Lots of examples; little context January 3, 2007
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
Surprise me: Editorial Design is nothing but examples arranged in categories. There is something here for the serious designer to gleen from exposure but any help from the author as to criteria for inclusion or particularly striking examples is missing. Since the aurthor is German, many of the examples are European and most reprersent the kind of swiss-griddy laid-back style that finds little currency among contemporary (read:young) audiences. Still, there are things here that can inspire a magazine designer, but there was little to "surprise me."
