Excellent resource, but full book is better overall.......2007-04-14
This is an excellent workbook resource for those who don't want to spend the time and money to read the full book and do the excercises there (although I would recommend that as a first choice). I did like this slim resource though, and bought multiple copies to use with my patients in a vocational program -- they loved thinking through the exercises, but I needed to explain many portions for them because the guidelines are rather broad at times, and too specific at others. If I hadan't guided several them through the exercises, it would have been worthless. The full book is a far richer and better resource, and gives you much more to think about -- but this is a good workbook approach that summarizes the main exercises in the full book. A hint -- there is one exercise (Very time consuming) that you can skip -- the first exercise asks you to write 5 life stories, then examine them for commonalities in skills -- You don't need the stories to do the ratings at all.
If you've got the regular text, you don't need this..........2007-02-22
I though this would provide more info than the book ("What Color Is Your Parachute?") but what's inside are the same exercises... so if you have the book or are getting it, then you don't need this. On the other hand, if you don't want to read all of the insightful text of Bolles's original book, then this is a nice book of exercises! :) [I'd just recommend the original text, though.]
What Color Is Your Parachute Workbook.......2007-02-14
The book is mostly limitless propaganda. I had to order it for a career building course.
Just do it!.......2007-01-12
This was recommended to my by my sister as being more useful than the book of the same name. So I got the book from the library and the workbook from Amazon. What my sister didn't mention that there is a lot of work to do! I am not finished yet but it is good to go through this mid-career reassessment of where I am.
It has been helpful to see and remember what my gifts and areas of strength are.
I may end up changing nothing about my life but at least then it will be something I have chosen rather than just slid into!
Great Resource.......2007-01-04
This is a great resource to use in conjunction with the ground breaking "What Color is Your Parachute" used for years to help people find work they truly enjoy.
Book Description
This workbook presents a diverse conceptual overview of color theory coupled with numerous studies and activities to solidify students’ understanding of design and color concepts through hands-on experience. This workbook combines both a formal and content-oriented approach to color with students, allowing them to use it both technically and as an expressive tool.
As a practicing artist and an art educator, Becky Koenig has possessed a lifelong desire to master color. She created this text to present a wide range of many color theories, rather than a singular viewpoint. The workbook covers the expanding field of electronic color and discusses color in terms of art history and contemporary art. It includes a variety of student activities that have proved successful in the classroom.

Hands down the best textbook.......2005-01-07
I'm currently a Color Theory student at Savannah College of Art & Design, and was required to pick this exspenive book (not even hardcovered), but I didn't mind. This book has turned out to be the most interesting and fascinating piece of material I've read in my life. It deeply explores both the additive (RGB), subtractive pigment (RBY), and subtractive process (CMY) theories without coming off dry at all... written very much for the average person. Even moreso, the big plus is that it sets aside an ample space for discussing the additive theory in regard to computer apps such as Photoshop and Illustrator, great for me, since I'm a Visual Effects major.
Yes, it's a tad exspensive, however you will not be dissapointed!
Remarkable book.......2003-09-29
This was a truly remarkable book, well organized, well laid out. The activities are very creative and informative. It helped me understand the posibilities of color.
Book Description
Designers know that color is an extremely vital part of any design project and not a subject to be taken lightly. For better or for worse, it affects moods and elicits reactions.

Customer Reviews:
An excellent place to start!.......2007-09-04
In design and illustration it can often be all to easy to overlook the important basics such as colour. This excellent book from Rockport takes you through the basics, to some more complex ideas and has plenty of high quality product examples. For people like me who didn't go to art college this sort of reference is a must.
Oh my Colors!.......2007-06-07
Ver good book on color design. Has many useful examples as well as intersting ways to use them. Also good for beginners to introduce them to color without overwheling them. Would recommend to novice-intermediate designers, but also a good reference for some pros.
Great book that inspires me to get to work!.......2007-02-27
I love colors... probably too much... but I always seem to pick the same color palette when I'm designing things, and can't seem to stray to far from them, so I needed this book. It's fantastic. It shows color palettes that have been put to work in real-world settings. It also has nice explanations on color theories and the meanings of colors. The book is well organized and detailed-- I haven't found an AdamsMorioka book that I didn't like. Great job! PS I got my book from an amazon subsidiary-- it was a used book from warehouse_deals for a smashing $17.08 + nominal shipping. You'd never guess that this book had ever been used. I ordered two other books from warehouse_deals, too... if you can snag a book from them at such a great price, you won't regret it. Their shipping is as quick as amazon's standard shipping. :)
A nice overview.......2006-11-11
This book offers a great overview of color w/ practical uses in design. It covers consisely and clearly basic color concepts,theory, color meaning, and other useful advice and knowledge. It offers practical ways of looking at color through graphic design w/ case studies and showing lots of different work. The layout is fun, colorful and organized. This book should be recommeded on any design students reading list
Colorful.......2006-03-27
I have started reading this book, so be warned.
My initial reaction is that it is a very good survey of color, the author(s) do a good enough job introducing color.
What I disagree with is their recommendation for color systems, but that's a personal opinion. As more and more people use the computer and (Adobe) software for color correction, I would tend towards the rbg + cmy color wheel.
Everything else I read is, like I said, a good introduction.
Book Description
"When I finish school, then what?" and "I don't know what major to choose, because I don't know what I want to do." These are comments made everyday by high school and college students searching for the answer to life after school.

