Customer Reviews

very disappointed1
i never leave reviews for books i buy - but i had to for this one - i was so excited to get this & read it - the publisher being a well known source in the design community - "HOW" (company name) - so i thought it would be like all their other stuff - phenom - & the author has incredible credentials - but the selections he chose to review are just awful - he has horrible taste - a waste of money if i must be honest - i read about half of it so far & it is sitting in a pile for when i extremely bored - if i even finish it at all - i wish i could get my money back

Identity Design Must-Read5
This book is not only an impeccable resource for brand redesigns, but also a helpful tool for knowing exactly what to do when designing an identity for the first time. Shifting the focus from merely a showcase of the tangibles that were produced from the various campaigns, this title emphasizes the market research and overall branding strategy for the rebranding of the businesses. From considering public image and perception, to company structure, to company history, Identity Crisis! covers the full range of thought processes involved with identity design and rollout. A must-read for any identity designer, Identity Crisis! is a highly approachable title that appropriately covers the vastly important and, unfortunately, oft-ignored mental aspects and processes of logo and identity design.

Great Design Resource5
This is a great resource book for those designers who like to see how other designers think. (And how many renditions it takes to get to the end product.) Love the before and after examples. Sample work is shown large. Explanations are informative and interesting. Overall, a well-designed, designer resource.
