Summary: Excellent for Creative Constipation
Comment: What a fantastic book! I work in a home office - lacking daily interaction with other creatives, I often find myself unmotivated and stuck for ideas. When I'm having "one of those days" I grab this book, randomly open it to a page and get started. Providing me with a little fun while flexing my creative muscles has earned this book a permanent place on my desk.

Summary: Creative creativity developer
Comment: I haven't done every single exercise, but I'm working on it. It just gives you a different perspective of how to use your own ideas. I recommend it for exercising your brain, and keeping your head occupied in creative stuff.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good ideas, bad presentation
Comment: I had heard so many good things about this book but was so disappointed when it arrived; the pages were so full of junky type styles and so badly designed that I could hardly bear to look at it long enough to read it! Creative people (the target audience) need a book that is well-designed as much as they need a book that is well-written. I might also mention that the production values were very poor; the book feels cheaply made.

Summary: Excellent Ideas to keep a team excited
Comment: I manage a small group of creative designers. We take turns picking out an exercise on a monthly basis, and at our meeting share what we came up with. It's a great way to relieve stress and makes everyone loosen up and have a little fun. I recommend this even if you work by yourself, as long as you have self-discipline to follow through.

Summary: Work your mind
Comment: I like the cover at first, but once you open it, you'll be thrilled not only with the layout, but with the content. Very happy I got it.
