Graphic Style Lab: Develop Your Own Style with 50 Hands-On Exercises (Playing)

Good reference book, I was expecting it to be more project oriented.

This is a good book for different styles

Not a lot of information here to absorb. Nice to look at though.

I LOVE THIS WORK BOOK! So many great project ideas to help you develop your skills!

It's ok - I teach graphic design and I'm always looking for books for my classroom - I don't think this one that my students will really care for.

all good

The media could not be loaded.  I love to collect advertising and use it in my mixed-media art. This book is a great reference resource to identify styles. I love that I can use the 52 Hands On exercises as a guide to create new art pieces. The collected pieces of advertising and packaging illustrated in this book are beautiful and really help when I am trying to do the different exercises and prompts. In one section called "Know the Styles You are Playing With", the author thoughtfully provides a glossary to familiarize the readers with some of the varied styles.In addition to the many prompts there are also "for fun" and "playful tips" included with each that are both serious and silly. This book really shows how much fun you can have creating advertising, art, and playing with type and images for whatever reason you do it. I think this video will give you a better idea of how fun this book really is.
