Graphics fans: you need this book!

The Elements of Graphic Design (Second Edition) is the kind of book I discovered at a public library and then immediately purchased my own copy. The author, Alex W. White, has designed many magazines and corporate identity programs.

In his latest book, he's produced an excellent reference and resource that should be on the bookshelf of every graphic designer and student of the print and publication arts. It's the type of volume one browses through to catch the muse or find some inspiration for a new project.

White covers the history of typography and the reasons for organized page layout. I find myself paging through it often and reading a chapter or two on a particular area of graphic design. I highly recommend it.
