PThis super-cool boxed set contains all three of Jim Krause's best-selling "Index" books, including Idea Index (graphic effects and typographic treatments), Layout Index (your secret weapon for effective, dynamic layouts) and Color Index (over 1100 color combinations with CMYK and RGB formulas).

 A basic necessity! December 9, 2008
Barbara Staples (Chicago, IL)
I think every college graphic design student is required to get these - and there is a reason for that! They are very tiny, pocket-sized books packaged full of useful, inspirational bits of info to aid you in the design process. It's refreshing to brows through these books when you feel stumped on a project, or you realize you want to branch of from your personal habits - for example I tend to gravitate to the same color schemes again and again! br / br /Plus, these books have cute plastic covers - so you can spit, or snot, or spill coffee on them as you pull all-nighters and they will survive!

J. Collins (St Louis)
This set is well worth it. If you are into graphic design this belongs in your book case just buy it you wont regret it. Very helpful and inspiration set.
I love it! February 24, 2008

Great, easy to use and comes in a cute clear plastic carrying case. Although these are meant for graphic design, I use them for ideas for my oil paintings. My boyfriend uses it for graphic design and he has said it has spurred on several ideas. br / br /I also bought the design essentials index. It comes in a tall slim yellow box and two different books included and and updated book on color.
valuable resource February 13, 2008

I am a design student and use these books on an almost daily basis. While some aspects of them are some what simple as long as you are not going to be using these books to get ideas but rather improve upon an existing idea that you already have then these books are great. Overall there are definitely other books out there that will do the same thing but they wont be able to do it as quickly or as easily.
