Reviews
I dabble with photography and graphic design every now and so often and I found myself using this book for inspiration. It's a wonderful compilation of ads and 70s artwork that gives me vivid ideas for color palettes and texture. I've even used some of these images for direct reference when I was color correcting a few pictures in Photoshop. Love this book.
