Theo12/21/2008

I have been quite engrossed in the world of graphic design for about two years now as it is one of the most interesting forms of creative experimentation and development that i have seen from alot of other things.. i have just started my graphic design course at college and i cant wait to go to college 3 times a week just to learn more about what i can do in the creative industry! I feel i am "worthy£ of the prize because i show a vast interest of the graphic design industry and i would love to have a physical media to reference to. sorry for the essay haha

phractured12/21/2008

I need the book because I am just short enough to not be able to reach my floor button in the elevator, this extra half inch will get me there, I am sure!

David Mead12/22/2008

Hey Guys,

I need this book because it is the field guide for my journey through space. Without it, I will be lost in the cold darkness for the rest of time. But with this book I will be successful and will complete my mission to find the secret of eternal life said to found on a distant star somewhere around the Horse Head Nebula.

In case you're wondering I'll be taking my ship, The Silver Sparrow. It can travel 100,000 times the speed of light, so I hope to make it back in time to watch the next episode of Battlestar Galactica. Because what's the use of living forever if you can't watch Battlestar Galactica or enjoy excellent books such as Wandering Off Into Space.

Thanks,
David

Must be the prequel to lost in space. Danger Will Robinson

Aiden12/22/2008

I would love this book because I'm just learning to read and need the practise. Plus it looks to have heaps of pretty pictures in it.

kidcolor12/22/2008

Inspiration is a thing feel, motivation is another getting them both is the creation you need.
its always a vision getting the type of creation but when you see and feel the art you will be determined to work hard. thats what was on my mind when i saw the book. thank you

Anonymous12/22/2008

I need this book because all I ever do is wander off into space. now i just need a way to show everyone else what that space looks like.

Podginator12/22/2008

Why I need that book: Well,the 2nd to last picture I saw in a friends Advanced Photoshop, I love it, and was dying to see more work from that artist. I also, as anyone does, loves inspiration and can never get enough of it, especially ones with the amount of colour that one has.

also, I like turtles.

The universe bears everything in existence and is infinite. Anyone who takes the time to hop out of the corporate world to appreciate that for a moment, or base a whole graphic portfolio on, deserves mad props. I'm thinking this book is loaded with inspiration and creative techniques, those are exactly what I need to excel in my graphic endeavors. ABDUZEEDO is the best.

Most people think there are only 3 dimensions in our universe.
I have come up with 7 so far, but i guarantee there are endless dimensions.

1st Dimension: a line (point to point)
2nd Dimension: example; a square
3rd Dimension: example; a cube
4th Dimension: space-time; concept of order or processes
5th Dimension: consciousness; controlling the process
6th Dimension: Synergy; combining conscious minds
7th Dimension: Replication; Viral form of dimensions 1-6.

Michael Knepprath12/22/2008

I want it.
And I have no money.

Only you can solve this dilemma.

simonkind12/22/2008

I am a high school student in Canada. Around a year ago I stumbled upon the world of typography and ever since I have been obsessed with all areas of visual arts and graphic design. I am still working hard to learn as much as I possibly can about art history as well as the current art and design scene. Each day I look forward to the "daily inspiration" on Abduzeedo and since I have become somewhat of an art geek the "best of the week" is sometimes the most exciting part of my weekend. I realize this is kind of long and most of you don't care but I would love to win this to serve as inspiration towards my own style and future as an artist.

Cabron12/22/2008

Well.. because in this christmas someone from a fair away galaxy just abduct our dear Santa to learning some awesome design, so the only way for win this is by yours... and Santa should be delivered late on '09...

Bobby12/22/2008

I need it because I am a design student, and I will be successful. One day I will namecheck abduzeedo as a source of my success. So please help accelerate my learn! thanks!

Setth12/22/2008

Eu ia adorar ganhar esse livro, pois além de não poder pagar um (afinal sou um mero estagiário em uma agência de webdesigner), eu não sei se teria acesso a essa bela obra aqui na minha cidade.

tenmonkey12/22/2008

I am a Chinese guy who really really love design with passion, and I spend my most of time on it. Abduzeedo is my favourate site too, I read it on everyday seriously. My biggest dream is to be someone like these designer here.

Because in our country there aren't so many kind of design books, but I really want to know the latest of design trend, so can u give it to me?

Thank you very much and merry Christmas :)

ksustud12/22/2008

I am in college and dirt poor.

Torey12/22/2008

I need this book. I love this particular artist, and admire his work immensely. I just don't have the cash to buy another book, and Christmas shopping is over! I am a student of Digital Arts, with just a few terms to go. Every little bit helps!

