Reviews

A typographic feast that showcases modern work, exploring his creative process along with his personal and artistic motivations.-- "Print Magazine"

More than a collection of images. . . . The section of sketches is what proves to be most illuminating; the stormy mind of Apeloig unfolds as he brainstorms and experiments on paper and in digital form.-- "Cool Hunting"

Typorama could be required design history reading, but its real value lies in [the] examples of the creative process. Will the lessons be lost on today's designers, who work in a nanosecond, nanobyte world? Will they want to spend the time that the volume demands? One can only hope the answer is yes.-- "Communication Arts"

Will become essential reading for anyone with an interest in the recent history of graphic design.-- "Juxtapoz"
