Graphic Design For Everyone: Understand the Building Blocks so You can Do It Yourself

Purchased for a friends grown up son who’s in Uni and he said after going through it that it’s really good with some great tips.

The author clearly knows their subject and takes the reader through a number of design scenarios to illustrate techniques: use of layout, colour, contrast, composition, etc. Some have said about the focus on the business branding but that’s only a small section of the book and actually is a compelling reason for some people to buy the book in the first place. Many people will see the relevance of using example projects such as designing a poster, event flyer or a website. All in all, nicely put together and an excellent resource for beginners to teach the basic concepts. Recommended.

Excellent, great level of detail for the early professional or curious

Generally, this is quite a useful book, but it's a bit cheeky calling it graphic design for everyone, and then spending the first few chapters having readers complete business exercises, sketch out mindmaps and the like, and do assorted other stuff to 'create their own brand' -- not everyone interested in graphic design necessarily wants to start a business or create a personal brand logotype or graphical identity... Otherwise, it does do a good job of introducing some basic and more advanced topics to Jo Normal...

I absolutely love this book, it tells you everything you need to know about getting started in the Graphic design industry and it even gives you practise exercises and briefs which are like work experience in itself.The book offers an insight into the building blocks needed to fully understand design and how to apply these skills to everyday design projects.I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking to start their career in Graphic design!

An informative book covering a host of design principles.

Browse it. Dip into it at random. Keep it handy. Enjoy it. Become familiar with it. Make a friend of it. Don't necessarily copy the designs and ideas but let your own thoughts come through. If at first you don't succeed.... well, you know. It is a very good book that will help you think like a designer. Keep it near your desk at all times and don't lend it out.

Love this book! Have a couple DK intro books on various topics and they never disappoint me. The content is so well organized, relevant and interesting.This is a book that I can read from cover to cover.

Very useful information! It's easy to understand, full with photos, do's and don't. Recommend!

I would say it's kinda boring stuff

I really loved the book which has everything about the basics of graphic design and also useful for other designers too and must buy for the beginners ofcourse and also for people who are interested in designs .....the quality of the book was also soo good ...Must buy 💯❤️
