Okay I'm going with what I think is a fair 3。5。 I'm new to the creative industry and I wanted a book with great visuals to lean on, and helpful advice。 This definitely delivers in that sense。 However, this book was published by Brand Nu (Malinic's company), and it's littered with typos, spelling errors, and straight up mistakes。 There are sentences in this I read multiple times only to realise that they just weren't finished or had been backspaced and adjusted without reading the whole thing。 If Okay I'm going with what I think is a fair 3。5。 I'm new to the creative industry and I wanted a book with great visuals to lean on, and helpful advice。 This definitely delivers in that sense。 However, this book was published by Brand Nu (Malinic's company), and it's littered with typos, spelling errors, and straight up mistakes。 There are sentences in this I read multiple times only to realise that they just weren't finished or had been backspaced and adjusted without reading the whole thing。 If this was proofread at all, whoever proof read it should be embarrassed。 Additionally, I'm sure this book has no visual problems as an e-book。 The photos/pdfs of this look stellar。 But in print, the colours are weird, white text is set against white or very over exposed photos making it unreadable。 It feels ironic for a book about design。 Overall I really liked this, I feel like I'll be going back to it for tips and for visual inspiration, but wow what a shocking printing job。 It really docked points for me。 I hope the second one is better。 。。。more

Yep, good book。 Lots of good advice and some really excellent designs。 Malinic is very talented。 Printing of the book was however really cheap, which is a shame。 Sits on my desk alongside volume two。

The book is visually stunning and feels great in your hands。 The attention to detail and the craftsmanship of the book is so good。 The content inside is inspiring and has something for all types of designers。

This is such a great little book with short reads。 Well written and so engaging。 Can't wait for the second。 My only wish is that the artwork featured throughout the book could have been explained - there's no explanations as to where concepts came from, programmes used or journeys taken。 This is such a great little book with short reads。 Well written and so engaging。 Can't wait for the second。 My only wish is that the artwork featured throughout the book could have been explained - there's no explanations as to where concepts came from, programmes used or journeys taken。 。。。more

First of all, it's important to say I'm a biased reader。 The author, Radim Malinic, is a friend。 Still, I think (and hope) this is a fairly objective review。Many designers release books focused on their work。 A few designers release books focused on their lives。 Book of Ideas blends both forms, while also adding a third—advice to the young designer。Billing it as "a memo from the diary I never had", Malinic shares his view on the issues that he and many creative professionals must deal with。 From First of all, it's important to say I'm a biased reader。 The author, Radim Malinic, is a friend。 Still, I think (and hope) this is a fairly objective review。Many designers release books focused on their work。 A few designers release books focused on their lives。 Book of Ideas blends both forms, while also adding a third—advice to the young designer。Billing it as "a memo from the diary I never had", Malinic shares his view on the issues that he and many creative professionals must deal with。 From self-promotion to work-life balance, via "bad" clients and creative block, you'll find words on just about every topic, all interspersed with selections from the vast body of work under the Brand Nu portfolio。The book—like Radim's work in general—is a study in colour。 Tidy, balanced type offsets the vibrant hues on each page。 If you're familiar with the work, you'll enjoy seeing it presented in a new way here。 If you aren't, you're in for a treat。 。。。more
