Purvis Wiley, 2005 Excellent resource This book provides an excellent resource on the graphic design industry with in-depth information on typography and how different art movements affected graphic design. It is well written and has great pictures with detailed descriptions. I recommend it for every graphic designer's personal library.             How To Be a Graphic Designer Without Losing Your Soul18 reviews Adrian Shaughnessy Princeton Architectural Press, 2005 Amazing, But Looking For a Bit More Amazing book - a great read for any individual who is thinking of defining their place in the Graphic Arts world. You can seriously learn something new or reaffirming from it every time you pick it up. - Don't look for solid examples of what steps to follow, the overview is good, but it being told by somebody who has been in the industry for years and never appeared to have any major struggles ...             Creating Motion Graphics with After Effects: Essential and Advanced Techniques, 4th Edition16 reviews Chris & Trish Meyer Focal Press, 2007 Another Great AE Book from the Meyer Family I used this book after finishing up with the Meyer's fantastic "After Effects Apprentice" book. This book, "Creating Motion Graphics with After Effects", was a great way to firm up what I had learned from other sources. Highly recommended!             Design Elements: A Graphic Style Manual11 reviews Timothy Samara Rockport Publishers, 2007 Well written and fun! Amazing book by Timothy. It's perfect for young designers, unlike myself, who need to learn basics in graphic design. As a more experienced professional I had fun reading the book and I'm gonna keep it in my office for use of all new interns so they find out a little more by themselves. The only downside I see is the small grey texts, but fortunately my eyes are still in perfect conditions.             Landscape Graphics25 reviews Grant Reid Watson-Guptill, 2002 a must have This book is an absolute must-have for the beginning landscape designer/architect's personal library. As a fifth year landscape architecture student, my book is in wretched condition due to the fact that I refer to it constantly, more than any other book I own. It will continue to be useful to me for years to come.             Architectural Graphics17 reviews Francis D. K. Ching Wiley, 2002 Architectural Graphics, et al - excellent books, DECEPTIVE advertising Get your act together Amazon or Wiley (I suspect Wiley) !!! (especially, note my final paragraph below) 1. This is NOT a hardback. 2. The "et al" is because this is NOT a single volume as suggested by the single ISBN 0471738263, but a COLLECTION of 3 PAPERBACKS - Architectural Graphics 4th ed ISBN 0471209066 (note different ISBN from that for the 3-volume set cited under only Ching's book ...             Graphic Design: The New Basics7 reviews Ellen Lupton, Phillips Jennifer Cole Princeton Architectural Press, 2008 Required reading for students and teachers of design If you're at all interested in design education--either as a teacher or as a student--Graphic Design: The New Basics is required reading. Ellen Lupton and Jennifer Cole Phillips have made something more than a mere textbook; they've created an authoritative and thorough yet useful and inspiring companion for the successful practice of graphic design. I'm confident that I will happily revisit this ...             The Elements of Graphic Design: Space, Unity, Page Architecture, and Type33 reviews Alexander W. White Allworth Press, 2002 A Great Start for the Budding Graphic Designer I found this book very useful as both an introductory into the field of Graphic Design as well as a reference source for future projects. This book will remain in my permanent collection!             Graphic Artists Guild Handbook: Pricing & Ethical Guidelines (Graphic Artists Guild Handbook: Pricing & ...60 reviews Graphic Artists Guild Graphic Artists Guild, 2007 A Necessary Resource Priceless and necessary material for all graphic artists, especially those like me that are just beginning to get some sort of grasp on how much things should cost.             Graphic Design Solutions, Third Edition20 reviews Robin Landa Delmar Cengage Learning, 2005 Best G.D.

Don't pay retail... GET IT ON AMAZON!             Layout Workbook: A Real-World Guide to Building Pages in Graphic Design14 reviews Kristen Cullen Rockport Publishers, 2007 Check out the whole series! This was the first book that I bought in Rockport's series of graphic design books. It provides great information for designing layouts and even shows examples from real publications. The only gripe I have is the small font was a bit hard to read in a dimly lit room (but most trendy publications are that way now). But despite that, the book is still readable in good lighting and provides ...             Architectural Graphic Standards, 11th Edition9 reviews The American Institute of Architects Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2007 A must-have for design professionals! For over 70 years, architects have been using a valuable reference book, "Architectural Graphic Standards." "Architectural Graphic Standards" (11th edition) is organized roughly per the UniFormat(r) classification system, i.e., by function instead of by product or material. This new edition has expanded and new content covering contemporary issues, such as LEED standards, green materials, ...             Fingerprint: The Art of Using Hand-Made Elements in Graphic Design18 reviews Chen Design Associates How, 2006 Inspirational If you love handmade and mixed media this book is for you.

Wiley, 2007 Instructor's Review - A Print Production Tech Manual I teach first & second year multimedia and design at a community college. Following are my thoughts on this book. Pros: Summaries- The sidebar summaries and callouts are truly excellent. Often, there are accompanying illustrations that are "worth a thousand words". Depth of information- Overall, there is a *lot* of information here. No punches are pulled when it's presented, either. As ...             Architectural Graphic Standards, Student Edition (Ramsey/Sleeper Architectural Graphic Standards Series) Charles George Ramsey, Harold Reeve Sleeper Wiley, 2008 The new student edition of the definitive architectural reference For seventy-five years, Architectural Graphic Standards has been the go-to reference for architects, builders, and engineers.

Eskilson Yale University Press, 2007 Don't wait till your professor assigns this book . . . Eskilson's New History is a long overdue addition to textbooks on Graphic Design that before now have had to largely suffice with the sporadically updated Meggs' History of Graphic Design. Eloquent and illuminating, Eskison spans the modern age and then goes deep into contemporary design with a fine attention to the artistic and technical developments in the field. Eskilson pays special attention ...             Graphic Design History: A Critical Guide2 reviews Johanna Drucker, Emily McVarish Prentice Hall, 2008 Lively and Thoughtful Survey of the Field This book is a splendid addition to the field of Graphic Design History. Until recently the study of graphic design lacked the sort of critical analysis that art historians have routinely lavished on painting or sculpture. Drucker and McVarish do a great job of engaging the reader in their thought processes. Some of the best pages are mash-ups of colorful and diverse graphics with interjected ...             Interior Graphic Standards15 reviews Wiley, 2004 Awesome quality and fast delivery I got this book well before I thought I was going to and it was in amazing condition :)             Interactive Computer Graphics: A Top-Down Approach Using OpenGL (5th Edition)3 reviews Edward Angel Addison Wesley, 2008 lovely colour plates Stop! If you have this book in hand, the first thing you should do is turn to the colour plates in the centre of the book. Slowly (there is no need to hurry) look at each. Don't worry if some of the labels use technical terms that you are unaware of. The book teaches you those. Admire the beauty of the plates. It gives an overview of much of current computer graphics. Far more inspiring than ...             Plan Graphics for the Landscape Designer (2nd Edition)4 reviews Tony Bertauski Prentice Hall, 2006 Even better than the Excelent first edition This book doesnt' fail in maintain its focus on very practical aproach of the subject. It adopts a direct and easy to follow language and tips: Doesn't pretend to be artificially academic, intends strongly to help the beginners on their careers as the veterans too. Would be obvious that all books dealing with the same subject should present top quality on editorial design, but in many cases it's ...              search for books advanced, approach, architectural, architecture, building, computer, creating, critical, designer, edition, effects, elements, essential, ethical, fingerprint, graphics, guidelines, hand-made, handbook, interactive, interior, landscape, pricing, production, real-world, solutions, standards, techniques, top-down, workbook books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
