I am not a designer but I can admire the selection of graphic works they feature for each of the twenty-seven color families covered in this book to show the varieties of inspiration they can bring to an open-minded professional. I think a non-professional designing something like a document or a website might be able to take some of the palette ideas they feature at the end of each section and come up with a more effective design than they might have come up with on their own. You have to show more consume this kind of work with your eyes, not just your intellect, and if you are receptive to it you might well find ways to be grateful for your own ability to perceive so many colors. show less
Very useful for part of my college course. It easily explains the different techniques used to create logos and shows examples of similar uses in well known brands.
Voila un excellentissime livre pour les graphistes de tout poil. A commencer par Ginette et Bruno du service RH qui, grâce à Word et Powerpoint se sont retrouvés promus chefs com’ de l’entreprise.

En 365 conseils (point trop n’en faut), ce livre démontre brillamment que graphiste, polygraphe, infographiste, maquettiste ou typographe sont des métiers. Qu’ils réclament une formation et un savoir faire qui ne s’improvisent pas.

Et au fil de ces 365 rappels teintés d’humour, show more tout y passe, typo, colorimétrie, mise en page, impression, relation avec les clients ou l’imprimeur… De A à Z vous dis-je !

Peut-être pas une bible, mais en tout cas, une bonne incitation à faire preuve d’humilité pour tous les amateurs !

Un bémol ? Désormais, vous ne pourrez plus vous passer de la suite Adobe ! Mais un agriculteur ne fait pas grand chose sans un tracteur, non ?
