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"