Throughout her book, Carolyn Kalil's enthusiasm leaps off the pages as she leads students through an insightful and entertaining journey and introduces the True Colors Personality System. As students learn about the four basic personality types, each represented by a different color, they gain an understanding of their natural strengths and talents. Gradually they become equipped to identify specific careers in which they will thrive and find true satisfaction - work they will love! Follow Your True Colors to the Work You Love makes an ideal elective course for the high school senior or college student, and is a must have for any career counselor.
Customer Reviews:
Everyone needs this book.......2007-07-13
This book is needed to be read before anyone plans to seek employment. It will guide you to understand yourself and what career you need to lead a fulfilling life. A must read for anyone at any level of employment.
Everyone should read this book!.......2006-08-21
This book is really helpful in figuring out your own personality type as well as other people's. It teaches you how to interact with other personality types and gives you an accurate description on what kind work you should be doing according to your personality. It not only helped me to figure out my dream profession, but also encouraged me to go for it!
If you work with kids, buy this book!.......2006-06-16
True colors will break your kids down into 4 main personalities and a combination of sub personalities. This book will teach you the weaknesses, strengths, wants, needs, etc. of each kid. After reading this book you will learn how to read kids and deal with their personality. Also, it will help you pick the right mate to date or marry and to pick the work that will make you happy. After two days of students in my class, I can tell the "orange" students in my class and my career advice to them is "Never take a job that is behind a desk or stuck in a room all day." Years later, students always tell me I was so right. So true colors does work! Buy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A Colorful Pathway to Success.......2002-01-05
An exceptional work that is a delightful "read". In a very friendly yet literate style, Ms. Kalil lays an easy foundation for finding harmony with our career focus and personality. The included card set is an amazingly simple way to find your direction and learn about your "True Colors". The book is truly informative, and very helpful.
The Magic of Follow Your True Colors in Career Planning.......2001-06-04
My most recent college career planning class was instructed to purchase the book Follow Your True Colors to the Work You Love as well as the workbook. The students were given weekly homework reading assignments from the book. During class they completed individual and group exercises from the workbook. The book provided a framework for understanding the career planning process based on an individual's true color personality profile. The workbook provided an opportunity for the students to apply the principles learned from reading the book. In conjunction, the two books complimented one another and increased the students' understanding and application of the concepts.
During the course, several students approached me independently and commented on how much they enjoyed the readings and exercises they were assigned. Some individuals felt that the author was speaking directly to them and their circumstances. Other students were amazed by the author's uncanny ability to pinpoint their personality traits and characteristics.
However, I had no idea until I read the finals submitted by the students at the end of the class how universally these two books had impacted people. Even students who were initially skeptical about the usefullness of this class and its approach to career planning were quite pleased with the insight and information they had learned about themselves. Overall, students benefited greatly from reading and using these exercises for self discovery and understanding presented in the book and workbook Follow Your True Colors to the Work You Love. These two books will definetly be required reading for my future students!

