Every time I open it I find something different, something I didn't see before. Highly recommended to anyone circling the doldrums of design. Rating - Creative Sparks Both my daughter (a regional marketing analyst) and I (a high school graphics design teacher) share several graphic design texts, and we are very satisfied this text as reference. Rating - Good book for beginners. I have had the book creative sparks on my shelf for about a year now, I thought it would come in handy when I hit a creative lull.

The pages have more visual images than text, and it's ... Read More Rating - hmmmmmmmmm....... I was impressed enough with "design basics index" by this author to buy this one. This book however was kind of a joke. Sorry. The ideas in here are nothing you wouldn't have thought of (unless you never think). It is a small book, so the pages don't have much room on them (for the type size) to write much anyway, even if the ideas were worth having. I was forced to give it one star.....because this review form won't allow me to give it less. see more reviews See all books by author Jim Krause
