### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Archie Boston is a cool bad ass dude!
  

*by S***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2013*

His portfolio is shocking, even forty years later.  He admired a group of accomplished graphic artists, so he worked hard and became one of them.  He grew up with absolutely nothing but the love of his family, and later in life never thought for one moment he was second best to anyone.  This is an honest book, that sometimes goes into details more interesting for someone in academia or graphic design.  But the story of Archie can be appreciated by everyone.  A man who saw what he wanted and went for it.  That's why he's a cool bad ass dude.

    This Fly Rocks
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2002*

Mr. Boston's colloquial style is at once engaging and poignant...True to his nature, he holds nothing back: his triumphs, disappointmentsand even embarassing moments are recounted with wit and humor.Mr. Boston deserves his role as pioneer: not only as a Black man,but also as Chronicler of a crucial moment in Advertising where Social Consciousnessmarried Visual Communications and laid the foundationfor activism today. Too often Graphic Design literature focuses on the work, and by inference on the client, and not enough onthe people behind the work...

    you haven't bought this book yet?
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2002*

When my book arrived, I had the intent of reading just a few pages, I had to force myself to put it down over halfway through just so I could get some work done. I easily finished it in the first available moment I had. This book will take you on a journey through the life of Old Skool Archie Boston, and the moments that shaped his career and work. Also included is his ... portfolio that puts polital-correctness in it's place. Motivational, tragic, humorous and historical- this book is recommended for designers, advertisers and design educators alike. Buy this book today.
