Product Description
Idea Index kick-started a revolution in graphic design books, unique in size, feel--and most important--wealth of ideas. Layout Index is the next step, a compendium of layout idea-generators that will help designers explore multiple possibilities for visual treatments each time they turn the page. The visual and textual suggestions are divided into eight major areas, including newsletters, flyers, posters, brochures, advertising, stationery, page layout, and Web pages. Each of these examples are designed to inspire effective solutions in the viewer's mind, rather than simply give specific answers to design problems. The tone and temperament of the design problems, as well as their solutions, vary from traditional to cutting-edge, from corporate to crazy. Designers will learn to solve their design problems, produce fantastic work and become better, more creative thinkers. * Both creativity books and layout books are extremely popular
* As proven by Idea Index, the format of this book is a proven winner with designers

Essential Books for designers April 13, 2009
Melissa Bozarth (USA)
The How Design Books by Krause are by far the best design related books I've ever read. Its easy to follow and a big help for those of us just getting into the industry or still in school. These books are important tools i always keep within arms reach when working on a project.
 not very good examples March 15, 2009
Kensey
This book cam with the color index and idea index when I purchesed it. The others were better than this one. The examples are pretty hideous and didn't offer the kind of inspiration I wanted. I rated the color book much better.
 Great idea-starter March 2, 2009
Lydia Norvell
This book is a great way to jump start your mind and get the creative juices flowing.
 Good, but kind of dated May 27, 2008
Julia Mathias (Rio de Janeiro, Brasil)
This book can give some ideas on layouts, but the designs on it are very dated. So if you want to take anything good from the book you have to focus more on estructure, and how information is organized on the layout, rather then on the overall design. It's a good book for starters but I prefer Graphic Design Cookbook: Mix & Match Recipes for Faster, Better Layouts. The ideas there are simple, but because of that, never dated.
