Thanks for pre-ordering, itzel, Andy. Great to know.

Ebi, you offered good advice, so I’m very glad I had a chance to change things a little.

To everyone else who has commented, the support throughout the writing process has been amazing. I can’t thank you enough, because there were times I felt like packing it all in.

My mother always says “Ask and you shall receive” and like hell the woman loves to ask. She also never takes No for an answer. While I might not be that bold ALL the time, it is one of those bread and butter quotes everyone ought to have as a mantra. In addition to “no pain no gain”.

I’m loving the new cover and so glad to see the image line up with the text! This is also why I follow your blog, the fact that you are actually listening – I think is a lesson in it’s own right.

Can’t wait to get my book now :D yay!

David,

I’ve been reading your blog’s and updates for quite some time. I have to say, as soon as I saw the Chermayeff & Geismar colors I knew it had to be good!

Congratulations on the book and the review by Tom himself, that is notable achievement for any designer.

What an amazing story. I found it particularly interesting as I myself am getting ready to self publish a book and was interested in getting quotes from other designers/digital artist on the back of the book.

I can’t wait till your book comes out! Its is sure to be an item on most designers Christmas List!

David:

Hello. I saw this post and wanted to comment. I get your posts in my email box and always look forward to it. Great to see that your book is just about over the finish line. I can personally attest to the success of asking for what you want (because you just might get it). You’ll be surprised at what you get. I’m actually just now starting the process of collecting blurbs myself for a book. So this particular post was very relevant to me.

As another person stated, sometimes we just don’t know how brilliant our own ideas and efforts are. Indeed.

Congrats on the quote and the book David.

Best,

Darius

Perfect David!! Sometimes we hesitate perhaps, because we just live this way…doing our best, and we do not realize at all how brilliant our efforts are.

I have already pre-ordered your book!! Look forward to have it in my mexican hands soon!!!

Best regards.
