\"User<\/p>\n

UK-based graphic design firm User Design<\/a> sent me a their house offering \u2013\u00a0a trilogy of books that straddles three different topics; all which makes for a rather interesting read (except for one that doesn\u2019t have text to read from, but still!).<\/p>\n

\"User<\/p>\n

Punctuation..?<\/strong> features the functions and correct uses of 21 of the most used punctuation marks \u2013\u00a0all delivered in a simple one-page per punctuation format. The rather drab subject of punctuation is given a new spin by User Design\u2019s scrawny scribbles, which add lots of whimsy and fun to the topic.<\/p>\n

\"User<\/p>\n

The Journey of Larks<\/strong> is a book filled with play on words, coupled with illustrations and typography to bring home the point. If you love language in all its nuances and glory, this is a book you\u2019d want on your bookshelf!<\/p>\n

\"User<\/p>\n

Their third book, Life<\/strong> is a pure picture book \u2013\u00a0unbridled from any text \u2013\u00a0that features a story about a day in the life of somebody. I find User Design\u2019s line work to be the most interesting in this offering; there\u2019s lots of details to discover if you look closer. Everything looks simple, and yet it isn\u2019t. And that\u2019s life, really.<\/p>\n

What I really liked most was the simplicity of the idea behind these books; as well as how they felt in my hands \u2013\u00a0firm yet reassuringly quirky. See more of User Design\u2019s books at their website<\/a> and you can also order it from Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n
