 Japanese Patterns December 23, 2006
13 out of 14 found this review helpful
The book is beautiful and the patterns are great inspiration but be aware of the following:
-The images in the book are black and white
-The CD-ROM includes images only in TIF, GIF, and PCT only (no .ai)
-The license in the book notes that any commercial use is not allowed unless Pepin Press is contacted (buying the book only allows personal usage).
 Resource for graphic artists. October 27, 2006

The best thing about all the books from Agile Rabbit Press are the CD-ROMs. They come with full 1200 dpi scans (huge) of the images in the books! This is an excellent source of quality art!
Anyone 12 and older who has a copy of something like photoshop can use the magic of "click+alt+shift+backspace" to magically change the black and white images to whatever colour your heart desires.
With this book you could make your own designs without having to recreate an old fashioned Japanese pattern by hand!
 Great Resource February 15, 2006

This book is a wonderful resource for graphic designers. It has an incredible array of different black and white designs and comes with a cd-rom for using them on the computer. Yes, it has no color, but with just about any graphics program you can change that. I've even used a few for background elements in artwork or for the inspiration for the designs of kimonos I've drawn. This is not a picture book, but a look into japanese graphic patterns. Very lovely.
 No Color August 20, 2005

I guess I shouldn't have assumed that the patterns in the book were printed in color, even though the cover of the book sure is colorful. This book is fine if you are looking for black and white images. But, be warned, there's no color in the book other than on its cover.
