Graphic Design Solutions–6th Edition

When you adopt the new Graphic Design Solutions, 6th edition, you get more than content—you get a solid foundation for curricula based on design principles and an informed design process. Design educators worldwide use this book to build and support curricula. 

Graphic Design Solutions is more than a book—it’s pedagogy—it’s any educator’s rich instructional resource. I provide an instructor’s manual, syllabus, teaching methodology, rubric, PowerPoint presentations, and quizzes that complement challenging exercises and projects for several core courses—including Graphic Design 1 & 2, Type 1, Identity Design, and Advertising Design. Basic design principles for courses in poster design, book cover design, motion, web and mobile design are also included. Graphic Design Solutions, 6th edition, is the most comprehensive textbook and reference on graphic design for print and screen media. 

To ensure students conceive engaging concepts and design in a rapidly changing wired world, the entire sixth edition has been expanded and updated to include new figures, diagrams, examples, exercises and projects, essays, case studies, interviews with designers, showcases of designers’ works, a new guide to composition, and cutting-edge information. Plus, I’ve covered contemporary approaches to web design, typography, mobile media, motion/animation, branding and visual identity, advertising, and storytelling for design. I’ve revised all chapters to reflect the latest industry standards, terminology, theories, and career expectations. There’s a great deal of new content about major graphic design and advertising formats and disciplines, career competencies and creative preparation, design thinking, ways to improve conceptual and creative thinking, and much more.
