A market-leading text, GRAPHIC DESIGN BASICS continues to showcase some of the best work from all areas of design. The text combines history, current technology, and design principles to give a rich, well-rounded view of this ever-evolving field. Programs without a design history class will benefit from the emphasis on visuals from the history of design, while more comprehensive programs will be pleased to find information relevant to current studio practice. This edition brings new and up-to-date information about computer graphics, including a guide to generating successful files for electronic pre-press.

Review:

"GRAPHIC DESIGN BASICS very clearly steps the students through the basics of graphic design, both approaching from a practical and conceptual level."

"I have not used, nor have I found a text I would feel could take the place of GRAPHIC DESIGN BASICS. It is well written, well organized, and provides an excellent introduction to the subject."
