Best book on design for pubs directors
Rating  (5)

Not much to add to what has already been said; just wanted to give it another five-star review, which it richly deserves. I've been a publications director for eight years now, and it's been a tremendous asset.

I ADORE THIS BOOK! It was a great refresher after college when I needed to brush up on some things. It helps the reader to better understand why certain designs work and do not work.

A Standard, a Classic

I purchased this as a gift for a photographer friend who had long wanted it. She says that it is a standard, a classic--and that she wished it were still in print.

I like the book, but the hand drawn illustrations get a bit old about half way into the book. Great info though that I haven't seen in other books. Will be on my reference shelf for possible layout designs and tidbits of info. I would buy it again.

I use this book to teach my first year graphic design students. It has some excellent and simple illustrations. The layout of the book is very friendly and easy to follow.
