A Book About Design
Complicated Doesn't Make It Good
by Mark Gonyea
Review this book!
This clear, concise picture book explores elemental notions of graphic design for young readers. With short, simple sentences opposite crisply colorful illustrations of squares, rectangles, circles, and more, the author shares his thoughts on how lines and shapes need not be wildly tarted up to look good. The notion of space, and how different shapes interact, are just a few of the ideas covered in a picture book whose tag line could easily be "Less is more." Accompanied by full-color illustrations.

Publisher Notes
Takes a creative approach to introducing readers to the fundamental elements of design by using simple shapes, lines, and a sense of humor to explain why complicated doesn't necessarily make a design good.
Media Reviews
"Artists, educators and other fans of Molly Bang's bible, PICTURE THIS (2000), will delight in this energetic treatment of the whys and wherefores of relationship and relativity in illustration and will want it in core collections."
