Category: Computers , Computer Graphics

Robin Williams introduced design and  typographic principles to legions of readers with her best-selling  Non-Designer's book series. Now she and designer/co-author John Tollett  take you to the next level of creative design with practical advice and  lessons in composition, visual impact, and design challenges. Presented  in Robin and John's signature style—writing that is so crystal clear,  it's accessible to absolutely anyone—and illustrated with hundreds of  full-color design examples, the ideas in this book tackle design  theory, visual puns, and layout and graphics strategies for real-world  projects. Developing designers will appreciate the author's imaginative  approach and well-chosen examples.  Discover practical and effective design principles and concept–and how to apply them to virtually any project. Learn why some designs are attention-getting and others are not. Learn  how to choose just the right look—corporate or casual, classic or  trendy—for specific types of projects, such as business cards,  letterhead and envelopes, newsletters and brochures, logos,  advertising, and more. Test your design acumen by comparing before-and-after examples. Find a wealth of inspiration for your own design projects. Gain insight into the design process by studying the works of guest designers, who offer their personal commentary and insights.
