    This fresh collection provides design texts from a wide range of designers. Before I read this I felt a bit self-conscious about my lack of training in design history/thinking. Now I feel ready for any “design theory” conversation.

    I heartily recommend this book for anyone seeking a friendly, concise overview of graphic design theory. The texts included are fresh and provocative. And the book design makes it a pleasure to read (particularly in comparison to the Looking Closer series). Each group of texts is followed by a section of vivid images called “Theory at Work” that explicates the ideas presented. I plan to reach for this book any time I need to stimulate my brain and/or my design.
