DESCRIPTION:
Esquire. Draplin also offers valuable advice and hilarious commentary that illustrates how much more goes into design than just what appears on the page. While all of these brands are vastly different, they share at least one thing in common: a teeny, little bit of Aaron James Draplin. Ford Motors. Draplin is one of the new school of influential graphic designers who combine the power of design, social media, entrepreneurship, and DIY aesthetic to create a successful business and way of life. Pretty Much Everything is a mid-career survey of work, case studies, inspiration, road stories, lists, maps, how-tos, and advice. is the complete package for the new generation of designers.. It includes examples of his work—posters, record covers, logos—and presents the process behind his design with projects like Field Notes and the “Things We Love” State Posters. Burton Snowboa
Don't Buy the Digital Version! P. Miller As one other reviewer mentioned, DO NOT BUY THE DIGITAL VERSION OF THIS BOOK. It is a joke. The publisher should not be pretending like they have a worthwhile digital version to offer. You will not get a high-resolution image of each page, as I had foolishly hoped for. You will get the text of the book stripped of all visual design elements, and the graphical elements will be offered to you as crappy thumbnail images, presented one per page, interstitially, throughout the book. It is terrible. The Kindle sample will give you a good sense for how bad it is. Please don't make the same mistake I did.. The DDC Delivers. Amazon does not. Another awesome design book to add to your collection.Funny, philosophical, and down to earth. I only wish that more designers would put out material like this. This book is packed with quality behind the scenes photos, commentary, and the work itself.I look forward to more to come from the DDC.The only slight I have against this product has nothing to do with the product itself, but the way it is shipped. I received my hardcover book, naked, entombed in a cardboard slipcase. Due to the weight of the book itself, the corners were badly damaged during shipping / handling. It is a disappointing blemish on an otherwise high . Long story shortif you are a designer looking for inspiration from a hell of a guy and an incredible artist, BUY THIS BOOK. I could have written this review before I received the book. I knew it was going to be awesome and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. What I like most about Aaron (aside from his work) is his down to earth nature. He's just a dude making awesome stuff. Not pretentious at all. Get to know him through this book. You won't be disappointed.So far I have read most of the bookincredible imagery. Love the attention to detail that he took crafting each page. Long story shortif you are a designer looking for inspiration from a hell of a guy and an incredible artist, BUY THIS BOOK.Oh and BTW If you've never seen him speak, def
“Aaron Draplin is sort of like the Bernie Sanders of graphic design. Now the designer is dropping a book called Pretty Much Everything (out May 17), and according to the official announcement it’s going to be a ‘mid-career survey of work, case studies, inspiration, road stories, lists, covers, and logos.’ Chances are it’s probably going to be pretty damn funny, too.”
