Illustrations and analyses of classic designs sit alongside step-by-step introductions to the design and software skills necessary to achieve powerful results. The book follows a clear formula of design concepts, examples, analysis, software skills and projects. This encourages both successful development of design fundamentals and the capability to produce graphic designs. |
