Excellent for beginners, March 4, 1998

This review is from: Creating Brochures and Booklets (Graphic Design Basics) (Hardcover)
This is a somewhat simplistic, but very good book for beginning designers. There are a lot of good samples and the author talks you through the why's and wherefore's. I wish it had more specific information on how to accomplish these designs using more standard software (like Pagemaker). Oh, well, it's still a good book.

Yikes !, August 29, 2003
This review is from: Creating Brochures and Booklets (Graphic Design Basics) (Hardcover)
I'm relatively new to the world of graphic design, but I'm quite comfortable with desktop publishing and computer graphics. I found this book to be a mish-mash of ideas and concepts that confused more than educated. I found over 20 terms introduced in one chapter with no follow up definition or description. The author jumps from one subject to another aimlessly; like going from a discussion on papers to handling a client's budget (she calls it the "Budget Ogre")in the same paragraph. Don't waste your time on this book.
