المراجعة التحريرية | I have found no better text for teaching graphic design than the Basics Design series-they're the books I've been waiting my entire teaching career for. Chapter-based learning packaged in easily digestible sizes for one term with excellent, current examples of the theory presented in practice. * Darren Stebeleski, Martha Street Studio, Canada * This is a very good basic introduction to grids used in print. It introduces students to a range of concepts and principles used in page layout of various communication medium. The writing style is easy to follow and the book contains plenty of visual examples. * Joyce Yee, Senior Lecturer in Design, Northumbria University, UK * This book is a concise, visually clear introduction to the grid. My students have responded to the clear diagrams and organization of the book with a focus on short, contained spreads each covering a clear topic. * Jennifer Roos, Mercy College, USA * Excellent choice for level 1 students, mainly due to the fact that the content is visual and concise and successfully covers both technical and creative aspects of design layout and grids. * Rhed Fawell, Middlesex University, UK * Clear information and loads of diagrammatic and illustrative support. Good basic instruction and visual guidance. * Penny Kealey, East Riding College, UK * As with all books in the Basics Design series, it is very clear, well structured and easy to navigate. * Philip Dixon, Southampton Solent University, UK * Very focused. Covers all key elements and important issues in very clear and concise manner. Excellent book. * Rhiannon Robinson, Cumbria University, UK * Illustrates a wide range of approaches and delivers a clear description of the examples and encourages experimentation in design. * Ros Garland, Lincoln University, UK * Grids touches on many aspects of strategic grid use and design - from basic terminology to fundamentals of layout to the introduction of detail-level considerations - that lead to the presentation of content that is both well-managed and aesthetically impactful. * Julie Mader-Meersman, Northern Kentucky University, USA * Very nice introduction to this subject ... Nice to see practical tasks in the text along with real world examples. -- Gary Martin, London College of Communication, UK |
