Review: This book will change the way you view graphic design. Perfect piece for almost anyone. - This book is a perfect foundation for a person looking to get into graphic design. It provides visual and written feedback in a perfect synthesis, although there is minor things I wish it did better. GOOD: It touches on essential graphic design principles. Whether you're a marketer or a undercover artist, this book provides a basic understanding of the graphic design field. It touches on typography, heiararchy, colors, layers and more! The introduction is engaging and sets the tone of the rest of the book, and the literature is well versed and informative without having to worry about not knowing graphic design lingo. GREAT: It provides wonderful examples that will inspire your inner artist. I like to pick up this book and look for inspiration. The art covers everything from user interface design (UI) to print design. While you may not know what your style is as a graphic design artist, this book will shed light on styles that may interest you. IMPROVEMENTS: It could go more in depth in certain areas. This book was a pleasure to read, but it was almost as if the section ended right when I wanted to dive into a topic more. That is the problem with having a book that covers the basics; It will occasionally fail to provide detailed information in certain areas. Suggesting it as an improvement does my opinion more justice rather than saying it's a downfall. This book has the basics covered. Conclusion: I don't know how many graphic design books I've been through that had horrible graphic design in them, but this book was a beautiful blend of information and visual examples. Maybe you're not an artist or maybe you are, this book will help you interpret the art you see in a world where graphic design is ubiquitous.
Review: Best intro book ever. - This book is wonderful. I use it as a guide to teach my students the foundations of design. There are many wonderful projects and visual inspirations included. It is a great balance of text an image and makes for light reading that is impactful and to the point, and provides a range of projects, concepts, and visuals related to each topic. An absolute must for the bookshelf of a young designer and just as wonderful as refreshing inspiration for a seasoned vet!

*by V***K on April 16, 2022*

Excellent intro book to graphic design. Covers key elements and principles of graphic design. Author uses real world, professional examples as well as unique work by their master’s students. Chapters are short and to the point. Most take 20 min to read… the images and examples are excellently curated by the author. Makes a great reference book for vocabulary and examples for teachers, professionals, and students.
