The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Graphic Design
This book makes the complexity of Graphic design accessible to all! The language is easy to comprehend and put into practice and yet communicates innovative ideas. As a professional designer I find it to be a profoundly useful tool in my tool box. It is a MUST have for designer, small business owners or anyone exploring the wonderful world of design! It is a a bargain for the wealth of knowledge it contains. I look forward to future works by Ms. Crum and Ms. Layton Tunner

Think book is so well written that I being older and not very swift in the computer field nor photography could understand each chapter. I plan to use this to enhance my work as an artist and setting up formats for entery into art shows.
Many of the suggestion points made in the book I have underline for easy reference when working on other projects.
Looking forward for more books written by Marjorie Crum and Marcia Layton Turner

I bought this book as an educational tool, more for how I approach others than for myself. I’ve been a professional graphic designer for 19 years and have wanted a source to refer to those who want to know the tricks of the trade but were at a loss when confronted by so many “creative rules.” This book offers that answer. It’s tough to narrow down what a non professional needs to know about design but the information is practical and appropriate. I would feel confident giving it to non design friends and acquaintances to help them improve their design skills. To be specific, I like the way the images illustrate the author’s points. Great for visual learners and artists. Definitely recommended.
