The Graphic Design Bible: The definitive guide to contemporary and historical graphic design

nice

This book is aimed at students, practitioners and anyone with an interest in graphic design. There are easy to follow chapters, a useful lexicon, abundant historical background and a host of brilliant examples. I particularly found interesting the entries on Typeface Psychology, Propaganda and the whole section on Practice, including Graphic Wit. There's also a comprehensive list of references. All in all, a real 'bible for those of us who love a good poster, book cover or album cover. I learnt a lot.
