The collection is nice to look at, clean lines make it look professional yet the colors make it fun.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07549274093129621529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10466335.post-34099360904351169162008-11-17T12:45:00.000-06:002008-11-17T12:45:00.000-06:00anon12:27: LOL.anon12:27: LOL.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11382230402711258215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10466335.post-67347651193211383162008-11-17T12:27:00.000-06:002008-11-17T12:27:00.000-06:00Big dot sitting on little dot (top) reminds me of ...Big dot sitting on little dot (top) reminds me of looking down the barrel of a gun, which also works with the concept of managing employee empowerment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10466335.post-31766981019897546002008-11-16T08:40:00.000-06:002008-11-16T08:40:00.000-06:00Just stumbled across your blog and was instantly f...Just stumbled across your blog and was instantly fascinated! What a great idea! I know that book covers and design influence me a lot as a reader. I've picked up several books to read based solely on the cover design so I think it truly makes a difference. (I've also unfairly judged a book based on its cover.) Checking out your blog also made me realize how "attached" I can get to a cover--when I see a book I love but without the cover that I had, I feel displaced. And some covers just stay with you forever. I read "The Great Gatsby" years ago but the cover (dark blue with a woman's dripping eyes, red lips and some lights at the bottom) is clearer to me than the story even. It made such a huge impression. If I see a copy of the book without this cover, I just don't feel right about it. <BR/><BR/>I plan to link to your blog on my blog about reading and book (http://findyournextbookhere.blogspot.com/) as I think the book design is such an important part of the reading experience.<BR/><BR/>I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on the Kindle if you have time. How would book design be affected if books end of going in this direction? I have a discussion about it on my blog and I'd love to hear your point of view. If you already posted about this (I didn't see it), my sincere apologies.Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10466335.post-41426807007000808182008-11-14T10:02:00.000-06:002008-11-14T10:02:00.000-06:00I think these are just fabulous although I think I...I think these are just fabulous although I think I might prefer them without the extra illustration.... but then again, I'm a sucker for a pretty pattern!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10466335.post-7742369628671107572008-11-13T19:41:00.000-06:002008-11-13T19:41:00.000-06:00mmmm… setsmmmm… setsT-Bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14555671866228741771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10466335.post-58281715174606657582008-11-13T12:55:00.000-06:002008-11-13T12:55:00.000-06:00love the patterns.

Feels like some of the things David Pearson did for Ridley:<BR/><BR/>http://www.davidpearsondesign.com/ridleyscottassociates.html<BR/><BR/>There is something very rigid and structured about using patterns that fits the business sensibility well.<BR/><BR/>The little images are very well thought out.

Or maybe too busy?<BR/><BR/>It reads more as a neutral color than as anything geometric, so the bottom field looks empty (rather than populated with shapes, which is how the other covers look).<BR/><BR/>(To me, anyways.)Mitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06738629079376888798noreply@blogger.com
