Hello folks,
I'm currently mainly a coder, but I also love graphics design and design in
general. I would love to improve my overall design awareness. Does anyone
have any book (or any other resource such as website, magazine, mailing
list, whatever) to recommend ? If so, I would be grateful!
About ten years ago, I read a book from Microsoft Press (really!). It
was named "Desktop Publishing by Design." Half of it was tutorials for
Adobe PageMaker (which are now utterly irrelevant), but the other half
went into quite a lot of detail about the printing process, page layout,
font selection, and particularly the EFFECT of different page layouts
and font, graphic, and color selections on the tone and feel of your
work. I don't know if the series is still around, but perhaps you can
find an old revision of the book for pennies on the dollar.
