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.

Overall a good book on color to share with my students, but the work is rather outdated. I suggest one waits for a newer version of the book.

Lots of examples on color as a design element

Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2008

The media could not be loaded.

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.
