Bob Gill, so far.

That book I mentioned arrived a few days ago.

Inside the cardboard covers are more than three hundred of Gill's most inventive images from his eighteen books, together with a few thoughts about how to get an original idea.

"If anyone who can type can do much of the work previously done by well-paid specialists, what's left for the designer? They have to do things that a typist with a computer can't do. This means they have to be thinkers, problem-solvers, whether they like it or not."

Most of the spreads are sparse with one image per page. Sometimes a single-sentence description will run along the bottom. Gill's work doesn't need much of a description. It's obvious. Not in a bad way, but obvious in the way that we often miss the hidden gem that's right under our nose.

If you don't have any of Bob Gill's books, this is the one to buy. Even if you have two or three, it's still a great addition to the library.
