I teach 100 & 200 level college classes, so not all of these projects are applicable. The book is just okay, but I think that depends on the level of your students and what sort of projects you are looking for. If I were to only buy one book for helpful suggestions and assignments, this ISN’T the one. I strongly recommend “Graphic Design School” by David Dabner or “The News Graphic Design School” by Alan Swann. At least those have better color pictures, afterall this is a very visual topic by nature!

The book goes exactly to the nitty gritty of the subject. It draws out a map of the entire Graphic Design class/course. Day by day, class by class, and year by year. The entire course. But, unfortunately, it is also a little out dated without one online link. It is very out dated.

Although many lessons are given, not many examples are shown. It assumes that one knows a lot about teaching the subject and has had similar lessons in the past. Good for experienced teachers, not so good for those new to the subject. I would recommend Resnick’s “Design for Communication” instead.
