Graphic Design School: A Foundation Course for Graphic Designers Working in Print, Moving Image and Digital Media (5 Edition))

This is the perfect compact guide to your first year in art school, media or anything similar. It's also a pretty good read by itself. I use this book as part of the basis of my first year media/graphic course that I teach. It's timely, well explained and compact. The explanations are clear and the assignments both interesting and instructive. I recommend it to anyone aspiring to the graphic arts, but particularly to foundation year and first year art students as it will clearly explain processes and aesthetic thinking behind designs. Couple this with Adobe's classroom in a book series and you will have both how and why covered.

I am a graphic design student at university and I love this book! It's great to refer back to incase I didn't make enough notes in lectures or great to use if concepts arnt grasped in class as it's easy to read and learn from ! Would highly recommend and already have done to so many friends. I have found it cheaper through this seller than high street stores so was very happy to wait a couple of days for delivery.

Good basic book on graphic design which gives you all you need to know about the fundamental areas of graphic design. Use it as part of my resources in teaching graphic design

Good book my step son loves the textbook. He was fortunate to meet the author when he gave a lecture at Southampton University. Authors should actually follow through and meet the people using their books.

great source of design info

Extremely thorough book, beautifully edited. The ultimate graphic design course to keep in your hand, provides in-depth information about all fields of the topic.

Good.

As expected - all good
