Draplin Design Co.: Pretty Much Everything

Full of inspiring tips and advice.

Loads of content for the price, great reading and learning about his background. It’s made a nice gift for my husband and he’s happy with it. The delivery was fast.

Aaron Draplin is a legend of a designer. Like myself he hails from a pre digital era. I look at his designs and they take me back to the 70's and 80's. I highly recommend this book!!! For the budding designer I would also suggest you track him down on social media.

Pretty Much Everything as Want to Read: Love the way Draplin adds a personal journey of the design world. Creates magic with simplicity in content but vibrant in images, Money well spent on knowledge. Love the sketches of the processes he has taken to achieve a final design decision.

You can tell from the cover and how its been printed this book has been made with love and attention to detail.I am a big fan of Aarons and this book totally lives up to his work. Gives me hope that i can make something not half bad in the design world !!Still havent finished reading it as i want to savour every bit but im really glad i bought it. I love the fact that its so positive and just promotes working hard, forget about the fluff and jargon and go for it !

Unique perspective, interesting story & work flow from a branding expert of our time.

This is a really beautiful book and as someone with a real love of good book design, I've found it hugely inspirational. The cover alone is almost worth the price of the whole book. A great look at the body of work of a very talented designer, covering his branding work and giving a glimpse into his working practices.

I'm a Field notes fan. I love the design of the brand and the ethic behind it. So, there was a fair chance that I was going to enjoy at least a part of this book. I enjoyed all of it. The physical design of the book evokes the other work of the man, and I enjoyed getting a deeper insight into him. I recommend it.

It's just so beautiful. If you're a design nerd like me, this book is a must have. He's worked on so many iconic projects and it's all so amazingly layed out. His writing tone isn't serious or pretentious, so it's honestly so relatable, no matter which stage of your design career you're at. Spoil yourself!

Le livre est vraiment très bien, l'emballage est à revoir, je ne suis pas trop exigeant, mais là, c'est vraiment un massacre, l'emballage souple est arrivé déchiré, tout les coins de la couverture abimés. Dommage

Buy it!Spread it!This book is not a game changer.Nevertheless from now on this book will influence my thoughts and actions and will be a true everyday companion for the rest of my life... just simply awesome!
