Title: Basic Indeed
Review: There's no effort to hide the fact that this book is basic, but perhaps it's too basic. The authors scurry through the full set of design principles, but often move too fast and touch too superficially to allow for real learning. Deeper analysis of the basics, substituting thoughtful examples and exercises for the many one-liners, would make this more helpful. On the other hand, it's probably useful for the part-time desktop publisher who needs to browse three "sample brochures" before four p.m. and couldn't care less about theory.
