The publisher should not be pretending like they have a worthwhile digital version to offer. You will not get a high-resolution image of each page. as I had foolishly hoped for. You will get the text of the book stripped of all visual design elements. and the graphical elements will be offered to you as crappy thumbnail images. presented one per page. interstitially. throughout the book. It is terrible. The Kindle sample will give you a good sense for how bad it is. Please dont make the same mistake I did.54 of 55 people found the following review helpful. The DDC Delivers. does not.By aphextimAnother awesome design book to add to your collection.Funny. philosophical. and down to earth. I only wish that more designers would put out material like this. This book is packed with quality behind the scenes photos. commentary. and the work itself.I look forward to more to come from the DDC.The only slight I have against this product has nothing to do with the product itself. but the way it is shipped. I received my hardcover book. naked. entombed in a cardboard slipcase. Due to the weight of the book itself. the corners were badly damaged during shipping / handling. It is a disappointing blemish on an otherwise high quality piece of work.. you are doing this book a disservice.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Pretty Much The Greatest Design Book EverBy finnllowAn inspirational kick in the pants. Aarons book shows his rise to the top and that theres hope for the rest of us mdash; if we put in the work! His life-long attention to detail is showcased throughout the book. resulting in an intimate. behind-the-scenes look at our favorite underdog graphic designer. Aarons transparency is refreshing and his personality comes through on every page; my favorite is the 2-page spread on his dog. Gary! If this book doesnt inspire you to create something new and to start your own thing. Im not sure if anything else will. For many of us designers. this is what we aspire to become. so its nice to see one of the good guys win.If youve been on the fence to purchase the book or if youve (been living under a rock?) never heard of Aaron. dont hesitate! You will love this book! I think everyone will be able to see a little piece of themselves inside.What this book is not:This is not a text book or instructional book that is going to give step-by-step instructions on how to become a graphic design legend.What this book is:The book is full of inspiration from thumbnail sketches to logo variations and DDC merch.Best of all. the book is a steal on . but in general when it comes to premium design books. This could easily be priced at double or triple the price and still be highly sought-after and one of the most demanded graphic design books in recent years.Now. go make some vectors!
