Forget All the Rules About Graphic Design: Including the Ones in This Book
Bob Gill Manufacturer: Watson-Guptill Pubns ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0823018644 |
Customer Reviews:
He's tough!!.......2002-10-08
Unforgettable Classic.......2001-01-14
While the work presented here has a very dated 70's look to - that not what's important. The idea behind the work is that the graphic design communicates an idea. Each page in the book starts by giving you an "orginal problem" from a client - and then shows how Gill comes up with a solution to to not only solving the problem , but to redefine it. Gill uses a wide range of styles to solve his problems including plain typography, illustration and photography. His work is very clever, and is the opposite of people who just make pretty pictures.
This book would also be great for a copywriter or anyone trying to understand creative communication. If you can't get your hands on this book, I would suggest "A Smile in the Mind" published by Phaidon, which includes many bits of work found in "Forget all the rules about graphic design". However I hope the publisher will do a reprint, because this book should be read by every student of graphic design.

Good for beginners and advanced beginners.......2004-03-07
I've always been pretty good at basic to intermediate graphite sketches and I wanted to take my drawings to the next level. If you're a beginner or an advanced beginner, then this book will probably help you. If everything I have written here is old hat to you, then you should probably look for something more advanced. As I said this book is a quick and dirty break-down of different drawing media and their techinques. It does not attempt to give in depth information on all media and the techniques associated with them.

How to Use Real Estate Options to Control Undervalued Property: Everything You Need To Know About Real Estate Options: What They Are, How They Work And ... Report (Special Report Publications, Llc).)
Thomas J. Lucier Manufacturer: Special Report Pub Llc ProductGroup: Book Binding: Spiral-bound ASIN: 0945343086 |
Book Description
How To Use Real Estate Options To Control Undervalued Property is currently the only publication of its kind in print that focuses exclusively on how savvy investors can use "straight or naked" real estate options to control undervalued properties with immediate resale profit potential!Other than to give you a detailed explanation of the difference between a "straight" real estate option agreement, and a "genuine" lease-option agreement, this special report doesn't delve into the more popular "lease-option" strategy that everyone and his brother has written about in recent years.
How To Use Real Estate Options To Control Undervalued Property is a one-of-a-kind special report written specifically for serious, reasonable, rational, intelligent, goal-driven, action-oriented, reality-based adults willing to take calculated risks to use straight real estate options to profit from various types of undervalued properties.
This special report contains very specific, detailed information, complete step-by-step instructions and ready-to-use checklists, worksheets, sample agreements and letters. You also get a heavy dose of practical, no-nonsense advice on how to avoid the pitfalls that plague most uninformed and unsuspecting novice real estate option investors.
In How To Use Real Estate Options To Control Undervalued Property, you'll get the lowdown on:
1. Why all title transfer documents must be held in escrow during the option period.
2. The difference between a "straight" real estate option agreement and a "genuine" lease-option agreement.
3. How to insure real estate options with title insurance.
4. The most profitable types of properties to buy real estate options on.
5. How to perform due diligence on potential option properties.
6. How To use the Internet, property wanted ads, "bird-dogs," finder's fees and direct mail to locate potential option properties.
7. How to make money in real estate without ever having to buy any property.
8. How to negotiate low cost real estate options and below market purchase prices.
9. How to properly prepare your real estate option agreement so that your position as optionee is fully protected during the option period.
10. How to package, market and sell your real estate options for maximum profit.
The main benefit of using straight real estate options is that they give investors the controlling interest in undervalued properties, without having to incur the cost, liability and responsibility that go along with outright ownership. They provide the opportunity to make money in real estate without ever having to buy any property!
When properly used on the right types of undervalued properties, straight real estate options provide an excellent low-cost, low-risk, high-profit potential property control technique that knowledgeable, savvy investors should add to their repertoire of real estate investment strategies.
Please be forewarned that this special report contains certain four-letter words and concepts that may be deemed offensive by card-carrying members of the get-rich-quick crowd!
That's because, unlike the roving weekend real estate carnies, late-night, cable-TV hucksters, Internet real estate whiz kids, and a certain Harvard Business School graduate posing as a "real estate savant," the author, Tom Lucier, doesn't claim to know-it-all, and you'll never hear Tom promise to make you a real estate option millionaire by the third Thursday of the month!
