In an attempt to bring dot grids to the masses at an affordable price, I've made this version available at the lowest possible price the publisher will allow me to list it at.
It contains 144 pages of 60# white paper, good for everyday writing and ideation. I wouldn't recommend very inky or fountain pens on it. The cover is a 10pt cover stock with matte finish. This makes it lightweight and flexible. The dots are a light grey and are spaced 4mm apart.
This is a great option for those that just need a simple notebook with a dot-grid pattern.
A version with premium paper, cover and binding are in the works. Visit thedotgrid.com for more information or email [email protected] with comments and suggestions.

MS PowerPoint is just one of the perfect tools used for producing superior book covers as it is geared towards graphical presentations and has the capability to merge colors, textures, fonts and images together in visually pleasing presentations which can be suitably formatted as book covers.
Making your own book covers can be a lot of fun You can do this too, even if you've never done it before.

Author comment: This book is for people who want to publish their book and want to create their own amazing creative book cover.
This book is for people who do not have the means to purchase expensive software, neither have the time to learn how to use complex software.
What do I need? Everything you need may already be in your computer and if not, can be found online for free.
Is this hard? The method itself is pretty easy. The hard part is coming up with ideas for the design for your cover. This book only helps you with the method, not with creating the design concept. This book is not for art professionals or those who are experts at using art software.
This book is not for those who can afford the high cost of hiring someone to create their book cover.

They are comprised of one background color each and then only the "keywords" associated with it. They are at once literal but figurative, figurative but abstract.

Here, readers can gain strategic insights on all aspects of package design. From starting with a blank slate all the way up to a finished product, learn the steps of executing effective package design solutions.

Save money on this book by buying direct from the author at http: //kratie.ghostsigns.co.uk Flying pigs, retro hairstyles and hand grenades are among some of the images found in this book celebrating the art and craft of Cambodia's hand-painted advertising. The book introduces the signs, the people who paint them, and explores their links to Cambodian art, culture and history. The stories of the signs and their makers are inseparable from events in Cambodia over the last 40 years, notably the impact of the infamous Khmer Rouge regime. This crushed both art and commerce, the two spheres of activity straddled by these hand-painted signs. Their rise and gradual fall since this time takes the reader up to the current day and the uncertain future faced by this characteristic feature of Cambodia's streets. In considering the signs, the sign painters speak and share their thoughts, while others provide insights from the perspective of outsiders living and working in Cambodia. These include the author's reflections on his own engagement with the signs, and the stories they tell. This book is his tribute to this charming piece of Cambodian culture that has endured a turbulent past and faces similarly rough waters ahead. The signs featured in this book are given full English translations in a comprehensive notes section. A Khmer translation of the text is also available on the website, alongside a host of other bonus material including videos, additional photographs, and useful links: http: //kratie.ghostsigns.co.uk.

From the Los Angeles riots to the Columbine High School massacre, Americans witnessed events and purchased items that reflected the best and worst of the decade. Bill Clinton's presidency was in jeopardy, the digital age had erupted, and Silicon Valley was affecting everyone on the planet. Meanwhile nudity and sex ruled the pages of magazines, selling everything from haute couture to fragrances and microwave ovens. Nirvana entertained Generation X while the "Greatest Generation" considered purchasing a Probe and something called a Hummer. Super Soakers and the game consoles Game Boy and PlayStation were the new toys, as Super Mario World, Gran Turismo, and Sonic the Hedgehog were warping the minds of young people everywhere. Luxury brands were in demand: shoppers coveted a Gucci bag, a Louis Vuitton tote, a Hermes scarf, or a Prada frock. TWA and Continental Airlines still flew the airways and Volkswagen reimagined the Beetle. It was a decade that seemed safely benign, but was jammed with events and consumption on a grand scale, setting the stage for the 21st century. Featuring six chapters that cover a range of advertising, from food and fashion to entertainment and cars, a Desert Storm's worth of advertising highlights makes All-American Ads of the '90s a must-have compendium for every Beanie Babies-collecting, Simpsons-watching, pog-hoarding, and Harry Potter-loving citizen of 1990s consumerism.

