Review: Graphic Designer Skills For Efficiency - This book arrived double wrapped in like new condition. There are absolutely no pencil markings, no ink pen markings, and no highlighter markings on the pages. I carefully looked at each individual page. There are no markings on the edge of the pages, and not on the front cover and not on the back cover. The book binding is well intact. There are not any loose pages. As a graphic design student at an art college, this book challenges to practice outside of the college assignments. Also, this book helps to think outside of the box. This book provides a variety of design challenges that I need, to improve my graphic design skills. Right now, my college art assignments are easy and basic to do. I bought this book, to help me to grow, by learning new technique(s). I can practice design skills for product packaging, mobile apps, music products, book products, retail store display, and much more. This book provides the projects that a graphic designer can include in a designer portfolio. This book provides the additional practice, that an art college student needs, beyond the basic poster assignments. I am keeping this book to measure my improvement with designing in a professional and efficient way. This is the BEST graphic design book that I have bought on desertcart. This book really helps me to learn, the types of designs that I am interested in doing currently. Furthermore, the other exercises are great to practice, when I grow beyond the basic design phase. I do not need to buy another graphic design book. In the beginning of my journey as a Graphic Designer, I would start with this particular book, and not invest in other design book(s).
Review: Indispensable - This book is still a must have for anybody interested in digital communication. Every chapter contains a bunch of challenges to stimulate your brain and creativity. I love the fact that one uses also one hands, scissors, glue, paper, etc to envision its reflexion about the project as it should always be. The author is a designer, writer and teacher. At the beginning of the book he gives a few useful pieces of advice on how to use one's time to reach the deadline for example. The challenges are definitively various and some of them are really fun. Great to train oneself and acquiert a working discipline. Highly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Learning and Teaching
*by C***B on February 26, 2012*

Creative Workshop is a good book to learn design. Furthermore, it has challenges to teach student designers. The 80 challenges not only get the design juices, but the creative juices flowing. This book is a well-designed design book. It is well crafted and shows progression from one challenge to the next challenge. Content: 4 out of 5 The challenges are great lessons to hone design skills. The teacher's guide actually is useful for teaching. The organization of the book is an excellent design example. The only tool that I wished the book contained was "best" solutions for the design challenges. It is even useful to budding and novice designers. It also presents challenges for master designers. Readability: 5 out of 5 This book is easy to understand. I recommend it to creatives in a variety of fields.
