Reviews
A couple years ago, I also bought Launching the Imagination: A Guide to Two-dimensional Design (by the same author), for a design class. I found the book informative as well as visually interesting, and A Comprehensive Guide to Basic Design is no different. It includes the same content found in A Guide to 2-D Design, but covers 3-D and 4-D design too (hence, comprehensive). The supplemental art pieces they used in the book were both diverse and intriguing. It helped me think more about basic concepts and how to use them in my art and designs.