Torey12/22/2008

Oh yeah, and I forgot to add that this book will help me manage my adult onset attention deficit disorder... I got distracted by the pretty blinky lights on my ...

Torey12/22/2008

... Oh!

On my macbook pro. Did you know if you cover up the speakers with your hand the light from the monitor? It does. I love it.

jasonpang12/22/2008

I'll love to have the whole universe in my hands. It gives me the feeling that I've got the power to change the world.

JakeHayes12/22/2008

I will be going to college next year and this book is a big inspiration for me and i believe with a goal to be as good if not better then Chuck Anderson in the future this book will allow me to set that goal and see what i gotta do to get there.

Angel Feliciano12/22/2008

The fact that you donate $2 for every book sold to Invisible Children goes without saying.. Those pages can be filled with white and it will still tell me alot about Chuck Anderson.

I need as much inspiration (and free stuff, as an almost-college student) as I can get.

Tarazz12/22/2008

I really don't WANT this book, because i can view Chuck Anderson's work online.

Unfortunately, i don't carry my PC around with me everywhere, i always need inspiration and this book would make a great addition in my book bag next to sketchbook and pencil.

So I NEED IT!!!!

y.c.g12/22/2008

My life is very plain and boring at the moment, living in a box..four plain walls and a door. This book would allow me to escape the box, fly off and travel the universe..finding and bringing new ideas to people around the world, ultimatly creating world peace...or chaos.

OLIVEIRA12/22/2008

im a 17 year old needing to get into university for graphic design, and i would really need this book to help explore my own thoughts and advancing my skills both on computer and paper by giving me real great design idea's

jhughes9212/22/2008

Well you see... I kinda sorta REALLY need this book.

About 6 months ago I was abducted by ALIENS, and since then, I have been surfing around space with them. Anyways, after visiting about 50 different galaxies in the last couple of months, I gave the aliens a request: I asked if they could bring me back to Mother Earth.
Soon after I asked this question they were all very confused. Then one of them turned and asked in response, " Why exactly do you want to return so soon?"
"Well," I said, "I wish to return because the one thing I miss the most is my daily dose of graphic design from Abduzeedo.com. And I have been anticipating the arrival of Chuck Anderson's book for some time now. I MUST have it."
At first they hesitated, but as soon as I showed them NOPATTERN.com, my extraterrestrial friends agreed to take me home! They enjoyed Chuck's work so much, that they insisted on getting a copy of that book! However, since my friends don't posses any kind of earthly money, this is the oppurtunity of a lifetime! And if Abduzeedo doesn't provide them with a free copy, they threaten to abduct Chuck Anderson himself and then destroy Earth!

So, as you can see I am in serious need of this free book. I hope you can find it in you to save Mother Earth and preserve mankind.

Thank you for your time. :)

mbithi12/22/2008

Hi,

I'm an aspiring designer, from Nairobi, Kenya...Africa.Don't own a credit card, so can't buy it from his site. I am a huge fan of Fabio's and the whole Abduzeedo team(you are my home page,not gmail). I am short. I hope to become an inspiration to others just as you guys and Chuck Anderson are to myself and others.
And last but not least...I am fat...c'mon have a heart=)!

Hope I get it. If I don't...its fine...i'll just eat some more to get through my disappointment. Would you want that guilt hanging over your head(",)?

Keeping my fingers crossed.

ABDUZEEDO ROCKS!\m/

Overflow12/22/2008

I wake up at 5 am everyday. It took 2 hour to get to my office. The office day starts at 8 am to 6 pm. Another 2 hours to get to home. I open my photoshop at 9 pm, trying to make something new everyday, but inspiration hardly shows up when you exhausted from work. When i get that book, i'll destroy my cubicle, say good bye to my job, then i'll wandering off into space!!!

Joshua Michie12/22/2008

Both Chuck Anderson and the folks at abduzeedo have played a major part in my growth as a designer. Both have proved that one can successfully pursue a lifestyle of design. "Wondering off Into Space" will keep my inspiration up and the jadedness that threatens every creative at bay. It will also solidify my already giant respect for Chuck and all the amazing work he's pumping out.

