Louis Ocepek is a designer's designer. He's a painter that designs, a designer that teaches, and a teacher that writes. In short, he's a true Renaissance Man. His method, craft, teaching, and art have been the inspiration for some of the greatest designers around the country. I'm proud to say I was Louis' student at New Mexico State University. For me and my fellow NMSU design grads it's a mark of pride to work under one of our time's greatest designers. Now, he's chosen to pass on his knowledge in the form of this great book. If you were looking for the best way to know the design techniques of the masters -- you've found it. -Michael Critz, Art Director, KVIA-TV ABC-7 El Paso, TX
