4.0 out of 5 stars
very good little handbook, but really ugly,
By A Customer
This review is from: Principles of Two-Dimensional Design (Paperback)
This book is full of information, and is really well laid out. I use it frequently in the 2D class I teach, along with two other 2D design books. I like the clarity and the examples. However, there's no getting away from the fact that although this book is loaded with great stuff, that it is also as ugly and cheesy looking as a bad Xerox. That might be okay for a math book, but ummmmm, 2D design?

5.0 out of 5 stars
A tiny gem,
By A Customer
This review is from: Principles of Two-Dimensional Design (Paperback)
A romp through the construction of visual form and pattern. This book is subtle yet deep. Although the example designs are not exquisitely rendered (but rather student projects), the principles that Wong exposes should be part of any designers knowledge base.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A classic of the biz!,
By divaRead (Santa Monica, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Principles of Two-Dimensional Design (Paperback)
A definitive classic for any true graphic design student, as it shows the fundamentals of developing a designer's eye in the relationship of objects in space in conveying communication through imagery. A bit abstract in terminology for the armchair reader, but its foundational language still manages to be engaging and thought-provoking for designers, seasoned and newbie alike.