Eric G12/22/2008

I need it because its cold as hell here in Indy and this book is HOTT!

warm me up Abduzeedos!

juicebox12/22/2008

This book will be my pornography...

endless12/22/2008

Honestly,ive been inspired when looking at No pattern website,and having this book would be simply amazing for me as graphic designer.But this abduzeedo website itself have inspired me daily.

roel_azw12/22/2008

inspiring by colourfull rainbow mix with atmosphere taste it's really great taste for design. What next ??....i wish i can fly to this rich imagination with my own creation nd this books become my magic book.......amin

Daniel12/22/2008

I need the book because there's no one around in my area that's into this art. I'm all by myself. I need some new inspiration. Not online but from books. I've got a sister who's into graphic design (thank GOD) so she sometimes comes with new books. But I need this book from Chuck Anderson, because he has been through the same like me; at one point we both had no job, not in school, no income, no nothing.

Anyways, I'm not the only one here who wants the book. Would be cool to have a present with x-mas.

Lunik3312/22/2008

Well, i will use this great book before to go to bed, this way my dreams could be much more pleasure and colorfull.

my english sucks :)

simons12/22/2008

my victory in the tshirt competition was taken away from me...just give me the book.

wozkol12/22/2008

With this book I'll wander off into space, looking for the origins\inspiration of those unique designs. My simple 'earthling' mind can't understand how an illustration can be so delightful, so powerful.

Abhisek12/22/2008

I Want is because honestly i like this book as a whole starting form its title to its cover design to the inner content artwork selection and its layout. A graphic designer should and must have books such as this for times when he needs inspiration just by looking as nice artwork. For I believe that Inspiration can come from anything but one should have something really worked upon to give your thoughts a direction a spark inside your head to help you start to think or to keep going on. And I know designers will definitely understand what I mean from 'keep going on'. This book would be best given to a Graphic Designer, any who loves art such as in this book.

thank you.

Perttu Murto12/22/2008

I need this book that I can check Chucks works without a computer and internet! And that will save energy. And that will save our nature, which will save the earth!

So it's a win - win situation. :)

faberdesign12/22/2008

Chuck Anderson is a superhero.

He daftly combines two of my favorite things - long exposure photography and vibrant colors. For most people, including myself, trying to combine these two disparate elements has been difficult, but because Chuck Anderson is a superhero, he can perform these tasks effortlessly.

And I hear he can make traffic lights turn green just by looking at them intently.

Dunlap Studios12/22/2008

I need this book because it's incredible! Chuck Anderson is the man!

rydenbreeze12/22/2008

A book is another way to "wonder off into space" I love to wonder off into space.

Cory12/22/2008

That book is GANGSTA YO!!!

I work in a cube and work alone in a Marketing department. I can use the inspiration called "Wandering Off Into Space" since sometimes I feel all alone in the office and no one is near me as if I were floating in the vast abyss of the universe....sniffle sniffle. I need the book to keep me company, COME ON being alone sucks!!!

Ray12/22/2008

I think this book will help me wander off into space where I could find the inspiration needed to design.

trashrockx12/22/2008

HELP!

I'm currently floating - wandering, if you will - in space after my vessel had an oxygen leak and exploded. My copilot and I managed to escape in our suits, but he did not make it. Now I am floating outward into eternity...

My only chance of survival is to read "Wandering In Space," a real-life tutorial by Chuck Anderson. From what I understand, he wrote it when he was in my very same situation, and details how he managed to get back home!

(I believe there are also some pretty illustrations of what he saw when he was out here...somewhere in the back of the book or something. I guess those would be nice to view to.)

So if you will, please help me get back home by sending me Chuck's new book. Thanks, and looking forward to thanking you if I ever get back home. I believe the internet signal I am catching in the airwaves is dying but I'll try and se-

Jurassic_Jonathan12/22/2008

Designers seem to ‘wander off into space’ a lot...

We deal with the space between content, space between letters and, sadly in recent times, space between projects.
The last thing a designer needs is space between inspiration; yet, thanks to Abduzeedo and Chuck Anderson’s work featured on the site, every day has me excited and ready to design.

I need this book because I too am a freelance designer, and a huge fan of Chuck’s work. Having Chuck’s book would be an amazing source of inspiration and would keep me from ‘wandering off into space’ at my computer, cup of coffee in hand; and I promise you, it will do a lot more then fill space on my desk.

firetongue12/22/2008

I'm not going to pretend I desperately need this book, because nobody does, but I've spent all my money on people's Christmas presents and math-mechanics books for college, neither of which are anywhere near as exciting as Chuck Anderson and his work. I'm also really floundering with my designing at the moment, and could really do with something as incredible as this to draw inspiration from, especially as my art teacher is threatening to kill me if I don't get into illustration.

I also like the word tome.

lasarten12/22/2008

I NEED this book for my next LSD trip. I know it would be really awesome if I had this book...

