Visual Grammar: A Design Handbook (Visual Design Book for Designers, Book on Visual Communication) (Design Briefs)

good one

Received in poor packaging, some pages crumpled. A great book, delivered in a pitiful condition.

This is a must-have for anyone studying design. This book is as simple as a child's, yet it successfully relays concepts that I paid $7000 to learn over the course of two semesters. Contained in this book are the fundamentals from which ALL design stems. I cannot even put into words how succinctly elegant it is. Even if it is not required reading, buy it alongside your textbook. I guarantee that you will find yourself referencing this volume when your textbook becomes too convoluted. The way you view this book will change as you learn and grow. At first, its contents will seem childishly simple; then, as you grasp what design really involves, they will seem mind-blowingly complex. At your peak, you will see that it is a beautiful union of the two. I cannot recommend this book enough. If you are a designer, it belongs in your home.

One page on each individual technique of layout. Concise, maybe too concise, but for an amateur arranger like myself a pretty good resource.

One of the best books I have purchased in recent times. I bought it since I needed some definitions of design terms for my students but I am amazed how nice looking it is. You have all the terms explained in one or two sentences and a visual display to go with them.

Ich selbst bin Kommunikationsdesigner und habe mir dieses Buch, nachdem ich es gerne in der Bibliothek ausgeliehen hatte, nun selbst gekauft. In dem Buch werden alle grafischen Gestaltungsmittel wunderbar exemplarisch vorgeführt. Das hilft ungemein, wenn man eine Bildsprache für ein Design entwickelt, da es die Möglichkeiten, die einen zur Hand stehen vollständig aufführt. Somit eignet sich dieses Werk einerseits für Design-Studenten, die alle Möglichkeiten kennenlernen möchten, als auch für "fertige" Designer, als Werkzeugset passend zum Designprozess.

Bel libro
