Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Almost all books on design present the finished article. Rarely do we gain an insight into how visual solutions have been reached or the exploration, experimentation, and embryonic ideas behind them. In this ambitious publication, some one hundred of the world's leading graphic designers and illustrators open up their private sketchbooks to offer a privileged glimpse into their creative process. The result is a visual tour de force.

Samples range from small, discrete typographical explorations to fully fledged illustration ideas, from a few scrappy scribbles and eccentric handwriting to photographic collages and other wacky forms of visual inspiration. Concise and informative texts by the world authority on graphic design provide invaluable commentary on the artists' creative development, their design philosophies, sketchbooking techniques, and visual influences.

The combined effect of such high-level creativity is a treasure trove of design inspiration for professionals, students, or anyone engaged in the visual industries.