Great.......2007-01-10
This is excellent for teaching fine motor skills to little ones. I am a teacher and I use it with my own three year old.
Good for disabled children.......2006-10-15
My 40 month old son was born with birth defects on his hands. The few fingers he has are very short and his muscles are a little weak. This book offers him a challenging and fun way to work on his fine motor skills. This workbook is well made with thick paper and a lot of colors. You cut off about 2/3 of the page and give it to your child and encourage him to color in the dot with a matching color on some of the pages. This is encouraging to small children so they don't have to fill in an entire page themselves. The last page is a write on wipe off page! The only drawback is that $5.95 for a small workbook is rather pricey to me.
A very child friendly introduction to coloring.......2006-08-10
I recently discovered the Kumon books and I am super pleased with them.I will be reviewing all those I have so it will help other parents get a better idea of what's inside. The LET'S COLOR book is very nice and is part of the Kumon First Steps series for ages 2 and up. I must say that this book isn't for the very young only. My son is 8, and is a very normal child in every way, yet like some children, has not been very quick to develop fine motor skills for writing, holding a pencil, cutting, etc. He has enjoyed all his Kumon books very much, and they are not babyish. LET'S COLOR is a very nice book for children who would be overwhelmed by a whole uncolored page being placed in front of them to "finish". I like that most of each page in LET'S COLOR is colored already and is very colorful; only a white circle, square, triangle (nice for teaching shapes along the way) is left blank for the child to color in. My son is very pleased with just a small bit of coloring to finish the picture. He especially loves when his colored pencil ( I recommend Prismacolors over crayons) matches almost exactly with the color of the object and when finished, you can't easily see where he did the coloring. Later pages have you color 2 or 3 parts of the picture, such as blue, green, and yellow circles on the beach ball, or 3 different colored balloons, or the yolk of the egg. Then the last few pages are having the child color the 2 flowers, the mane of the lion, the icing and candles on a birthday cake, or different parts of a clown. Even these pages with more white areas to color, are not overwhelming to a child, as the full picture is only about 8 inches square. My son enjoyed the first "scribble" pages, where you drew hair on a boy, spaghetti on a plate, sprinkles on the ice cream, water squrting out of the garden hose onto the children, etc. He has enjoyed coloring in this book as we have our read aloud time in the evening. Kumon uses high quality heavy paper, and the coloring pages are printed on one side only. I highly recommend it to any parent of young children, and would make a nice little gift with a new box of colored pencils or crayons. These are attractive when finished to give to grandma and grandpa to hang on their refrigerator. I really think you and your child will have fun with this book.
Kinah's Mom.......2006-08-08
I purchased this workbook for my three year old, noting that the workbook is suggested for 2 year olds and up. My daughter has already developed the intial fine motor skills for tracing her name, painting, coloring, pasting, modeling clay, using spray bottles, drawing circles, lines, rectangles, stick figures, etc., I purchased this workbook with the hope that we would re-trace any steps in the fine motor skill process that we may have missed. The book opens having the child draw "spaghetti" on a colorful plate in the workbook, draw the "dots" on a red strawberry, draw "raindrops" on a rainy day scene in the workbook. Several pages instruct the child to color in a white circle in the middle of a colorful object (i.e., a lemon, egg plant, green pepper, etc., Then the child will color in white squares on colorful objects. We have had fun with the workbook. And I'm hoping this practice book contributes postively to her penmanship and coloring.

Excellent Book.......2006-01-10
Great tool for learning Bobbin Lace; beautiful patterns easy to understand.
basic skills fully explained.......2004-03-27
This is a great book to learn lacemaking with. Very clear and uses the techniques used by most American teachers.
Great book for beginning to learn torchon bobbin lace.......1998-04-18
The reason I like this book is that the diagrams and photographs are clear and use colored threads. You can learn how to make beginning torchon bobbin lace on your own with this book. Descriptions of how to wind on your bobbins and how to start are defined well and the method to make simple bookmarks all the way through to more advanced projects are explained in detail.

