Before & After: How to Design Cool Stuff

For more than 20 years, legions of fans have been reading Before & After magazine to learn how to do just that--communicate effectively through design.

Before & After: How to Design Cool Stuff is the third in a series of books from the John McWade's page lab in Sacramento, California--perhaps the best yet. This volume includes more of his signature learn-by-example articles, among them:

> How to crop photos for function and meaning
> Eight simple ways to put the reader's eye where you want it
> Graphic Design basics such as line, shape, direction, motion, scale, color, and more
> How to use the color wheel to create pleasing color palettes
> Strategies for picking the right typeface for any project

FROM CHUCK  As always John McWade looks at the cool stuff other writers and teachers so often gloss over or miss entirely. He takes the time and makes the effort to take a design apart and tell you what makes it tick. I'm never disappointed.
