Complete Graphic Designer: A Guide to Understanding Graphics and Visual Communication

The Complete Graphic Designer is that well-rounded course in graphic design. It is neither an instructional “how-to” book, nor will it feature a series of suggested curriculum or problems for designers or students to solve. Rather, this book will be a concise overview of the many facets of graphic design, such as communication theory and why it is important; various types of problems that designers confront on a daily basis; and the considerations that must be made when trying to solve those visual problems. In addition, it features prominent designers and design firms that are renown for work in a certain type of design.
