I am enjoying my holiday
and spending a lot of my free time reading my
books. Finally! On exam periods I try not to pick up a book of my choice
because I don’t want to get distracted. Oh my, how I missed reading books. It’s
about to go down. I usually don’t read several books at the same time because I
forget so quickly but I am just too excited. Oh yeah! Here are my five summer
reads.
’CREATIVE CONFIDENCE’ by Tom Kelley and David Kelley. This
book is inspiring, informative and motivating. Need to boost your creativity? I
think this book will help and guide you on how to think differently and
creatively.
’graphic design school’ by David Dabner. I got this book for
my birthday ages ago. My best friend and I were talking about our dream jobs
and I said that I wanted to work as a graphic designer. For my birthday that
year I got this book from her. This book is a good introduction to graphic design
and as a Multimedia Design student I thought it wouldn’t hurt to reread it
again. It explains in a simple way the fundamentals such as layout, colours,
composition and typography.
’STEN SAKS PAPIR’ by Naja Marie Aidt. Aidt is my favourite Danish
author and her short stories are the best I have ever read. It is because of
her I began writing my own short stories. ‘STEN
SAKS PAPIR’ is her first novel and I wonder if it is as raw and bizarre as
her short stories. 
’BROOKLYN
MAKERS’ by Jennifer Causey. Rereading this book because creative people are
inspiring and so are the pictures in this book. Causey interviews thirty craftspeople
living in Brooklyn who will make you jealous when you read what they do for a living.
