"It is astonishing what an effort it seems to be for many people to put their brains definitely and systematically to work."
- Thomas A. Edison

Things I Have Learned In My Life So Far
Oct 13, 2009
I picked up this book fairly recently, realizing that I was extremely late to do so. I remember all the of initial public shock of the books first days on shelf, but I just couldn’t find the time to pick it up. At a point when I was desperately looking for inspiration, and not finding it online, I decided to take a step away and go hunt down this amazing book.
The fairly large front cover and large type on the sides made it quite easy for me to find it on a shelf of hundreds. Once I found it, a rushed smile appeared to my face as I instantly knew this would entrap my inner design humor. There is a funny sense of humor designers and artists sometimes have, mostly just being so blatantly childish that it just makes anyone smile. But our “designer smile” also pops out because of the second thought we have, which most times shows through as an inner monologue saying something like, “Man, why didn’t I think of that.”
The book contains hours of effort and planning, which isn’t seen often
The depth of this book proceeds further than it’s very visual cover, very modular and transforming nature, and the very bright content. The book contains hours of effort and planning, which isn’t seen often. The content is simply useful, not in the fact that it’s just useful, but what I mean is that if you don’t find the content to be insightful, you’re probably not looking hard enough. It’s quick, to the point, and instantly inspiring. A journal, bible, and trophy for all Graphic Artists and collectors.

I have this book at home on my shelf. It’s great to pull out in times of much needed inspiration. I’m glad you finally were able to pick up a copy for yourself.
I got this book as a gift a couple months back and it’s still one of my favorites. I really liked Sagmeister’s thoughts in Helvetica so this book was a must read. Nice pickup!
Cool book.
