Comments on: Graphic Design Theory: Readings from the Field http://www.clementfaria.com/blog/graphic-design-theory-readings-from-the-field/ A Web Developer's Journal Fri, 06 Aug 2010 03:34:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Hartleib http://www.clementfaria.com/blog/graphic-design-theory-readings-from-the-field/comment-page-1/#comment-973 Hartleib Tue, 17 Nov 2009 02:25:47 +0000 http://www.clementfaria.com/blog/?p=229#comment-973 <br />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.

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.
