About ideabook
I explore how we design — with honesty, clarity, and style.
Ideabook.com has been online since the 1990s, serving as a public notebook on branding, typography, marketing, print, web design, and the craft of clear communication. I’ve written books for Random House, Peachpit Press, and Rockport Publishers, and was a longtime contributor to “Before & After” magazine.
Everything I publish remains public. If you’ve found value in the work over the years, this simply offers a way to support it and help keep it going.
I’m grateful.
— Chuck