Better ways to spend your money.......2007-07-15
COLOR HARMONY WORKBOOK is one of the most disappointing purchases in recent history. You would be better off with a five-dollar Colorwheel or using the Live Color feature in Adobe Illustrator CS3.
Separated into ambiguously named sections like "Romantic," "Earthy" and "Welcoming," this book depicts photographs of interior design and/or paintings. It then samples the colors and presents them in monochromatic, tertiary, complementary, analogous, and split complementary pallets. Most of the suggested combinations are very vibrant or Avant Garde. On page 32 there is a photo of a room with bright orange walls, light beige cushions surrounded by tan wicker and dark green accents. When you get past the monochromatic colors as depicted on page 25, some unrealistic combinations emerge.
Perforated color combinations appear on each page -- allowing you to go hunting through some of the most awful non-returnable paint available. To be fair, not all combinations are bad. Just consider, you can pick up swatch books with interior photographs for free from you local paint store.
Color Combinations with swatches.......2006-12-12
This book begins with a presentation of 96 colors in a color wheel and then explores color combinations based on these 96 colors, plus grey which is added at the end.
The colors are divided in 22 groupings, according to the effect the colors would have: powerful, rich, romantic, vital, earthy, friendly, soft, welcoming, moving, elegant, fresh, traditional, refreshing, tropical, classic, dependable, calm, regal, magical, energetic, subdued, and professional.
Each grouping is represented with a particular color, containing a brief description of that color and its effect, and followed by color combinations which are sorted into monochromatic, primary, complimentary, analogous, split complimentary, split, clash, and neutral. These color combinationas are provided in two formats - one that would remain in the book and another one consisting out of swatches, which can be taken out of the book.
At the end of the book are given CMYK values of 96 colors, plus 10 consisting of white, black and the nuances of grey.
All in all, the book is very well organized.
This book is a staple.......2006-08-28
As a web designer, I have found this book to be invaluable. I am on my 3rd copy of this book (my other copies met with a strange demise). Each time I need to buy a new Color Harmony book I search for others but come back to this one. It is a great primer for color combinations and how they can create different moods. It also has hundreds of different examples of combinations and does a decent job of explaining color theory. I would recommend this book for anyone who wants to use color with the confidence that comes from understanding how colors work to convey a mood/message.
Amazing tool!.......2006-08-08
I saw this book at a friend's house and instantly fell inlove with it. As an upcoming Graphic Designer this book just opened my eyes to a bunch of new ways to use color in my designs and especially in the enviorment that they usually have to be presented in; this enhances the impact your design might have on the customer and still be totally correct for the theme you're looking for.
This is also a great way for artists to give a better atmosphere to their pictures or to simply expand their personal palette when they work on a piece.
Overall I think this book is a must have for artists and designers alike because it teaches you to work with color like the powerful tool that it is.
Great book.......2004-09-13
This is a great book for figuring out which colors go best with each other, however it's not really a "workbook" per se. Although I was a little disapponted about that, I'll still give this book 5 stars because the color combinations are spectacular.
Book Description

Don't Miss Out On What Others Obviously Have.......2006-01-06
Let me start by saying I am not just a huge fan of this annually updated guide book, I am an example of someone who actually "used" it and has benefited greatly by doing so (in other words, I found the work I was meant to do and have been enjoying it now for over five years!).
Like anything in life, the more effort and work you put into following Mr. Bolles' advice, the more you get out of it.
I can only speculate that those who have given this book anything less than 4 stars has not actually read it, nor taken the time to complete its exercises to learn what they are really looking for in work and career.
If they had, they would have known that Richard Bolles has put the value of his 30-40 years of successful career counseling into every page.
I encourage you not to give up on your dream of doing what you love. Bolles encourages us in every way he can. And gives us the ideas, tools and belief that we really don't have to work just to make a living. He shows us that work CAN make a life worth living.
Now I'll get off my soap box. Good luck to you!
Satisfied.......2005-10-24
I had to order this book for a class and I have yet to read it through but others have told me its a great tool to have when exploring your career options.
What Color Is Your Parachute Workbook: How to Create a Picture of Your Ideal Job or Next Career (workbook) REVIEW.......2005-09-01
This used book I bought, What Color Is Your Parachute Workbook: How to Create a Picture of Your Ideal Job or Next Career (workbook), by Richard Nelson Bolles, was in perfect condition.
It can't get any better than this.
Excellent Book for all ages!.......2004-06-08
This book is great for people of all ages! It really helps you find your niche in life by doing a little soul searching. I was able to identify my strengths and use them to get a job I love! This book should be a part of all high school and college graduates itinerary before going into the 'real' world. Thank you Mr. Bolles!!
Essential Job Search Book.......2004-05-13
Bolle's book is still timeless for job seekers of all kinds. I feel that his book updated each year to meet the current trends in society is critical. He needs to address those issues, like the web, downturn in the economy and the like.
The most critical part of the book is the self evaluation section. This is a very structured process that can be used intutitively as well. Bolles asks you to write a few stories about yourself, then, what did you like and dislike about those stories? What did you do well, where did you fail or feel challenged beyond your abilities? These are the critical areas of the book that take time to get through, yet you can evaluate yourself and understand what you like, it is what you do best, usually.
We excel what we are good at, according to Bolles, this method will help us discover what we are best at.
I have recommended this book to many over the years, and still do. Whether someone is in college, or someone is going through a long term transition after being in a job for a long time or moms returning to the work place, this book will be very instructive for you.
One of his processes is very simple asking you to compare who you would most like to talk with or groups of people you would rather relate with. This is a standard set of tests for some very expensive career consulting, he gives it to you for the price of his book and the time to self evaluate yourself. Then, he breaks down the possible job areas and skill sets related to these groups.
Again, a worthwhile journey for anyone not wanting to wander any longer in the world of work.
