I teach Graphic Design and Digital Media and am very impressed with this book. I often refer to it and use its examples in my classes. The book does a wonderful job with laying out the numerous elements of graphic design while providing great examples. Designer biographies and mini-portfolios are included, as well as categorical breakdowns – album covers, logos, posters, etc.
The book is accessible to those who are just starting out in graphic design, as well as helpful to those who are masters in the field.
The world of Graphic Design can be a bit overwhelming at times, as there is so much information out there. This book captures all of that information and organizes it into an enjoyable, easily understandable layout.

A must have for all graphic designers either student or professional. This book should be part of your collection. I highly recommend.

This is the kind of overview graphic designers and design students need to be looking at. A good run down of most things Graphic Design related. Only a few criticisms would be that revisions would have to be made to keep it contemporary, although the beauty of a book is that; it is set in that time. Also, tthe Principles are oddly divided into sections like, Toilet signs… but this is minor nit picking.

It is not a history, a how-to, a reference, or a book of examples–though it includes elements of each. Instead, it offers a studied impression–via 400-plus well-written, beautifully illustrated entries–of the people, principles, and ingredients that have made (and are making) the field of graphic design such a compelling part of world culture.
Authors Armin Vit and Bryony Gomez Palacio ([...]) have again demonstrated their wonderful sense of what is important about graphic design. It is a must-have.
