Product Description
Approach page design in a revolutionary new way! Unlike other graphic design books, The Elements of Graphic Design reveals the secrets of successful graphic design from the unique perspective of the page’s “white space.” With the help of carefully selected examples from art, design, and architecture, the role of white space as a connection between page elements is thoroughly explored. Clear, insightful comments are presented in a dynamic page design, and interactive design elements, thought-provoking captions, and scores of illustrations challenge designers to “think out of the box.” This unique resource is guaranteed to inspire more creative and thorough thinking….

This book is problematic on all levels. The first of which is the cover….look how eratic the image(s) are on the cover. Observe how the books titles, and authors name actually start on the back cover and work their way around the spine and to the front. This is exceptionally bad design. Today, I returned my copy of the book. Also note that the author fails to detail which (if any) companies he has worked for….saying only that he has “worked in the America’s”….what the hell does that mean? If you buy this book wou will be returning it sooner or
later! Youv’e been warned!

I know that design could be construed as using beautifully flowered language, but usually there’s authors will combine that language with one main idea per paragraph which is (at least usually) part of a section or chapter. Alex passes up this convention in favor of metaphors and analogies which seemed more or less randomly selected. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get almost anything out of the first 30 pages of this book.
Severely disappointed.

This is not just a coffee table book of pretty pictures, it is filled with great advice for designers. I have read several books on graphic design, and this is one of the best.
