This book is awesome. Its a hands-on way of creating beautiful pieces of artwork rather than staring at a computer screen. I highly recommend it!

This book should be on the desk of all aspiring graphic artists and illustrators. Wonderfully designed with emphasis on the artwork, NOT the authors' ego-centric design skills.
Designs include:
Wine lables
Posters
LP covers
Menus
T-shirts
Book covers
Theater/theatre/concert posters
CD (disc and liner notes)
Snowboard
Magazine illustration
DVD cover art
Coasters
Tactile components
(green) Holiday card
Media kit
Stamp sheets
Folded notes (not origami)
Embossed paper
A sundial watch (!!)
3D art/functional design
Recycled backpack
Calender
...and a directory of over 60 contributors: most are from the U.S. with some as far away as Switzerland.
I am certain that you will be amazed by the content of this book. There is surely something for every artist. I highly recommend this book!

Fingerprint is a feast for the eyes and the spirit. Simply delicious. It's one of the most inspiring books I have ever seen and I have not let it out of my sight since I got it. I want to crawl inside this book and roll around on the pages.
Fingerprint features graphic designs with handmade elements. Next to the amazing art are notes by the designers. I love this. The artists tell you they used a pencil, a photograph, and a scanner. They don't tell you how you can get this identical look by buying 12 different products that cost lots of money. It's art without a sales pitch, which is rare these days. Everything in this book is unique and there's so much personality jumping from the pages.
Buy it, you will LOVE it.
