Graphic Design Schoolbasic design principles using all modern media This is a structured self-teaching guide to the principles of graphic design which provides up-to-date information on computer aided design and the use of software applications.
The last part looks at examples of professional design practice - magazines, corporate design, books, presentations, and of course web design. It's a visually exciting overview of what's required in the increasingly complex and sophisticated word of graphic design. The illustrations are wonderfully fresh and well chosen. There wasn't one I had seen in any publication before. This will be suitable for people working in newspapers, magazines, books, packaging, advertising, web design, and digital media in general. It's packed with practical guidance for students and practising designers. It's an introductory guide to a discipline with many facets. I imagine that readers will come across a topic that touches a creative nerve - layout, typography, animation, or image manipulation - then shoot off to follow up the subject elsewhere. That's exactly as it should be - and there's a glossary and bibliography to help too. © Roy Johnson 2005 [more GRAPHIC DESIGN books] David Dabner, Graphic Design School: The Principles and Practices of Graphic Design, London: Thames and Hudson, 2004, pp.192, ISBN 0500285268
