Just finished reading this rather great book. It really is well worth a read - it covers everything ....and leaves you wanting to find out even more about everything. With that in mind, I'm now going to spend some hard earned cash on adding to my cherished graphics library. One day I hope to have a wall, floor to ceiling, filled with design knowledge goodness.
A library infact. With a big bean bag.
Another good read by Adrian Shaughnessy, is How to be a Graphic Designer Without Losing Your Soul.
