Summary: Overdesigned
Comment: The previous reviewer is right on the mark. The book designer intruded into the pieces that are supposed to be the highlight of the book, it took me a few page turns to realize that the grids on top of the full page images were in fact not a part of the pieces on display. What bothers me most about this book is the pretentiousness of the books editors/judges in making this the book that will forever divide the web designers from the print designers. This book is being used by the print firms to suck projects back into their court by putting a "manifesto" of sorts in the back explaining why there are no website projects profiled. They really show their colors by saying websites are poorly designed because the designers are not a big part of the process anymore. What a great way to convince clients that will be looking at this that they need go with a "print firm". They also say that the web suffers from the Jakob Nielson usability first, design last effect. I suggest that other designers (i work in print and the web) follow my lead and burn your AIGA membership cards and forget about collaboration. It seems that the judges do not like working on an even playing field with developers and site arhitects (I would like to see Michael Beirut design global flash narratives across a 6000 page intranet)... hopefully this book will have little effect on our community.

Summary: art not design
Comment: This book is a good example of where art and design go their separate ways. It's a beautiful book, clearly put together by a very creative individual. But it's "designed" very poorly, it doesn't serve it's function. It's hard to read, you can't see the pieces it's supposed to highlight, and the binding breaks very easily because of the chosen materials. Again, they look great, but they don't do their job. Design that's honored by the AIGA should live up to higher standards in my opinion.

Summary: good typographic inspiration
Comment: Sterling miss 2 stars for the cropping, its true that I can't see what the winners' works look like.
But the cropping itself makes the content more interesting.
Think different, .. its amazing that I enjoy reading this book more than any other AIGA publications. I don't get any inspirations from the works. I do get more how Sterling thinks..
