I know the name of the column is Wednesday Book Club but my posts are always 1-day late and I missed two Wednesdays already. My goodness! I’m such a bad blogger. But if we consider the other side of the planet, it’s still Wednesday, lol. And I’ll be doing 2 posts to compensate my absences. Good deal?

Anyway, I normally share craft related books for the past few wednesday, but this time, I tend to choose a different genre, if I may call it. As you may know, I’m a self taught graphic designer. Apart from my awesome mentor in this field, Heintje, I developed my style through visuals. A big part of that was books and great photos. As they say, you must really train your eyes to look at beautiful images so your brain will automatically adopt to it.

Then my love for graphic design books flourished. As much as I hate to accept that they are so expensive, they can truly inspire you. One of which is 1000 Greetings: Creative Correspondence Designed for all Occasions by Peter King and Company. This is published by Rockport. Their collection of books are really great. I have some of their books and it’s quite handy whenever I need some light bulb intervention.

There are few 1000 Greetings versions. But this one focuses on personal expressions, from all types of greetings, invitations and gift cards. It’s only 6x6in in size, so you can bring it anywhere. There’s no more reason for you to feel uninspired.

Nonetheless, if you’re good with graphic design, this can truly encourage you to try different things with your talent. This book can open a lot of possibilities with what you can do with paper and incorporate it with your skills.
