Graphic Design Manual: Principles and Practice

Summary: Bible of graphic design???
Review: Even though Armin Hofmann has made a grand contrubution to the design world, I surely don't consider this book as a beginners manual. The one book that I can only consider to open the beginners horizon is "A History of Graphic Design" by Philip B. Meggs. In the long run, this is a good book, but not for the freshman.

Summary: GRAPHIC DESIGN BIBLE
Review: THIS BOOK IS THE BIBLE OF GRAPHIC DESIGN...FOR ALL OF YOU GRAPHIC DESIGNERS, YOU NEED TO KEEP THIS BOOK AS A GUIDE. THIS BOOK CONTAINS THE FOUNDING PRICIPLES OF DESIGN. IF YOU ARE A NEW OR HAS BEEN DOING DESIGN FOR A AS FOR YEARS, THIS OLD BOOK IS THE TESTEMENT OF WHAT GRAPHIC DESIGN IS ALL ABOUT!
