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

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

An informative book covering a host of design principles.

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.

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...

Very thorough exploration of the subject. Will be coming back to this book a lot.

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!

I bought this for my daughter as she has just begun GCSE Graphics. She found it really clear and easy to understand and is going to do some of the branding exercises in her own time. She really loved the design of the book, which made her trust that the author really knows what she is talking about. I think that the book would be a really good investment for anyone starting up their own business who isn't experienced in branding. It encourages you to think about the importance of design in an accessible way.

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.

É um ótimo livro pra quem está empreendendo e precisa ser seu próprio designer e também para pessoas, como é meu caso, que estão aprofundando-se no design gráfico.

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 💯❤️
