These techniques and ideas may be viable options or influences for your own work and if they also help you to make really great graphic design, all's the better!" – Steven Heller and Gail AndersonIncludes sections on:Colour, White Space, Geometry, Perspective, Scale, Improvisation, Lettering, Illusion, Punctuation Marks, Illegibility, Distortion, Blur, Sculpting Type, Collage, Motion Design and much more."This little yellow book with cover design by Pentagram sums up concepts within graphic design, incorporating pearls of wisdom from designers such as Michael Bierut, Neville Brody, Paula Scher and Paul Rand.
