A new paradigm for this kind of book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
The patterns are interesting and varied, and the files are set up in layers so it is very easy to recolor and play with them in Ilustrator. If you've used the Dover series before, you'll know the annoying limitations of working with black and white TIFFs. This books leaps over those issues, and so the files are infinitely more useful. It's unclear what legal restrictions are placed on the images, but for home users of course this isn't an issue. The book itself has an interesting binding and the images are bright and well printed.
A wonderful resource

I am an invitation and announcement designer (www.bellacartastudio.com) and was looking for new patterns that I could scale and edit as necessary. This is so easy to use--I just brought one of the EPS files into Photoshop, was able to change its scale before opening it (and it becoming a raster image) and then was able to easily alter the colors. It is great! Now I'm looking for more of these types of books with iconic patterns! This was wonderful!
An indispensable resource for graphic designers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Not only are the 100 patterns themselves beautiful but the book demonstrates four color variations for each pattern including their CMYK color formula. Key to the book is that each pattern is found on the CD in both TIFF and editable EPS format. Now that I bought this book I can't wait to use it.
