Filled with step-by-step design development examples, this easy-to-use, “how-to” introductory design book clearly explains the basic building blocks of design―how to stimulate creativity, the process of design (from thumbnails to layouts to comprehensives), and the immediate application of these concepts to specific design projects for print and electronic media.
