Offering indispensle lessons, practical advice, facts, anecdotes and inspiration, this book is a timeless creative bible for all those looking to succeed in life, business and creativity.

I studied art history, not the history of graphic design, so I only learnt about George Lois from his appearance in the documentary Art & Type. I think if I had known about him 20 years ago, I'd have made some different choices. I don't agree with everything he says, but I do agree with much of it. The writing is tight & terse, and even if you don't like what Lois says, you'll almost certainly enjoy the read.

For designers and buyers of graphic design, Damn Good Advice is a must read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not really new advice April 21 2012
Format:Paperback
Picked this book up on impulse and it didn't really provide any "Aha" moments. It's more a bit of a George Lois brag book, lots of pictures of him and his work.
