An excellent resource for Graphics students. This is the SECOND year I will be ordering this title for my Graphic Art Production students. I hope Mr. Pipes plans to keep this publication up to date with another edition. What I like about this book is manifold: the author's clear, intelligent and succinct language tops my list. My students and I both found his prose not just informative, but interesting. The information covers all the basic concerns of a designer involved in production for print and the internet (it gives a well fleshed-out overview of all our areas of study at least). The section on Typography is also quite thorou. "Only four stars as this was written in '97." according to A Customer. I have used this as a text for a graphic art production class and have found it to be excellent in terms of its explanations. The diagrams are clear, the text concise, the content easily comprehended by my students. I really like the 'Design Trailblazers'it maintains the heart of good design throughout the often clinical aspects of production. A nice representative selection as wellthe students could relate. I await the next edition.. great book It was a great book. Would recommended it to anyone taking basic design.good book with lots of information for anyone .
