This review is from: The Digital Designer's Bible: The Print and Web Designers' Toolkit for Stress-Free Working Practice (Paperback)

This is the best resource book I have ever seen about all aspects of digital design. It covers computer basics then has sections on print and web. Descriptions are clear, easy to understand, beautifully illustrated and absolutely up to date. This is a must-have book for teachers.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Reference, March 6, 2005

This review is from: The Digital Designer's Bible: The Print and Web Designers' Toolkit for Stress-Free Working Practice (Paperback)

This is something a new graphic/web designer will refer to, if he/she needs to know about certain terms used in the business or about the tools that he/she may need to get his/her job done. It doesn't go into details but provides enough information to go further. Excellent layout, design and printing.

Book has bundles of information about working in the print or the web design world. Has theory and abundant, little found, coverage of practical professional designer issues. Presented in two page semi-independent modules.
