"Great holiday gift for an overly serioustype fanatic.”
"The book forms a handy designer’s go-to for the rules of typography and other more general pearls of wisdom. Andit certainly seems as though the book practices what it preaches: each page isbeautifully set out and thoughtfully illustrated, set off with quotes fromgraphic designers and typefolk from the around the globe over the last hundred years"
“In these pleasing and educational books,it is not about laying down the law. In each book, Van Gaalen refers to quotesby famous fellow designers, who either think there is something to the rule orhave made a personal variation of it. Whether you agree with them or not, the Ridiculous Design books sharpen your own thoughts about the rules and theassumed truths of design, advertising, fashion, photography and the Internet.”
