These books would be an awesome addition to my inspiration library, which currently is mostly saved under my favorites in my web browser. I really need to start stocking my physical shelves….
I agree with Josh! I guess when I start making money as a professional graphic designer I can start collecting these gems. I really love all of these especially the Publication Design cover and the Earth and Moon cover…the subtleness and simplicity is super nice.
I’d also have to agree with Josh and RA_OUL. I have a huge stockpile of great visual resources built up in my bookmarks, but when it comes to magazines and books, I need more. In light of this, I recently purchased a vintage copy of the “Dynamic America” book done by Erik Nitsche while he was working for General Dynamics. I must say, it wasn’t what I was expecting and there’s not enough of Nitsche’s graphic design work within, but there’s lots and lots of other visual candy.
I have to agree with Josh, RA_OUL, AND Rent when I have plenty of digital small images of books but nothing on the physical end, I usually just pick up the latest TOKION and stack those
