Review: Very useful - Good book Review: Great content, exactly what I was looking for! - Great content, exactly what I was looking for. I am a recent Graphic Design graduate and during my search for a job in this area, I wished to further explore topics I wasn't so familiar in such as grid layouts, colour theory and patterns. This book covers all the major topics and condenses the information in succinct paragraphs so as not to be so overwhelming as so many non-fictional text books are. The layout is clear, and a perfect balance of text and image is in place; as the images perfectly illustrate the text's content. I'd thoroughly recommend this book for any budding designer who wishes to increase their knowledge of subjects in graphic design! ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 115,435 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 844 in Graphic Design Books 1,042 in Drawing (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 931 Reviews | ## Images ![Graphic Design: The New Basics, revised and expanded - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71D97M+c59L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very useful *by A***R on 9 August 2025* Good book ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great content, exactly what I was looking for! *by O***A on 24 September 2015* Great content, exactly what I was looking for.
