    • This is a great book for beginners and students who are interested in learning more about practical uses of typography across web and print. . . The book showcases many typographic layouts from both modern and classical designs which provide helpful lessons. . .

    • This book is an analysis of the construction and deconstruction of grid based design. . . For a beginner this is an interesting look at two concepts that will make you think about structure and how to break the rules. . . As quoted on the back of the book: ‘in order to effectively break the rules of grid-based design, one must first understand those rules and see them applied to real world projects.’ . . This book introduces you to the idea of the grid, and how to use it with lots of examples across several decades with detailed information. . . Later in the book you're introduced to the notion of freedom in design without a grid. . .

    • *** NEW COURSE ANNOUNCEMENT *** . . Hey Everyone, So now the After Effects course is complete, published and rolling out. It’s now time for me to start work on the next course. After some thought and initial planning, I now have an idea of what I am going to create for you guys next. . . My next course will be: Multimedia Design Course 2 . . Now some of you may have watched my multimedia design course for print I released some years back. Well, I am particularly excited to revisit the subject, but this time create a multimedia media design course for digital. . . Now we have After Effects under our belts, we can now move on and do more advanced tutorials for motion graphics and some more creative and exiting design. . . So the next course will include design across both print and digital building on all the beginner's guides we have done so far and also importantly, cover some design process that I have been pretty keen to share with you for some time. . . So we will be diving back into Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign and After Effects! Right now the course is looking to be about 27 episodes long so it may take a little while to produce. But as always I’ll do my very best to get it out as soon as possible. . . Let me know your thoughts. I’ll be back soon with another update with the course structure and episode list we will be covering in the multimedia design course 2. . . Thank you for your patience, working as quickly as I can! . . Cheers, Gareth
    • This is a great introduction and guide to the principles and practise of graphic design. . .

The second section puts these basics into practice, and gives information about studio techniques and production issues relevant to a number of different graphic design disciplines. . . At the end This book even goes as far as to provide an overview of some of the different career choices open to students entering the graphic design field. . . A Must have for any beginners. . .

    • Over the past few years my freelance work has increasingly been for logo identity and branding. This book is a mammoth and is jam packed full of amazing logo design from the 1940s to the 1980s, back when there was no computers or gimmicks, just pure concept and craft. During my visual research and discovery phase on a project I always flick through this book. One of my favs. A huge inspiration to me as some of the most simple of logo designs. Amazing inspiration for you purists out there! If you practise logo design, you simply have to have this book. Logo Modernism - by Jens Muller and R.
