Summary: After You've Read The Rest, Use The Best!
Comment: I've read literally hundreds of design books and frankly find most of them to be long on theory and have precious little to offer by way of concrete learning and real-world usability. This book (and The Design-It-Yourself Newsletter also by Chuck - which I also own) doesn't overburden the reader with "fluff." It's a pleasure to find a book that tells me what I should know and need to know rather than what some "expert" wants to tell me. These books are practical, useful, clear, and easy-to-follow. Do yourself a favor and invest a very reasonable sum in this book (or any of Chuck's books for that matter), and you will be a better designer for it.

Summary: Start and Finish with Chuck Green's books!
Comment: I've been going to Chuck Green's web site ... for years now, and I've always appreciated his design style. Chuck has a distinctive flair for clean, bold, and professional design - it really hits the mark with me.
I've got all of Chuck's other books and refer to them often, but this is definitely Chuck's best effort to date. The reason is that this time Chuck has included the why's and how's of design, not just the what's. Another thing I've always loved about Chuck's work, whether in a book or on the web, is that he identifies EVERY typeface and piece of clip art he uses. No more wondering how to find out the name of that cool typeface!
All in all, a great piece of work. Let's hope Chuck continues this trend with an entire Design it Yourself series!
Rating: 5
Summary: All consistent 5-star ratings means this is the BEST!
Comment: Who is this book for? Non-designers trying to design their own logos, letterheads & businesscards.
How good is it? It's the best I've come across. And I've gone through hundreds of them. This book helped me design a logo and stationary for more than one business, got my creative juices flowing, gave me a lot of ideas - that I would've never thought about otherwise - and to top it all, gave me STEP BY STEP instruction on how to achieve simple but very elegant, clean & professional results!
The design of the book itself makes you want to buy it the very first time you look at it - very well organized, simple, elegant. Inspires confidence.
Does it deliver the goods as promised? SURE!
Another of Chuck's books that I read ages ago and is highly recommended and valuable even today: The Desktop Publisher's Idea Book. It still sits on my desk/bookshelf, and I go back to it often to get new ideas.
Finally, Chuck's web site - ... - is equally impressive, a treasure chest of ideas & resources for budding or amateur designers exploring the world of design.
Request to Chuck if he reads this - please let us have more of these in a series - Design It Yourself Logos 2, 3, 4... etc. PLEASE!
