Computer Shopper, February 1999
The easy steps guides are generally good value and since few of us really want to learn more about matters typographic, this relatively inexpensive book covers enough. That there isn't enough awareness of page layout or good text design or even good taste is obvious from the home-made flyers and leaflets stuffed under windscreen wipers and through letter boxes. If you are in business for yourself and appreciate the cost benefits of doing your own layout work, this book should do wonders for your image.
PC Home, January 1999
Nowadays it is possible for anyone with a computer to produce their own newsletters, presentations and so on from the comfort of their home. The down side of this is that a great many people without the slightest understanding of even the most basic of design concepts have unleashed their creations on the world.
This book starts with the absolute basics, explaining things like how to sketch out your ideas, and when to use serif and sans serif fonts. By the end, the author Sally Hughes has covered everything from using coloured tints to effectively cropping images for inclusion in your designs.
This is an excellent introduction to key design concepts, which could do with being made compulsory reading for anyone who purchases a printer for their home PC. If you want to make your creations look slick, well-balanced and professional, this is definitely a book worth purchasing. - winner of PC Home Silver Award.
