READING:

Graphic Design: The New Basics

The first three chapters of this book introduce graphic design as a whole, the history (Bauhaus, Albers and Moholy-Nagy), the concepts behind it, and how its come through to this day and age. I thought this was a helpful introduction and insight as I knew near to nothing about graphic design. Although, I did get the chance to go to the Bauhaus Museum in Germany for an art trip back at school, it was interesting to read further into the history of it. The book goes on explaining the different elements of graphic design and how to create some engaging art; including titles such as, texture, rhythm and balance, pattern, transparency, etc.
