    Design Books

    I was a lucky, lucky boy and given an Amazon voucher the other day.

    I'm looking for good design book recommendations - preferably print design or something to help web design novices. Any suggestions?

    I'd highly recommend "How To Be a Graphic Designer Without Losing Your Soul" by Adrian Shaughnessy.

    Well worth the read.

    Amazon.com: How To Be a Graphic Designer Without Losing Your Soul (9781568985596): Adrian Shaughnessy: Books

    Fries With That - I agree, I've got that one, it's a great book. That's the type of thing I'm after rather than an 'eye candy' style book.

    Boss Hog - Cheers for the link, I hadn't seen that one. I'll have a read through now.
