Graphic Design: The New Basics

Graphic Design: The New Basics - Ellen Lupton, Jennifer Cole Phillips Not exactly the "new basics" I expected out of the book, given the title. This book offers more of primer for graphic design principles. Relevant selection of images to illustrate the points made, although they mostly were of student projects. Would've been great if some professional examples had been included as well.

For me the book offered a quick refresher of things I learnt in a Publication Design module I took in uni. Some sections were slightly more detailed than what I had learned but other than that, this really is a general overview.
