What are good books for learning graphic arts?
Posted under Uncategorized by admin
I was interested in using my creativity and possibly learning graphic arts concentrated on web developing. What are some good books to learn about graphic arts, art, and web design?
Meggs, History of Graphic Design
Landa, Graphic Design Solutions, also Advertising by Design
Carter, Day and Meggs, Typographic Design
Clair, Busic-Snyder, A Typographic Workbook
Samara, Making and Breaking the Grid
Those books will all give you a good grounding in graphic design, typography and the history of Graphic design. These are the foundations for being a graphic designer.
The software is secondary; once you've studied design concepts, then progress to the software, and web design. If you are going to learn web design, although you can use software that handles the code for you, it's a good idea to get at least a basic grounding in HTML, XHTML and CSS.
