I recommend for any students or anyone interested in the fundamentals. As someone who is just interested in design I would have preferred more visual examples. I will be checking out Richard Poulin's other books.

This is a course book, written as such and is of best use to students already engaged in and accustomed to designing terminology.

Thanks to the publisher for the ARC and all the best to the author.

Let me start by saying that I think I will buy a physical copy for my own bookshelf one day. This book is full of theory and a lot of technical stuff and it is a gem for anyone interested in graphic design. It talks about everything, including the golden section, rule of thirds, paper sizes and all elements of a poster.

This book is useful for students, but it's also great for anyone who is really interested in graphic design - plus every chapter ends with a few questions to test your knowledge. I think my only complaint is that this book could have used more images as examples - actual posters and compositions. It does have a section at the end full of examples, and that is really useful, but personally I prefer the examples on the same page with the theory explaining the elements and concepts.

Even so, I loved it.

Sadly my computer won't open this file and I cant read it. however, I bet it would have been amazing
