Graphic Design Now

‘Graphic Design Now’ is a book I often look at for inspiration, when I need to design something, since you can find any kind of design, ranging from illustrations, to logos, to photography and even packaging design, so it has something to offer for everyone. The author talks about the the graphic design as a whole, explores the origins of interesting design, while trying to explain artists thought process to the reader. It’s an interesting read for sure, but the thing I get absorbed into the most are the illustrations. Usually, these kinds of books show you only the design from the older days of the industry, but this one is special. It actually shows you designs from both old times and modern times, so you can see and compare how the design trends have changed.
