Draplin Design Co.: Pretty Much Everything

Aaron Draplin is a legend of a designer. Like myself he hails from a pre digital era. I look at his designs and they take me back to the 70's and 80's. I highly recommend this book!!! For the budding designer I would also suggest you track him down on social media.

Loads of content for the price, great reading and learning about his background. It’s made a nice gift for my husband and he’s happy with it. The delivery was fast.

This is a really beautiful book and as someone with a real love of good book design, I've found it hugely inspirational. The cover alone is almost worth the price of the whole book. A great look at the body of work of a very talented designer, covering his branding work and giving a glimpse into his working practices.

Full of inspiring tips and advice.

A uniquely talented design icon showcased in a typically Draplin style. One of the hardest working men in design, Aaron provides his particular point of view in an inspiring and honest fashion, always modest and yet able to engage with his audience on many different levels. I highly recommend this book, not just for Field Notes fans but those wanting to understand what it takes to forge a career in a very competitive industry.

I know this guy off a Lynda.com video, showing how he works. The book is made of a fantastic tactile material and every page is interesting, be it some brand he's designed, a bit of biography or some mockups. I'm not a designer but this is a beautiful book to read or dip into. A Kindle version wouldn't be the same! Inspiring...

This is book incredible and inspirational!! Highly recommend for graphic designer. Very colourful and a good mixture of text and imagery.

I'm a Field notes fan. I love the design of the brand and the ethic behind it. So, there was a fair chance that I was going to enjoy at least a part of this book. I enjoyed all of it. The physical design of the book evokes the other work of the man, and I enjoyed getting a deeper insight into him. I recommend it.

BUENISIMO. Inspirador e impresionante. Cuenta muchas historias sobre su pasado y su experiencia profesional y como apasionado del diseño grafico.

Libro strabordante, come l'autore. Bello bello bello. Stampato da dio (la copertina con i loghi embossed è TOP). Grande pezzo da aggiungere alla collezione: per me imperdibile se amate il Graphic Design pop.

so yea I got this from seeing the youtuber Mumbo Jumo talking about it, he's a big inspiration of mine and I am an artist so I though this could be an interesting read! I have to say it is a really inspiering book, theres a lot of cool designs in here, made some stuff myself and I'm actually really happy with it :D

Dieses Buch ist schön zu lesen und voller Inspiration. Aaron Draplins Geschichte und die sympathische Schreibweise ist auch klasse und eine gern gesehene Abwechslung. Habe dieses Buch gerne Griffbereit für ein oder andere Projekt zum Blättern lohnt es immer.

Draplin é um raro caso em sua profissão. Alguém que se manteve apaixonado e motivado mesmo depois de algumas décadas, que nunca esqueceu de suas raizes e conhece o lado glorioso e o nada glorioso de ser um designer. O livro é ABARROTADO de conteúdo de capa a capa, com esboços e estudos de seus trabalhos e fotografias de todos os objetos que compõem a obsessão de Aaron, desde seus cadernos da adolescência até sua imensa coleção de coleções. Se você quer conhecer o trabalho e a vida de alguém REAL, esse é o livro que você estava esperando.
