How This Book is Structured


Each chapter in this book explores a topic and then leads you through a project that will challenge your design skills. The design projects are open-ended, so you can take them in many different creative directions. Carry them out with extreme flair, and you'll have at least nine professional-caliber design pieces to pack in your portfolio.

The book has three main sections:

  • Chapter 1 begins with an exploration of the principles and elements of graphic design, and gives you a project that focuses on building your critiquing skills. If you're new to graphic design, this chapter will help you get your footing by providing an introduction to design principles.

  • Chapters 2 and 3 provide a workout in some essential Photoshop and Illustrator techniques that any design student should know. Two practical projects will flex your technical skills. If you're relatively new to Photoshop and Illustrator, these chapters are a must.

  • Chapters 4 through 10 focus on specific kinds of graphic design projects: digital imaging, digital illustration, poster design, logo design, advertising design, magazine design, and packaging design. Each topic and project will introduce you to important design principles for the medium.
