    Great birds-eye-view starting point for Illustration or Graphic Design
  

*by M***H on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 June 2019*

Read this as a starting point if you are interested in pursuing a career in Illustration or Graphic Design as it gives great insight as to what you can expect to be doing. It is all about conceptual thinking to start with. Of course drawing/style/illustrating/typography/lino print/Photoshop (or whatever your thing is) techniques are important but this book outlines the importance of all the conceptual thinking that lies behind being able to communicate visually. I have been lucky enough to have been educated by the author for a few years myself and while his style of writing (as Mark himself is too) can seem a bit chaotic and overwhelming to get used to at first, I think he is fantastic at making you see the wider picture of the whole field and providing hundreds of ways and avenues in which you can start to explore things further while still keeping everything as concise and snappy as possible in one book which almost tries to cover everything. These books are such a great birds-eye-view starting point and counterbalance the hundreds of available books that merely/mainly focus on technique alone rather than content creation (for drawing techniques I’d recommend Andrew Loomis as a great starting point). Thing is-once you figure out what and how you plan to communicate visually, it will give you greater focus as to what technical skill set will be most important to you personally, therefore giving greater career focus. I found it a very useful read indeed.

    A useful but not amazing sourcebook
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 April 2009*

This is a stimulating source book containing a lot of interesting visual material and a handful of quite stunning images.  The text is not particularly informative and I'm guessing is aimed at beginning students, aiming to teach them some big new words for quite straightfoward things.  Much of the text is in the form of lists which, apart from those giving the names of interesting artists to follow up, are not terribly informative.  The book has not taught me how to do anything new or triggered any great flashes of insight or inspiration. However, it did point me towards the work of George Grosz, who has become my new current favourite 20th Century artist.  I can imagine that I will browse the images in this this book again from time to time.  Useful but not amazing.
