Title: Mediocre
Review: Add me to the chorus of naysayers. There are a few good concepts in here, buried in repetitive, obtuse writing and confusing (!) layout.Some, even many, of the examples are good, but the book is too small in format to do them proper justice. I wouldn't be surprised if White designed the book for a larger size, but it got reduced to cut costs.I'm a dabbler/hobbyist with a limited design bookshelf, but for what it's worth, I would suggest instead:The Non-Designer's Design Book-- for a much clearer and more compelling introduction to graphic design basics for novices. Simple and informal, but way more memorable.Logo Font & Lettering Bible: A Comprehensive Guide to the Design, Construction and Usage of Alphabets and Symbols-- colorful, packed with visual ideas, pure fun.Thinking with Type: A Critical Guide for Designers, Writers, Editors, & Students (Design Briefs)-- much better written, more comprehensive, and better looking "serious" coverage of similar material.
