Book Review: The Elements of Graphic Design

11 Comments Edit
My new friends at Skyhorse publishing sent over this book: The Elements of Graphic Design - and it's so appropriate for me because as a designer, I'm constantly wanting to learn more! 

This book is actually a second edition by Alex W. White & even though I have yet to read the entire thing (lack of time) - I'm loving what I've read so far!  The book is definitely thought provoking & has a bit over 200 pages of full color. 




I HIGHLY recommend this book for anyone thinking of getting into the Graphic Design field. You'll learn about how you can apply design components, color, similarity & contrast, unity & space, type & much more!




I love how Alex manages to describe a unique approach to successful graphic design & inspires us to create better work.....brilliant!

    I'm a designer in Seattle. I got the original version of this book in college - good to see they updated it. I'm curious - outside of your product lines, are you still working as a graphic designer? If so, I'd love to see your work!