Creating Great Graphic Design on a Budget is both a cost-cutting primer and ideas sourcebook for creating top-of-the-line designs on razor-thin budgets. Design and marketing budgets are getting slashed across the board in every industry around the globe. At the same time customers are spending less, so both businesses and their marketing tools must work harder than ever. This leaves designers in the difficult position of trying to create eye-catching and memorable campaigns on budgets that are a fraction of what they once were. Great designs don't need foil finishes and die-cuts to be effective and memorable, but in today's high-gloss world designers must find innovative ways of connecting with their audience and standing out. Packed with countless ways for designers to cut costs from their jobs, this invaluable primer/sourcebook provides resources for free fonts and art, discusses ways to maximize a print run, profiles unique and inspiring ways of using recycled materials, discusses ways of both maximizing art and using dynamic alternatives to art, and offers tips and techniques for printing jobs in the studio. Throughout the book full-color images of high-concept and beautifully executed designs both inspire readers and clearly illustrate that cutting costs does not mean the work must suffer as a result. In fact, what designers often find is that stronger concepts and more unique designs are achieved when they don't rely on production "bells and whistles" for impact. Less really is more!

Reversing into the Future: New Wave Graphics 1977-1990 is a unique and fascinating book of graphic design history curated from Andrew Krivine's personal and vast collection of original posters, flyers, artworks and memorabilia from the golden age of New Wave. Packed with exclusive artworks and expert texts, this is the comprehensive guide to the unforgettable period of New Wave. Having witnessed an emerging generation of music buyers who'd been energised by punk, major record labels and independents alike went in search of sounds and visions that captured something of the energy and cheeky attitude of punk, while ignoring its political edge. New Wave was embraced by the mainstream music and entertainment industries and used to promote artists who rejected the anti-consumerist, anti-materialistic, black-and-white nihilism of the original punk movement in favour of a more optimistic, humorous and colourful present refracted through the past. In doing so, and as this book illustrates, the New Wave followed Marshall McLuhan's dictum that 'we drive boldly into the future with our eyes fixed firmly on the rear-view mirror'. New Wave artists rejected punk's satirical, parodic and irreverent treatment of rock 'n' roll's original, iconic imagery preferring to display it reverently or referenced with love and affection. Reversing Into The Future: New Wave Graphics 1977-1990 includes graphic designs for, among others, The B52s, Boomtown Rats, Devo, Duran Duran, The Cars, Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson, XTC, Cyndi Lauper, The Police, Simple Minds, Gary Numan, Japan, Blondie, Talking Heads, The Go-Gos, Graham Parker, Nick Lowe, Simple Minds, Frankie Goes To Hollywood and many more. Graphic artists featured include Martyn Atkins, Barney Bubbles, Chris Morton, Malcolm Garrett, Alex McDowell, Tony Wright, Martin Kaye for the Paradiso, X3 Posters, DEVO Inc., Neville Brody, The Designers Republic, Russell Mills and more. A collectable item itself, the book is beautifully produced with front and back cover artwork by world-renowned designers Malcolm Garrett and Chip Kidd. Alongside a vast array of original artworks and graphics from the New Wave period, the book includes text contributions from recognised and respected commentators, critics and designers from the UK, US and Australia. Documenting the incredible impact of New Wave, this is the ideal book for die-hard music fans and graphic design aficionados alike.

This book shows that contemporary approaches to picture based journalism can be traced back through unbroken lines of development from the pioneering work of Stefan Lorant seventy years ago, drawing along the way upon the inspiration of Lorant, his contemporaries and those who followed him. Lorant's legacy continues to influence institutions and individuals alike. As Steven Heller observed, 'There is no telling what photojournalism would be like today if it wasn't for Lorant's efforts.' The influence and legacy of Lorant's picture based journalism and Picture Post in particular have permeated magazines of the time including Life and Look magazines, more recently the colour supplements such as The Sunday Times Magazine as well as Town and Queen. Overall his contribution to 'the creative use of actuality' has changed the way we see the social landscape in such celebrity magazines such as OK and Hello and the television documentary from the early BBC Tonight programmes through to Panorama. New analysis, interpretations, linkages and extended time spans provide considered conclusions of particular interest to those involved with photography, media and communication.
