graphicdesign

Excerpt from back of book:
In this book you will find an introduction to graphic design fundamentals. As a student, you will learn that creativity in the field of graphic design (the ability to continually come up with visually appealing layouts) is not a nebulous, magical thing that people have no control over. You CAN be a good graphic designer if you learn specific, tried and true techniques and principles much the same way that you learn multiplication tables and rules of grammar. This book will show you some of those techniques and principles. Of course, as with any skill, it helps if you have an interest in the subject also. […] Practical Graphic Design guides you through this self paced, self taught workbook at least to a point where you will know if you are interested in further pursuit as a possible career option. You will be given the tools required to continue in more depth to the specific areas of interest.
