Why read it?
1 author picked Inside Art Direction as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
For many years, Brower was the art director at PRINT magazine and before that at esteemed book publishing houses. He is a brilliant art director and book designer, and we were co-authors a while back. In this book, Brower explores what art directors do in a design studio vs. a corporation, how the role is different than being a graphic designer and much more. Great interviews with pros are included are well. I admire Brower's award-winning cover and interior design of his book.
From Robin's list on creative advertising, art direction, and typography.
