This is a good book! Ironically, the newer cover isn't much more appealing.

I used this book when I first started learning design. The general look and feel are horribly outdated (weird geometric stamp-like shapes, neon colours, oh so very 90s) the actual principles of design that it covers are solid. It's not that the author of this book doesn't know what she's talking about, it's just that the design style she's using is fifteen years out of date.

I've read the book, and the graphic design is shit. If I remember correctly, she uses some Comic Sans too? Seriously, the experience of this book was nauseating.

On the other hand, Williams offers some solid advice. Her other books ("The PC is not a Typewriter") are decent.

Well, seems to me the perfect book if you want to learn non-design.

I think I just threw up a little.
