Review # 1 was written on 2020-08-01 00:00:00 Aaron Jakubec This book was passed on to me when I started my first professional job 15 years ago, and it was already two decades old at that point. The thing about good design, though, is that it doesn't change even if tastes do. Sure, the typefaces and colors are straight from the 80s, but the principles of how to construct an attractive and eye-catching advertisement, book cover, center spread, and more are foundational to any designer. As goofy as it looks in the 21st century, How To Understand And Use Design And Layout is an essential reference work for any desktop publisher's bookshelf -- and one I return to time and again.
