Book Description

2D: Visual Basics for Designers features a concept-based approach that explores the fundamental elements, principles, and applications of two-dimensional design for print and screen-based media. This striking new book covers 2D applications in a variety of visual communications-from graphic design and advertising design to environmental design and illustration. Building a strong foundation in two-dimensional design, 2D: Visual Basics for Designers not only provides readers with essential content; it also teaches the conceptual and analytical skills designers must have to think visually, critically, and creatively.

This review is from: 2D: Visual Basics For Designers (Paperback)
I took a digital imaging class that involved reading this cook, and writing critiques on works, using the elements and principles of design as outlined in the book. That book got dogeared! The class involved some concepts of Art that I hadn't been exposed to, due to not being educated in the fine Arts. This book filled in many gaps.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Book, August 17, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 2D: Visual Basics For Designers (Paperback)
This book is great. I underline and highlight in it constantly. It has great examples that reinforce the text and is easy to read and understand. I am a beginning designer and this book really helped me out. I know that I will refer back to it often because design principles are timeless.
