Graphic design becomes easier to understand when you can see the choices behind an image. The textbook connects ideas, visual examples and practical work, from the first sketch to a finished layout.
Written by Evgeny Borodin, the original textbook is the foundation of the project. Its authorship and visual explanations come before the technology around it.
