This was good 7 years ago, 26 Feb 2007
By Jameson Gray "Tiger Ox" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The New Graphic Design School (Paperback)
Graphic Design School has some useful tools for beginners, but more than half of the book is outdated. Graphic Design School has a few sections on design theory, and more than half the book are tutorials in photoshop, illustrator, etc.
The book boasts a bit how today you cannot talk about or teach graphic desing without addressing technology, This is where the book faulters. Technology tchanges so quickly now that this book's many tutorials end up being very obsolete (pre adobe CS). It would have been nice if this came with a CD that could get updates for tutorials, etc. A book like this needs to make a new edition atleast every 2 years to keep up.

Graphic Design School, 12 Jun 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: New Graphic Design School 2e (Paper Only): A Foundation Course in the Principles and Practices of Graphic Design (Paperback)
This book teaches the basic principles of graphic design as they are currently taught and learned. Graphic Design School is a must for any new designer or design student who is a visual learner, which of course most designers are. There are many examples of student's work. The next best thing to being in the classroom, because you can compare your progress with other students, and thus determine your viability in what can be a very competitive field.Also and excellent teaching tool for more advanced designers, a back-to-basic guide for solving graphic problems and blocks.
Text includes many color photos and illustrations. Easy to follow along and genuinely interesting.

A Must for Web Designers, 5 Jan 2001
By Linda A. Goin "goinhome" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: New Graphic Design School 2e (Paper Only): A Foundation Course in the Principles and Practices of Graphic Design (Paperback)
I have met many web designers who have never learned the basic skills of graphic design. "Graphic design School" is the best book out there today on learning the techniques and tools for basic graphic design practices. Swann covers the 'Language of Design,' 'Principles and Techniques' and 'Commercial Practice.' Short, concise and beautifully illustrated to relay the importance of knowing this craft for a solid design foundation.Web colors are not mentioned, nor do you see anything about browser selection nor any debate over screen size. What you do see are the brief introductions to corporate design, logos, editorial design and packaging. All basics to build on for a graphic design career, including web design.
Listmania!
