspires me to get to work! February 27, 2007

I love colors... probably too much... but I always seem to pick the same color palette when I'm designing things, and can't seem to stray to far from them, so I needed this book. It's fantastic. It shows color palettes that have been put to work in real-world settings. It also has nice explanations on color theories and the meanings of colors. The book is well organized and detailed-- I haven't found an AdamsMorioka book that I didn't like. Great job! PS I got my book from an amazon subsidiary-- it was a used book from warehouse_deals for a smashing $17.08 + nominal shipping. You'd never guess that this book had ever been used. I ordered two other books from warehouse_deals, too... if you can snag a book from them at such a great price, you won't regret it. Their shipping is as quick as amazon's standard shipping. :)
