I am currently reading Graphic Design: A User’s Manual by Adrian Shaughnessy with a Foreward by Michael Bierut. It’s a book that offers insight to the complexities of current graphic design practice and thinking. I’m about 70 pages into the book, and it is nicely designed and organized alphabetically. I’ve already read topics about art direction, art v. design, book cover design, branding, broadcast design, clichés, creative block, and found each little section very helpful and informative. It’s books like this that make learning about graphic design fun! I would recommend this book to anyone wanting insight into the field of graphic design or simply wants to brush up on design knowledge.
