"Hooray - Grafik has found an attractive textbook. Color Management
is your manual to everything colour in all fields of visual communication. While the subject matter might seem a little dry, Drew and Meyer have managed to fill 220 pages for this meaty hardback. With an accompanying CD featuring a 10,000-hue swatch system and Acuity software, Color Management guides the reader in a series of areas from colour theory to colour legibility. You can even discover how to use colour to evoke certain psychological responses, or, from a technical point of view, the appropriate colour requirements for web and print-based design. The pages are filled with thorough diagrams and comprehensive step-by-step directions. A handsome and helpful addition to any designer's bookshelf.

This book delivers the inside story on colour theory for all the fields of visual communication. If that isn't enough for you, 'The excellent choice of examples used to illustrate the information mean it's also a very inspirational read.’
