Summary: Too small to know
Comment: This book may be fantastic, but I have no idea as the width of the book is too small to properly open the book. Why would a designer approve this book size, makes me question how good he can be. I wished I had saved my money as it is too frustrating to battle out holding the book open to read.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A great resource for students and professionals alike!
Comment: This book was mis-listed for one of my classes, but after buying it, I found myself taking it everywhere with me and reading it anytime I had spare time. Every time you look through it, you learn something new. As most artistic people are, I'm very visual, and all the examples really enhance the book and help to cement the ideas and rules. Very colorful, helpful and ultimately FUN TO READ! I love this book and recommend it!!

Summary: Wow. Simply put this is a better verison of another book!
Comment: If you bought this book your going to be extremely happy. I have 5+ years in design and I'm learning new things as I go through this book. It's teaching me things my teachers in COLLEGE did not even teach. This is hands down one of the strongest books I've ever read and the exercises inside provide so much great hands on experiments for you to play with.
If you already spent the money to buy The non-designers graphic design book you need to buy this! This goes into so much great detail than I would've expected.
All I can say is WOW. Great investment. I've totally changed the way I look at design.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Every Designer NEEDS this book!
Comment: This is the book that was missing in college. So what makes the difference between Wow and O.K. Read it, study it, do the excersizes... follow it. I wish every hobbist in the digital scrapbook world would discover this book.
Jim Krause is one of THE BEST teachers of our time.
