Color plays a significant role in design due to its visual impact and psychological influence on the viewer. Combining two or more colors effectively in a single layout or design can be difficult to achieve without a working knowledge of color theory. As a result, companies will often invest in specialists to aid in color selection for their products or campaigns, letting the experts do what they do best. Color Matching helps demystify the process, providing an introduction to color along with an exploration of six key methods of color matching: warm color, cool color, contrast color, complementary color, similar color and integrated color. Each section includes a variety of preselected color combinations to use along with a multitude of cohesive examples from branding, packaging, product and promotion design.

No other magazine pushed the boundaries of skateboarding and pop culture like Big Brother, the raunchiest, rowdiest magazine to come out of the 1990s. Constantly at the center of much-deserved controversy, the rag has been decried as pornography, bought and unexpectedly dropped by Larry Flynt of the Hustler empire, and credited as the genesis of the Jackass universe; it was also the champion of unknown skaters and featured some of today's biggest names in skate culture when they were just children. Now author Sean Cliver puts a bow on the publication with The Big Brother Book, a collection of covers and spreads from every issue of the notorious publication. Featuring high-quality scans of the magazine itself no production or layout files remain in existence with just enough text to explain what's going on and choice quotes from each issue, this book makes it easy as well as fun to stoop to Big Brother's level.
