Designing for Paper and Pixels - the internet has changed so many factors and so many aspects of this. For example, letterhead is used less frequently due to the omnipresence of email. As a result, designers who once did stationery sets are now creating multiple applications, beginning with letterhead, but also including a fax format which includes the corporate logo and of course the website. This book shows several hundred examples of corporate identity applied to stationery as well as computer screens. This is the first book of its kind.
I like this book better then American Corporate Identity 2002. I think it offers more - it is not only bigger but seams to be more diverse, which I suppose contradicts a bit to the title. It has an index over clients and design firms at the end, other then that the whole book is full of designs.Looking at the inside I think it offers more complete graphic solutions, it has very little text about the design; just who has done it and for whom (therefor I rate it 4 out of 5, instead of 5, some would want to know more about the thoughts behind the design, see more of the whole).Other then that I think it is a great book that you as a designer could use not only for your own inspiration but for the customer as well, to get some ideas about what their competitors are showing and so on. Since it shows a lot of different designs for both print and web it works as a good reference when you want to make sure you are not creating a design for a company that is allready in use by another, as well.
