Pretty, but impractical (2002 Edition)

Customer Rating:

This is visually very pleasing, but the content is disapointing. I'm happy with the high quality images but what i did not find was a straightforward discussion of design. The text is unnecessarily stylized. For example, a pencil is described as: "the traditional instrument of rapid transfer of thought to a surface". Also, as i read, i often found myself thinking "what is this section supposed to be about?" because the way the chapters are organized sometimes leaves you guessing as to what you re supposed to be reading about. On the up side it did get me thinking about some ideas that were new to me as a non-designer.

An essential Graphic Design handbook!

Customer Rating:

This is an excellent handbook that attempts to cover every aspect of Graphic Design. The chapters are short and managble, with a wide range of visuals that are excellent for research.

This book has been very useful and helped inspire many of my ideas. It is a great size (220mm x 180mm) which is an ideal reference book to transport to and from Uni or college.

I would reccommend this book to anyone who is aiming to persue a career in Graphic design, but seeks guidance deciding which specific area to specialise in.

This book is an ESSENTIAL item for any serious graphic designer!
