A Book about Design: Complicated Doesn't Make It Good

140 pp. | Holt | June, 2005 | Trade ISBN 0-8050-7575-5 $18.95
(4) 4-6 Gonyea makes some important points about design and the relative natures of shape, size, and color on a page. On each spread, a few words on the left are illustrated on the right, but his leisurely pace and stand-up comedian tone may not appeal to all. Unfortunately, the cover design is Gonyea's example of "complicated doesn't make it good."