I quited school to work and help out my family, going thru a rough time.

I dont have much mony, because i have to use all the money I earn on my family. We dont have much money, because my mother has got cancer for a year now.

For me to have this book, would be just amazing, and a great christmas present. It would be nice to have something like that to christmas.

I dont have a computer at home, i can only use a computer at work, and at my friends.

SO PLEASE ABDUZEEDO!! HELP ME! W would be so greatful.

Mer xmas

Shaktiz12/22/2008

Chuck hav done a wonderful work i wish him all the best for his future... n hope he will get more of those for us to be inspired n see a long journey ahead.

Please do not give this stupid book to me! :P

propstm12/23/2008

Regarding this book I have only two words to say: DO WANT.

mamjed12/23/2008

I need this book because Chuck Anderson is super cool and is way better then Chuck Norris... He is also from my home town of Chicago and Chicago is just the best city in the USA!

FiZ12/23/2008

I worked in a lot of graphic design through college, but I've been entrenched in software development for too many years. I'm itching to create something visual again and I'd appreciate the inspiration.

Nino12/23/2008

i need this book so that one day i will be able to write something creative for the reason why i would want this book,

DMJ12/23/2008

I need this book just for survival mostly. I will thoroughly chew all the pages and swallow them, that will allow me to see all the colors of the world.

Kyttee12/23/2008

I NEED IT!!! This book could be the perfect Christmas gift...for me!

P.S.: is it me or I see a lady through the text on the second image? o_Ô

Metin Ucar12/23/2008

creative!?

emersonstewart12/23/2008

I don't need this book. I want this book. For those graphic designers who need this book for inspiration try going outside for once or traveling. I need this book because i like to read on the toilet and all my Playboy's are soggy and stuck together.

planetfoto12/23/2008

I can only say what most beauty contest participants say:

I need this book to make worldpeace!

Just don't try to understand...

Albert Patterson12/24/2008

I am a huge Chuck Anderson fan. I believe I need this book more than anyone. But I seriously doubt anyone here would share those sentiments. I have a pretty strong library at home that is continuiosly growing. I have a few books by Victionary and this book would fit nicely into my collection. And it won't sit around collecting dust either. It'll be put to good use. Believe me :)

grazz12/24/2008

I had an erection when watching the photos of the book. That's how much I want it.

Jaimito12/25/2008

What would Jesus do?

rajaotai12/25/2008

one day, i was born, having nothing in my world. it's so strange. there's no colours, no patterns. boring and dull, it was. i don't bother to think about that but just go through the it everyday dully, or it might suppose to be for the rest of my life. well, that didn't last long, until i met mr. abduzeedo, the first ever one that amazes me. his world was way different than mine. full of tempting colours and inspirations. amazing. he is my aspiration. he made me feel life. since that day, colours appear in my life, inspired by him.

but that's not all. mr abduzeedo introduced me to other amazing worlds. the 1st one i knew was mr chuck anderson. he's the next person i admire, turning my world into another wonderful medium to live. colours are everywhere. nevertheless, it's just 10m perimeter from my place duh. i now have a reason to live; Spread The Colours! i'll explore the world, even into space to colour everything, to help others happy as i was.

one problem tho, i can't have my own inspirations all the time. i can't do it all by myself. mr chuck anderson's help is needed. i spoke to him. he said that only mr abduzeedo can help me. he's left a treasure for me with mr abduzeedo, a book. he wants to help me, cooperate with me to build happy worlds. we also plan to colour the jet black space!

you both give me the reasons to live, enabling me to help others.hopefully you would help us. i don't think you want to disappoint mr chuck anderson.

wyldfyer12/26/2008

I don't know who actually truly deserves it or not, but i just like to say that I would like to have it a lot, due to the fact that Chuck's art is my kind of work. I am a big fan of abstract art and truly love almost all aspects of this book and it really is an inspiration. Another reason i would like to have this book is because its a like a small key into the head of this artist and to see what was it he really was thinking. Even though not my most favourite artist he truly is an inspiration to me and probably others like me

Ass-kicker-if-I-don't-get-the-damn-book12/26/2008

GIVE ME THE DAMN BOOK OR I WILL KICK YOUR ASSES WITH MORE CREATIVITY THAN THE BOOK ITSELF HOLDS. HOW'S THAT FOR CREATIVITY...

Onedinkenedi12/26/2008

This book sucks.

I'll help you get rid of it, for.... ok; NO cost - but only for this time!
