Format:Misc. Supplies
This book has templates for everything you could imagine. Cd jewel case inserts, envelopes, all different paper sizes, business cards, gridded paper, reply slips, billboard sizes. So many templates. You can then easily draw your sketches on each of the template designs you want to use in the book. They are smaller versions but brilliant for quick ideas. The graph paper has become so useful as I can never seem to get hold of it normally. After sketching you can easily translate your designs on to MAC/PC at correct proportions with the Cd of templates
Format:Misc. Supplies
This book is useful to those looking for an interesting way to sketch ideas. However I found that I really was only interested in all the size dimensions and technical information provided at the back of the book. Probably would have preferred a smaller reference book attached to the sketch book to allow easy transportation. Nice template CD is included with all the diagrams used in the book, this is quite helpful. All in all not bad for the price tag.

This is a beautiful book. It's super fun to draw in - and extremely useful for determining formatting when designing print materials for an international audience.
